Building my house on the hill

in #hive-1143082 years ago

This is a photographic journey telling the story of the most inspiring project I ever dared to bring to life. It started on August 23rd. 2021 when a couple of good neighbors came over to help me unload a truck full of timber. besides help carrying the heavy roof panels, I have been doing all the work single handed which is sometimes challenging but forces me to be creative.
building permits ? no. I learned that if you ask for permission, you are risking getting a no as an answer..

estimated budget up to date under 3000 Euros.

leveling off for the back side of the house, supported by gravel filled tyres

digging for foundations

framing

quality control

placing the roof. I will thank me for that in summer !

Snailing the heavy roof panels to place

Starting the double floor, sheep wool insulated

washing and drying the sheep wool

we could not resist and just had to sleep in the house

the next day the aliens also came to check it out

as a way of blessing the house and ensuring good vibrations we have had a yoga session followed by meditation

then it was time for wall frames

Then paneling

and then it was rain forecast !

to be continued...!

Wow, this is a big project for sure! Inspiring and pretty challenging :) Amazing that you have done almost everything just by yourself, well done!
It looks wonderful and I love that it is made with so much care. Looking forward to see the progress!

Thank you. I will update on the progress a bit later on.

Cool to see this, I be more back, I want see when all is ready also 🤗👌🍷🍷

Npr ;) make also big garden too , fresh food makes mind good ;)

I have several and many fruit trees. I agree ; )

Wow! That looks wonderful!!!

Thank you. It is made of wood and love ; )

Great!

Looking forward to the next part of your blog.

Thank you. waiting for the rain to stop..; )

Looking grand

Thank you !

That's nice of you that you have achieved your dream. Take care of yourself 🥂

Thank you.

🥂

The landscape where the house is going to be great looks great

It is indeed beautiful. thank you.

Wow! I wish I had this skill set!

no rocket science there.
strong will, patience, determination.
It is the first one I build ; )

Awesome, this is absolutely topnotch.
I believe this is not your first time doing that.

thank you.
I built my brother´s house with him but it was brick and mortar.
a wooden house, maybe in a past life ; )

Really cool project! 🧡

Thank you !

It looks great, we have a small garden from the family, I want to build a similar house there, but should I prefer wood? I am undecided about this, because of some insects in the garden, they can hide themselves better in wood.

Thank you. yes, termites and other insect are to be taken into consideration.
a wooden house is not for eternity. It is to serve its purpose and then go back to become organic material.

This is such a wonderful built and so inspiring as well. I look forward to seeing more if this built. Thanks so much for sharing it with us all xxxx

thank you. kind words.

Thank you so much for the tip !
this is very generous of you.

Super cool! Sheep's wool as insulation?, that is awesome!

Curious about the filled tires in the back, I know that's commonly used for earthships, but why did you use them? Just for cost?

Again, really cool build, super happy for you. Can't wait to see it completed.

Thank you.
yes, I have been talking to some people locally and they all had good things to say about sheep wool and no problems. it is so abundant some people even throw it away...!
the tyres in the back is a bit of a hybrid really. saved me on some digging ; )

Awesome, love seeing something that is so abundant and maybe even tosses as garbage, used as something so beneficial.

Ahhhh, gotcha. Glad the tires saved your back from digging....although I'd gander there was some dirt/rock packing on those tires :)

Kudos on an inspiring job! I had a similar journey starting in November 2020 which I hope to share with the community soon. Your house is looking beautiful. Well done! I look forward to following your progress.☺️

Thank you. will be happy to see your own project.

My project is not as elegant as yours but I am looking forward to sharing it later on in winter. Enjoy the rest of your build.☺️

Congratulations man! Nothing more rewarding than building something for yourself, especially a home.

so true. thank you.

Wonderful!!! @bigorna1 nice construction. It takes skill, knowledge, technic and patience to deliver this ❣️👍🏽great work. Can’t wait to see more 💪🏽

Thank you.

Your welcome dear

I must commend your great effort in putting this lovely building together... Good job dear friend.

Thank you.

Nice view. Btw, I'm a little bit curious... what is the function of dry sheep wool in there? 🤔

Thank you. the sheep wool is a great natural insulator.

good job! looks really nice for outdoor yoga :)

It was, yes. I almost left it without the walls..; )
thank you.

Wow, this is great, we here, the way houses are built is different.
I like as it coming up to look

Thank you.

You are welcome🥰 hoping to see the finishing look

Looks like a very good job.

i use old tyres too, filled with big river stones and concrete

This is one of four tyre foundation stones, with a rebar set in centre of each tyre, set in the concrete, then a tree trunk (with hole the size of the rebar drilled in bottom).

The trunks are about 4 metres long (supporting a verandah and it's roof) and about 15 cms diameter. A very difficult 2/man job to put them in place. i was supporting @mountainhigh in this process. The design is his.
