Myskox - Saga ¤ Building simple winterhouse

The short saga of how i built my little house two years ago, ( 2008 ) with no money and in two months.
in skattungbyn, south norrland, scandinavia.

I spent the two best years of my life there. ;)

it's by no means perfect construction, as there was humidity problems in springtime ( should have dug a ditch in the back ofcourse ) .
But the amazing part is it never went below freezing! So even when it was -30 outside, I could just come home at night and go to bed, and even heat it by my body to +7 by the morning.. and then came the sun ¤ ;D

i have new ideas for my next house, which will be mobile, kind of a wooden yurt, with big windows facing south, and thick walls insulated with sheep-wool.
it will also be a free construction. - coming up some time ;)

ps. the wagons belong to my beautiful friends

So beautiful and inspiring. In Australia you would never be allowed to build like this due to planning permits but that is the reason i am getting my builders licence, to start change .

[snkra]

@megphazeone Everything is allowed ; ) Just call it something else? A piece of art? ;D But it sure helps if you are not disturbing anyone -> Run to the hills!

How much wood to get you through a winter . How many winters you live in this?

[snkra]

@ferdonandebull Well, I'd collect in the spring so it'd be dry for winter, not much at all ( two m3? ). Few days work gathering, cutting, choppin. I stayed two winters, maybe heading back there soon ¤

Our destiny is to return to living with nature & all natural... ♥

@ThePferdchen Support. Magic in action. Having released the mind, we should release also and hands. And to move. The way is movement.

loved it guys, so nice to see we still have pioneers, this was beautiful. very touching story.

@megphazeone Usually if you can show the design is sound from an engineering standpoint, the inspectors and permit issuing agencies will give you a go ahead. The problem is that they don't see that type of construction frequently and need assurances that you're not building something that will come crashing down, catch fire or pollute the groundwater.

So you'll need an architect and/or structural engineer to look the design over and attest to it being suitable as a home.
