Building my own house

in Architecture+Design3 years ago

I recently started building my house.
For about a year now, I've been building with my father what will be my own house.
My father has always been linked to construction in which he has worked for about 30 years in the business, so for the sake of saving I asked him if he could help me with the construction.
As we know, labor is extremely expensive.
Well he accepted very easily so we got to work easily.
Part of the money went from here at Hive no Pump for 1 dollar last year

The house is not very big but we cannot call it small either, it is a cozy space but well organized, so everything is built with your time and tastes because I save a lot of money by being my father and helping with work.
I've been on this challenge for about 1 year, many hours were wasted and so I left my weekend trips to new places.

Well, the place that is most expressive at the moment is the kitchen as it is already in the last finishes, although it still talks about the typical decoration, we can already have an idea of ​​the spaces we can count on.
We already have some appliances like the microwave and the refrigerator, we also have the extractor fan on the ceiling.
(I'm still saving for the rest, but I still need to finish the rooms with plasterboard etc, I show in the next images

On the day these photos were taken we had just installed the faucet in the stall and some power plugs.

From this angle we've already managed to take a little bit of the dimension of the room, it's a little complicated to show the details because we're still working on most of the house, so you can only see the open areas without furniture or electricity plugs

Inside this counterfeit will be the storage corner, in my mind I will go to a rack to be able to store some products in stock like rice or pasta that we usually buy in greater quantity, when we take advantage of the promotions I will also put cleaning objects like the vacuum cleaner or the broom.

From the hallway we can see a led strip to the right we have the 2 bedrooms in the first door on the left side the living room and kitchen we are talking about and in the background the bathroom

Sliding doors in the living room and bathroom to make the most of space and not have a lot of dead space, in general we always have the bedroom door open so we can make the most of the space

Finally, the bedroom space is where we are spending the most time at the moment.
Work is a little slow because we're only working on weekends and holidays, and I'm also always waiting for the end of the month so I can finish some more.
Works like these are always too expensive, but I believe that with just over 2000 dollars I'll be able to fix everything without furniture of course :)
Well, I hope you like my future space.
That's why I've been absent here at the Hive.
Hope all is well with you, big hug

Congratulations on the building of your own house. I am currently building my own house with my brother. Its very rewarding!

I love those bulbs, it reminds me of my teenage years where I study under those bulbs at night.
