How cheap to build a cottage with your own hands? We use the experience of our ancestors and pay attention to what is near us almost free of charge - firewood and saman.
The solution for the construction of the house is prepared from the calculation: 1 part clay, 1 part sawdust, 1 part manure, 1 part sand mixed in a dry form and then water is added.
Please note that with this construction technology, sawdust is added to adobe, not straw.
On the flat ground we make a layout for the house and 12 wooden poles. We dig in the bearing columns, having processed their edges with pitch which will protect them from rotting. Along the upper contour we tie the frame of the future country house. From wooden beams we mount a roof. The finished frame of the roof is tied with a rod, which will serve as the crate of our roof. We cover the roof with a vapor barrier film on which the straw is then laid. We build the walls of our country house: along the contour of the house we lay two rows of bricks, on which we then lay the laying of round wooden chocks and clay.

We continue to install the roof of the house. Because the roof is planned to be green of grass, straw is covered on the roof with a film over which we place the hose for irrigation. Then we cover the roof with a black drainage film on which pieces of sod are laid. Cut the excess film from the edges of the roof and edging it along the contour with wooden dies. Colored wooden bottles can be built into the wooden walls for decoration, which create a beautiful lighting effect inside the house.
