Wooden House

This wooden house took me 28 days to assemble (3 people-5 hours/day) and 4 month to complete the interior (walls, flooring, kitchen, paints etc..)

The ground was pretty soft so we decided to build the garage under the house and use it like a fondation. The hole looked pretty big then it rained and we got a large swimming pool.

Walls are made of SAPISIN, a product from SIMONIN, 25mm timber/50mm foam/25mm timber. The battens are precut, pre-painted on outside and pre-varnished on inside, it is just a big LEGO. Battens are screw in the main structure from the outside with 250mm stainless steel screws.

Total buildeing cost of the house (exc land) = +/-140000 Euros.
Most difficult problem: relationship with BNP bank.
good point: fast to build
bad point: sound insulation not that good compared to a concrete house.
