Do you think to build a house for $ 2,000 unrealistic? This homeless will show how to do it ...

The life of Alexander Lamar was fed and secured, but because of serious illness and divorce, he lost everything. Well, almost everything, besides a residential van and a small plot of land, which he inherited. For a whole 2 years, he lived in a car and worked unbearacted to fulfill his dream: to build a house without any loans and mortgage charges.

Alexander has accumulated $ 2,000 and built its own house of such sizes that were permissible without permission to build. I really struck the result: what he built using such a minor budget cannot not be impressed. It turned out a hut with two floors and a terrace that touches it into any weather.

How to build a budget house

1. In this photo, the start of construction: Alexander laid the foundation with concrete feet and wooden frames. This house seems to "float" on the surface.

Next - a frame from slats with plastic compacted insulation.

After that, the floor was covered with special plates that were also covered with frame walls.

Under the outer sheel of the walls - rubberoid or any other insulating material.

The floor of the second floor is the same design as the floor of the first (using chipboard).

Roof construction. Here is the Lamar and needed the help of masters.

With the installation of doors and windows, this hut slowly acquires the form of a real house.

The roof also covered chipboard. And in the end, too, tightly covered with thermal insulation. On top of all this, the roofing lane was postponed.

Just amazing how in this little hut everything is harmonized. Only 18 square meters - and a complete set! Also water from the well.

Bedroom - on the top floor. Another undisputed building already looks very comfortable.

Lamar to the facade of the house attached another terrace for his beloved and his 2 dogs. Watch the sunset from such a terrace is one pleasure.

Hooray! The buildings are completed. There is even your garden here. Over the terrace there is a system of solar panels. All electricity in the house - from the energy of the sun and wind.

Alexander Lamar is pleased with his small independent world. In the meantime, his ideas were loved by the public. Now he communicates with all through his books - you can find information about this and other projects. But even if you have an apartment, his ideas can be a very useful incentive.

Would you like to build such a secluded place for yourself?
