All I really want is to use wood and stone and tools to build a house for myself and maybe some Ukrainian refugee woman.
Is this an impossible dream? Why could my grandpa still build a home himself and all he was is a mining foreman.
How hard is it to build your own home these days?

Very hard, I've helped my grandpa and my father build and renovate a few houses, theres way more that goes into it than you would ever think

Buy materials you need and build to code. Sub out for stuff you don't know how to do or need a license for like tying in electrical and water.
Jonathan Wright
Zoning and build codes can very easily get in the way.

It's not easy and you will need help with everything if you have no idea what you're doing. But the pay off is worth every second.
Mason Wilson
its pretty easy when you live in a cardboard box
Matthew Lee
Building with cardboard is actually better than you think, depending on the climate.

Building itself is a skill, but then globohomo government doesn't want you building or getting out of the cities, they want you living in commie racial jungle ghettos

Illiterates used to do it in the 1200's

Start off with building a shed. Then a guest house.

Dunno what it's like in Deutschland, but in the states it can be easy as hell or a huge pain in the ass depending on state/county. I've built homes and cabins. Easiest is doing an off-grid build that forgoes electricity and has only asic plumbing. If you're doing much more than that you had better have experience in plumbing and electrical or you will get raped by contractors. Masonry is basically impossible to do if you are concerned about affordability.

Foundation, cystern at least 15 meters from the house, where pipe and wiring should go on walls, will there be heating system?

civil eng here
don't do it
you've got no idea how much work it is
you have no tools
zero idea, subzero experience
planning alone will be all stupid
don't
you're a weakling, it will take you years
it will also be not sellable, because it will be shit
also in germany you need three guys cosigning
-an trade guy / eng /arch for sending in the plans to the municipal office
-an engineer for statics planning and statics overwatch
-a trade guy (Handwerksmeister aus dem Bauhauptgewerbe) for correct constructural (moisture, sound proof, etc) execution
you would need to bribe all of these
Jaxon Fisher
You're gonna need a liocence for that.
Also, since we live in a globohomo judaified rapefugee world, you're going to have to slave away your entire life just for the materials to build a home. Land? Just slave 2 lives bro. It's that easy.

also back in the 50s there was very very little building codes
houses were small (=small beams), not insulated (=uncomplicated details), cellars were moist (people had low expectation)
and men were rugged.
today everything has to be perfect like an iphone or you ukie-wife will be pissed
the codes for heating are 20.000+ pages (I shit you not), thanks EU-burocrats
every fucking corner is complitcated as fuck. nobody can really build it anymore.
it's all fucked really

Make sure you get a new wood burning stove with catalytic converter.
>Also you have to replace the converter every few years.
>And the heat output is shit.
Think green. Consume. Throw it away. Consume more.
