How difficult would it be to build a one room plus bathroom house?
The actual process of construction, I can get the ingredients.
I'm thinking of buying a gardening lot and building a house that can pass for a large patio/shed when it comes to inspections.
Hardest part would be laying cables and the plumbing right? I would also need either a plate furnace or a fireplace, either way I need a chimney that doesn't let heat out.
I would also need a washing machine and a fridge, fridge is easy but idk how to get the water for the washing machine.
Oven would be the antique wood kind I think.
Doable? I have no idea how to do the toilet besides dig a massive hole, reinforce from the sides and hope it drains into the soil faster than it fills up
Hardest part would be trying to pass it off as a shed. A lot of places don't allow you to build secondary structures before the primary home. Maybe you should consider renovating a camper?
Also I'm proud of you for switching boards anon
>Hardest part would be trying to pass it off as a shed.
Worst case scenario I glue planks to the outside wall. If that's the hard part then please tell me how to do the easy part of hooking up electricity and water to a washing machine and also how to build a chimney that doesn't let heat out.
>also how to build a chimney that doesn't let heat out
you've never had a wood stove have you?
you would be far better off buying an established cabin that needs work and going from there. you can concentrate on your aesthetic choices that way and be as hipster as frick. if you try to pass a shed with plumbing off as a shed you're going to get curbstomped by zoning and permitting and fines.
and established doesn't have to mean existing, we sold a nice rural property with a septic and well in place. the trailer had burned down and 30 years had passed, but none of that mattered- the electrical grid was just waiting and the new buyers could easily put a house there. ymmv depending on where you live, but there are much better options than a garden plot out there.
Don't underestimate the bullshit of local government and nosy neighbors. The rest of it can be learned by picking up a book, doing a Google search, or actually working in the field. Hell you can volunteer at habit for humanity and learn a ton there. Yeah you're going to frick up, but you can learn enough to not frick it up so bad that you cannot fix it. You're not building a structure so big that a frick up now will cause you to have major headaches months later.
Also as for the toilet, you could try a compostable. I'm assuming you can't put a septic tank in a gardening plot so maybe shut in a bucket and have a compost pile to dump it in. Sawdust does wonders for the smell
>buying a gardening lot
If this is a thing, then a shed would be the primary structure.
>if this is a thing
Why would you doubt this?
A lot of European cities sell shitty land that gets flooded all the time or is on a hill too steep to build anything tall on as gardening lots
meanwhile americans build on the side of mudslide zones like it's nothing.
>Why would you doubt this?
Because this isn't a thing where I live. Community gardens exist everywhere, but they're zoned commercial.
>how do I do this thing?
>hardest part would be the part that's easy
>oh okay so how do I do this other part that should be easier?
>uhm you've never done this very specific thing? Yeah it's over, best you can hope for is buying a house that alewady has it in place
Wow thank you do it yourself board for telling me to just pay extra for a readymade
>I can get the ingredients.
homie finna cook up a dwelling
Maybe drop an actual shed on the lot and feed it the utilities you need. Then try to fly under the radar.
Otherwise you pull permit and talk to a builder about any steps you can tackle to improve the full project costs.

insurmountable difficulty for you, in afraid
More unhelpful advice
The dosguisjg part is the easy part how does one build a dwelling with a working chimney and running water and electricity
>working chimey
buy a wood burning stove, it will have a hole at the back for smoke, you attach a cast iron pipe that runs from the inside to outside the building, and use fire-resistant material where the pipe leads to the outside walls.
>running water
you attach a water source like a well, or local water supply, to an electric pump, the pump sends water to a large tank to store it, the tank goes to taps, like the water pressure in a house
>electricity
same concept, you attack cables to the national grid OR your own generator/solar/wind whatever that go to a battery bank which connect to your lights, electricals
its all self explanatory dude, you just need to understand how things actually work
Heating, plumbing and electricity is the most difficult because you have to learn how circuits and pressure/flow work, mistakes are also very dangerous with water damage, fires etc
Actually building a floor, walls and a roof you could get away with absolutely winging it just to make shelter and then building it properly later.
But yeah, you'll need to put in some effort to learn plumbing and electrics
Build a cool underground bunker, OP
>inconspicuous garden
>build an outhouse with a ladder in the toilet to crawl down as entrance or something
>looks like no structure built
>great passive heating and cooling
>go goblin mode
>if people notice you going in the outhouse for a long time, tell them to stop timing your shots
better yet put up an actual gardening shed with a trapdoor leading to the bunker. An outhouse might attract random people who want to piss/shit or junkies trying to shoot up.
Impossible unless you do it in bumfrick nowhere. Boomers aren’t going to approve it in most residential areas since it’s going to drag down their property values. They aren’t going to let you build your cuckbox next to their 5000 sqft McMasion
on the contrary
OP will be a kind of village idiot, a loveable buffoon, who you can watch scrambling to stop his entire house from subsiding and hear him shitting into a bucket because of the lack of soundproofing
>I would also need either a plate furnace or a fireplace
Look into rocket mass heaters
