My husband and I are thinking about it, but we just can't decide. We could order a timber-frame house for our lot for 5 million, or buy a ready-made foam block house near the school for 6.8 million. That one already has gas, water, and flooring, with the rest needing finishing.
I just can't seem to find where to delete my account.

The difference is quite small, I'd get a ready-made one, but with a specialist's assessment.

Definitely not from a wooden beam.

I was afraid of wood, but looked at stone.

A beam for 5 million? What kind of beam is that??? That's super cheap… I'd rather use foam blocks. Good wood isn't cheap at all.

I definitely wouldn't take a "brus" (a type of Russian baby carrier).

I'd go with option 2. Communication also costs money and time. Plus, aerated concrete is easier to maintain.

Ready, and clearly not made of wood.

A house made of logs and branches always comes with surprises; so much will pop up later that you'll end up investing just as much again. A timber-frame house is only an option if the climate allows. In some regions, timber-frame houses are built, and it's an excellent material.

Tanya Chamkaeva The website is about timber frame, one of the most popular. More precisely, frame houses

Gulya Yeah, I think so too and I'm leaning towards foam blocks

Tanya Chamkaeva Oh, so it's not a log house then. Frame houses are more expensive

Tanya Chamkaeva Even for a frame house, this is cheap, wood is so expensive right now. That's one thing. Another thing is that they use low-quality wood for framing… Good wood is like gold, and for this price, you get trash. Build with foam blocks instead. Frame houses aren't for our climate zone; they all came from the West, where the climate is suitable and it's the most popular option. You'll have to replace the insulation, the house will settle so much it'll be crooked, it'll creak. It'll be great the first year, of course. I wouldn't even consider this option for a dacha. I did a lot of research when we wanted to build a house. Check out the 'Stroykhlam' channel on YouTube, at least to get an idea of what you're about to buy, read reviews about the company, and check if they have any lawsuits. People who own frame houses won't say anything bad about them; nobody will badmouth their own swamp. But buying a frame house is pure stupidity! To build a good frame house with quality, seasoned, dried wood, following all the steps, you wouldn't even have 15 million for it… Think for yourself, of course.
