Are woodhouses like pic related livable in the winter?
It would cost the same for me to build one of these + buy big ass plot as buying a built commieblock thats boring but reliable and sturdy
Is there any way to make these houses winterproof?
I was thinking about not having any gas in the house what so ever, everything running of electricity so infra heaters and stuff.
Anybody has any experience living in one of these?

lmao, confirmed for being some onions bugman that's never lived in a country/state with hard winters.
You will freeze to death the second your powerline freezes and the state tells you it will take a month to fix because you live in the boonies. If you build a cabin like this in a winterous environment without a wood/gas you are going to be fucked.
im not planing to live in siberia
its hungary and next to balaton where I inherited land
the house where my mother and father live now has no gas and they use these infra heaters and they are fine, for backup they have a big log furnace in one of the rooms but thats it
I just checked online and it looks like you guys only get pussy winters where you hit ~-3 max so I guess you're probably fine. I don't know shit about that area though, if it's at any risk of hitting -20+ or massive snow storms I'd at least have an emergency stock of gas heaters/ emergency blankets in case you get fucked by snow one season.
I had a winter that hit -25 where my heating went off for ~10 days and even in an insulated American house I was nearly freezing my dick off and had to wrap up in a shit ton of clothes.
Good luck on your cabin building user.
thanks user
-25 where is that?
montana or something?
build a Russian stove house
Wood itself is pretty good insulation, the problem is more in the gaps between logs. Obviously, with modern construction, that's less of an issue. But definitely have a wood-burning stove for backup. In fact, you should use wood as your primary - research "rocket stoves", which burn wood at very high temperatures and extremely efficiently. Electric heat is kind of inherently inefficient, and even a small fire + good insulation will reduce your electric demands significantly.
my grandma had one of these
incredibly comfy
these look pretty cool, are they safe to use indoor?
-20 is definitely possible in Hungary, although such temperatures don't last longer than 2 weeks max
yes its all about the chimney
Complete with free loli.
Siberia-user here. -40c in winter. Most houses are log-cabin style but some are like the ones in OP pic, but with double wall construction and insulation between. For log-style you can cut them flush like mine in pic on the right, or another insulation method in english is called "chinking", kek.
About electric, its true you can't depend on public utilities. Not just because they are Russian, but harsh weather does knock them out. So in my case I have electric + wood fireplace / stove (this ) + a generator, water lines + rain catch, septic tank + outhouse.
Anywhere near the Great Lakes in America will fuck your shit up.
Lake effect is a bitch

Thats a cool looking dog siberian-user.
btw is your sister of the cute looking gook/russian mixes?
if so please post pics.
This is the inside of the left house. Its more like a log cabin surrounded by another structure with the roof. My father-in-law threw this sand on the ceiling which I learned is actually how they used to insulate.
>living where there is a winter season
Ngmi
>not having seasons
I would kms

You should at least have a little propane heater and stove. They're not expensive, user.
Here you can see the thickness of the insulation (banya). Its about 10 inches.
I'm actually American. I did marry a mixed altai girl. I'm moving there to escape waging. You can live nicely off $10k per year, so just need $200k or so invested.
post wife feet pics
kek american houses are built like absolute shit
When you build a rocket stove for home heading purposes, you usually surround it with thermal mass (stone or concrete), run it hot until it gets to a certain temperature, and then let it go out. So it's only on a few hours a day.
based as fuck siberia-user and kek @ chinking, please post more comfy pics if possible
Not the heckin coldarino!
We're reaching levels of comfy that shouldn't even be possible.
I live in rural northern Minnesota power rarely goes out in the winter and it does it’s only for a night at the latest.
>amerifats don't know about insulation

It is pretty comfy. The plot of land is very fertile - cabbage, onions, tomato, literally everything grows. Neighbors have chickens. Last year they gave us 4 and I was eating eggs like gaston. In-laws have 2 cows that make unlimited dairy. Wild raspberries everywhere. The basics of life.
At the same time I can get unlimited 4G internet from MTS for like $6 per month.

heatpumps are efficient

jfc, west EU telecom is such a scam
How old were you when you moved to siberia?
Yea that's the funny thing with rural russia. You can see houses like these with no running water, but connected with 200 Mbps fiber internet.
Are they livable. Yes very
But if you have to ask then it doesn't mean YOU can survive.
