Do-it-yourself country outbuildings
A private yard or summer cottage is not complete without buildings: not everything can and should be stored in the house, even if the space allows. It is much more practical to put a utility block in which all overly “smelling” materials, as well as the equipment that is necessary to care for the site, will be stored. In the same place, in the buildings on the site, you can arrange a workshop: it is calmer for you and for your home.
Country buildings are a separate topic. Often they have to be made collapsible - so that during the winter absence they would not be "attached" to their legs. But you can't do without a shed or a wood-log in case of cold weather. In the sheds, inventory is folded, and firewood is needed for comfort in the spring-autumn period, when there is still little sunlight, and summer cottage work is already in full swing.
Outbuildings can even be a decoration of the site. This is if you approach them seriously and businesslike. Not much effort and money will be required to make the same shed or woodshed attractive, and not just practical. And let everyone have their own beauty. The main thing is that the contemplation of the self-created structure should bring you satisfaction.
Another plus of outbuildings is that they can be used to work out the technology before building a more serious structure. For example, you liked the technology, but you need a utility block. You practice your skills and building nodes on this "training" project, and then you can tackle something more substantial.
