Hi!
I'm from Russia (I hope you will not have problems because of this ). I am engaged in repair of a small old country house - in Russian "Dacha". I have not done this before, and I have no experience of such work. My main job is the repair and maintenance of computers.
So it looks like "Dacha":

Finished work at home:
- replacement of decayed lower wooden beams, the floor is laid on them.
- to strengthen the bearing structure of the house there are two steel channels 20 feet long each
- insulated floor with mineral wool 6 inches thick
- insulated the walls of the house with mineral wool 4 inches thick
- water supply to the house, washing with a tap and washing machine
