Most had like a tiny shed for gardening tools. Nevertheless building a house on their dacha called just "building dacha" was the project for many Soviet and post-Soviet people.
So something like "строить дачу", building as a verb? My Russian is crude, but I try.
A friend of mine showed me the dacha her parents built. It's basically a picnic pavilion with a couple rooms. No heat or electricity, but it's where they hang out in good weather and eat shaschlik.
Yeah, exactly that.
I'm adopting this into my lexicon, both Russian and English.
It sounds like a fun time, and a healthy thing to talk to your neighbors about.
