Why are greenhouses built in the Trans-Baikal village?

Teplyak in Transbaikalia is called a small house designed for household needs. Despite its small size, about twenty to thirty square meters in area, the building is capital, warm.

In the old days, the hothouse was built by a young family who decided to separate from their parents. While the main hut was being erected, the family lived in this small house. When the main house was put into operation, the hothouse took over the functions of a utility room. Until now, along with a bathhouse and other outbuildings, a rural house has such a room.

The teplag is built from logs or beams, separately from the rest of the house or attached to the house, under one roof, with a transition through a warm corridor - a canopy.

A brick oven is installed in the middle of the greenhouse.

The walls and stove are plastered. The window is usually one, small.

The furnishings of the greenhouse are simple, usually a table, chairs, a bed, a cupboard for storing dishes.

In the hothouse on the stove, feed for livestock is prepared all year round, bulky kitchen utensils, utensils for preparing feed are stored: cast iron, buckets, pots, and so on. During the autumn harvesting season, cabbage is fermented in the greenhouse. If a cow calves in winter, the newborn calf is kept in a greenhouse until spring. Chickens, goslings and other poultry are also nursed there. For good housewives, the hothouse also serves as a place for preparing and eating food, as a guest house. Thus, the main hut is kept clean and serves only for recreation.

Another, let's say, one specific purpose of the greenhouse. Often, for older married couples, the hothouse also becomes a place where in old age you can go to live from the annoying second half. At the same time, the spouses continue to run a joint household.
