How to put a box at home alone and not break? Although many predicted at least a ripped off my back.
"You build yourself, so you kill your health!" Such phrases often fly to me in the comments, but I continue π. And I am sure that it is not me that unique, it is just that you need to approach any business wisely.
Friends, hello everyone! A person from the outside will probably not really understand how you can build a house alone, while still having time to earn money for it, do other family matters, and not break down?
But you really begin to realize all the difficulties only when you yourself get down to business.
And fatigue is something you can't argue with.
- Various technical issues can always be solved.
- The financial issue also depends on you.
β But to find the strength in yourself, and the time to implement everything is not always possible.
Especially at workwhere a lot of physical labor is required.
πΆ Pouring the foundation. There were three of us: Mixer, me, and my wife... Accepted 15 cubes of concrete.
πΆ Wall masonry. I transferred 24 pallets with aerated concrete with my own hands. And raw blocks are not easy... (at the same time, without a ladder, I had to throw some of the blocks on top to lay the gables).
πΆ Rafter system and roof. No helpers or additional equipment.
And most importantly, in all work, the approach and common sense.
For example, who would think of moving a steel shed without a crane or other lifting equipment? But I wanted to.
Here's a video of how I did it. Only a hand winch to help...
And after all these adventures, there has never been anything like a "torn back" (ugh, ugh). Fatigue, muscle pain is normal, but everything goes away and goes away.
But the pleasure of the work done remains forever.
Interest in work to work is the main motivator, and the cure.
