I myself! Construction female hands.

Stop a galloping horse and the house from scratch vozvedot! So it is possible to paraphrase the words of the famous Russian poet, when it comes to member of our portal. Wearer FORUMHOUSE any business on the shoulder. Starting from the full-scale construction, almost "a helmet", stone or frame house to manufacturing comfortable and functional furniture.

On the eve of the wonderful spring holiday we have collected a selection of exciting stories, which we believe will inspire all the developers in the fruitful work in the new construction season.

female-century building

So titled blog portal member with the nickname Elka87. Girl, detail and humor tells about all the twists and turns that have occurred during the construction of aerated concrete houses, which she raises her hands.

Elka87 (Participant FORUMHOUSE):

I am building a house for his family, but especially for the mother, who all his life dreamed of a garden and a private room. This gives me the strength and the desire to bring it started to end.

Despite the fact that many believe that the construction of a large stone house - it is not for women, knowledge Elki87 on the construction obtained in the study of the portal, the envy of many experienced foremen.

As usual, it all started with the dream of his own house. Then followed a difficult stage (which lasted for 2 years) selecting portion. Finally quest to succeed. Plot 15 "acres" - the former collective farm field overgrown with pines, which is called - sunk into the soul. The wearer did not stop even the fact that the area has no electricity. What for? After all, there is a generator! So Elka87 I learned how to change the oil and candles, and even to drag the unit into a car for transportation.

The next phase - installation of the fence and the decision on what to do with the drainage trench, dug out the side plot. If the fence length of 180 m (Calculated) turned out to be more profitable to order the "company" you do yourself, the ditches have become a real obstacle. The machine does not deliver, mixers, concrete and heavy-not pass.

Elka87:

In the end, I spat on his hands, and we, along with his father, on a cord stretched along the fence chose the ground for the installation of the receiving tray.

Calculating how many trays needed (each weighing about 320 kg) of the wearer, met with KamAz manipulator, learned to put them on the edge of a hoist, turn to the desired position, and then attach the lock the castle. On all it took 3:00.

The next stage - equipping entrance to the site. Calculating the load via mother wearer decided to put in the ditch, the prepared sand base, AC pipe diameter of 30 cm. More then poured on top 20 cm of sand and laid road plates, calculated on 30-ton load.

Elka87:

Homemade wooden tamper, birch trunk, I called "Pinocchio". He rammed everything on the conscience. The necessary biases repulsed gidrourovnya and optical levels. Then still flooded the cutoff to the sand not rained in the output tray.

The entrance to the station, as they say, was a success. Dug a little deeper, it was possible to take a thinner pipe. For 2 years of construction on the site drove more than 10 mixers with concrete, trucks with sand and gravel, as well as countless number of "Gazelle" and "Bychkov." Entry is not "floated" and the tube is not crushed.

So, the site is fenced, entry equipped, it's time to build a house. But before proceeding to this crucial stage, the wearer has decided to explore building forum, building codes and formulas. Then set a goal - like being at the hands of 300 thousand. rubles, the desire and the project to build the foundation for a large house of aerated concrete with a ground floor.

Before we describe the main stages of the zero cycle, we give a few tips for beginners from developers Elka87.

• It is necessary to rely only on themselves, rather than sit and wait for someone else to do the work for you. Therefore it is not lazy, studying the building codes, we gather and consider the load. If something is not clear, ask the specialists. According to the wearer, a great help in the design of the house she had professionals with FORUMHOUSE.
• Do not go on about the "professional" builders, with their age-old principle of "everything is built, and still nothing has collapsed." It gives priority to the design of the house and the geology of the site. Remember the saying that the attempt to undue savings (on high-quality building materials) and the derogation from the right technology lead to one - marriage and subsequent costly alterations.

Elka87:

House project designer should do, rather than an architect. Paint the house can be independently, but everything correctly calculated can only be a specialist. We, together with his mother, his head left in the strength of materials. Collected and counted load draws at home nodes, then consult a professional. The point is not easy. Looking back now, I'd have ordered a complete calculation, but then there was nobody to tell. Overcome all difficulties helped my obstinacy and desire to make everything right.

As a result, constructive foundation aerated concrete homes following: monolithic basement, burying in the ground - 1200 mm, below freezing. Soil - 40 cm plodorodka, etc. - 30 cm fine sand, then coarse. The ground water level of 1800 mm. The scale and complexity of the upcoming construction of the following pictures speak eloquently drawings.

Moreover, most of the construction works Elka87 I decided to perform on their own or together with his father and hired workers to attract only the most complex and severe stages, requiring the participation of several people.

Zero cycle - Milestones

In this article it is impossible to tell about all the nuances of construction started a Elka87. Therefore, we describe only the key points and difficulties encountered in the construction of the house.

Elka87:

Digging the pit buried under the foundation - a very important stage. Just wanted to thank the user with the nickname FORUMHOUSE Chichik for the theme "The pit under the cap. Written excavator. " Invaluable advice, would recommend. Thanks to this thread, I learned about the rate of loosening the soil in its recess. Pro cone collapse, about the need to remove the loosened soil from the bottom of the pit, as well as about the code signals to communicate with the excavator. After all, when an excavator digs, dokrichatsya working hard, and any Perekop soil is undesirable. I, for example, standing with a mark-up bar, yardstick and checking the depth of excavation, excavator whistled.

Despite all precautions, not without problems. worth Elka87 weaken the control and turn - a drink of water, as an excavator bucket famously Deepen in the corner of the pit on the extra 60 cm and dug up the primer.

This Perekop more will be felt at the bottom of the excavation compacting. After paying for the work of 24 thousand. rub., the user's desktop and let go, eat, go to sleep in a tent on the site to the next day to start a new work.

Dimensions excavated pit - 11h13 It is almost 150 m ground cubes.. An important point: just say the excavator that plodorodku and sand need to pass the buck to different pile, and not interfere with, and specify the location where you want to store the soil. When digging the pit does not reach the estimated mark of 8-10 cm, because buckets have teeth, and that they "nagryzli" have to dub. If you dig up the estimated mark, then removing the loosened soil, we eventually uydom below the required level.

The next day after the digging of the pit came Assistant - each Ely with leveling. Steel check point and found that swings up to half a meter. Put down the label, the builders set to the alignment of the excavation. After three hours waving a shovel and a wheelbarrow to transport sand wearer and her assistant have decided that the upcoming scope of work requires outside help.

Ale hired two "experts" who have started to work as a digging potatoes. After explaining to the workers that it is not necessary to dig deeper and require alignment, Elka87 I asked the diggers as they are going to determine the required level of the bottom of the pit. After all, it remains to be dumping gravel footing, and elevation in an area of ​​100 square meters. m should not exceed 3 cm.

Ale to your question got familiar to many developers reply: "And we dig on the level of the forest. Very sharp eye". The proposal to use the measuring tool - Optical level with bar, led the workers in a state of stupor. It turned out that they do not know what it is and why we need leveling. Realizing that the curse is meaningless, since El zareklas recourse to such "experts". After finishing the alignment of the pit with the help of his father, the wearer has begun the next stage - dumping and compaction of sand.

Elka87:

When you sleep in the area after a busy day in the tent in a sleeping bag, a feeling that's just lay down, I closed my eyes, and the morning was now come. But you have to get up and keep working. I ordered a 6 cubic meters of sand, leased tamper pre-calculate the necessary force strike me, and started ramming.

At this stage itself reminded pit, excavating badly excavated. In it all the time there was water, and he did not zatrambovyvalsya. Sand resembled goo or swamp. Here stubbornness helped Eli, and all failed. Also we give her advice on the correct compacting sand.

• Ramming wetted, but not drenched with water sand layers. The optimal layer thickness - 10 cm.
• Layers do so - first, one layer ramming along, then he is ramming across, and only after that you can pour and level next to the layers laid down uniformly.
• Quality tamping define so - if a hard-packed sand was a man, the traces of the legs must be practically visible. If the sand drove a car - the trail left by the tires - a couple of millimeters. Similarly, if the drop on the sand flat brick with a shoulder height.

On compacting sand Eli took more than 2 weeks since passing the wearer to wet the sand, dug their own water well on site.

Elka87:

You can, of course, well ordered in the "company", but my father and decided to dig themselves Juric. First went to a neighbor and found out how many rings it well. It was found that for five. Water - two rings. I took the ring with a diameter of 1 meter with a lock. First dug a pit father with a diameter of 1.5 m and a depth on top of me, reached the water. We put on DSP three rings, and then I climbed inside and began to dig.

The work was so - El digging shovel inside, and his father and Juric took soil into buckets. Water is pumped from a pump pit. Selecting from the middle of the ground, the wearer dig around the perimeter of the ring. As a result, they squander down. Then the cycle is repeated until the ring does not gone beyond a predetermined depth.

According to Eli, I had to dig a well, standing in the water in rubber boots, wearing wool socks on - cold. When the ring (3 tons) went down with a loud crunch for the first time, a second Ale flew out of the well, but then I got used. Although admits that dig hard. We had to fill buckets with soil, and then the men lifted them up, and the process was repeated.

Cope with these cases, Elia launched a geotextile lining the bottom of the excavation and subsequent dumping and compacting the gravel.

A total of dumping took 15 cubic meters of granite gravel fractions 5-20. Showered 90 sq. m.

The wearer has done this with his father for a week, taking in rent compactors, which broke at the end of work.

Further work went one after the other. We list the most critical of them. This is - filling footing and receive the first mixer with the concrete.

Laying fusing waterproofing.

 Installation of formwork, which had to completely rebuild, after it broke up the local boys.

Reinforcement of the foundation slab and filling it with concrete.

Tying reinforcement and construction of formwork for monolithic walls of the ground floor and a further concreting.

And all this - with the highest quality and thoroughness of execution in minute detail, worthy of professional builders. Although Ele was helping his father and three assistant fittings, which called for the installation of the formwork and concreting of base boards, throughout the observed principle: "I do it myself!".

At the moment, with the epic construction of the house of aerated concrete continues. Withdrawn walls of the first floor and bathed in a monolithic ceiling.

There is a second floor wall masonry and brick internal partitions.

Although yet to make a great deal, already outlines of the future house.

The photo below demonstrates what can get the girl, if set a goal.

Karkasnik two female hands

If the volume of work performed on their own Eli is simply amazing, and repeat that the strength is not all that way to the construction of a frame house proposed participant portal - Elena Mit'kin (zerok nick) more available.

The main thing for women builders - to choose a feasible technology.

zerok (wearer FORUMHOUSE):

The idea to build a frame house technology, which explain below, I peeked at the TV in one of the scenes, which tells about the construction of the house of the block modules. The method I liked, and I thought that this technology is not just for me, because a woman does not have the physical strength, like a man.

The technology - first gather in small blocks - frame modules in the form of a wall that can be raised and set the women's hands. Wall is assembled from several such modules that are fastened together with screws. As a result, we have a rigid frame construction.

Elena began with construction of the foundation. Knocked out of the formwork boards. zerok advises the board under formwork to buy from a business - quality wood, which can then be reuse (at accurate disassembly formwork boards and protection of concrete polyethylene film).

zerok:

Many people buy cheap stuff on the formwork, based on the principle: "not throw a pity." I did the opposite, I bought a good board, and then use them again - for the construction of partition walls inside the house.

Another tip from Elena. Because knit reinforcement at the time of construction of the house, she still did not know how, and weld reinforcement cage is not recommended (In places of welding fittings weakened, so if and cook fitting, only specifically for this intended). Zerok to fix rebar used ordinary plastic collars - ties.

Way justified for relatively small volumes of construction. Because when will the construction of a large basement, which will take several thousand ties, cheaper rebar tie wire knitting.

Reinforcing cage collected from inside to outside. In this case, you will have less drag "iron". Those. collecting first inner wall, and then external. Piping foundation made of timber 200x150 mm. On the joists went bar 100x150 mm. Then the plywood mounted the platform on which you can already walk, while going to the wall.

The photo below shows how were going to frame block modules.

Wall is assembled from several sections. Advice from Elena: pre-count sizes of blocks and make them multiples of the timber and the casing of plate.

For example, the length of standard boards - 6 m, mean height of the wall - 3 m, i.e., board, sawn in half. block width is set plywood dimensions. In this embodiment - 1200 mm. Those. one full sheet of plywood + quarter. So we minimize material and cut waste.

zerok:

I expected everything in advance on paper to put in one wall of the maximum of the standard material. Wall was going well - to raise a few ready-made blocks, stacked on the floor, called a neighbor. Wall put together. The unit is supplied to the binding edge of the module is screwed onto the side board, so that when the rise "rectangle" fell out. Board then rested against the earth, and put blocks tied up with screws.

The walls of the second floor was easier to do. It affects their lower height - 1200 mm. Plywood, respectively, laid horizontally. Wall height of 1.2 m raised already collected entirely without dividing it into blocks.

To the wall of the second floor from falling when climbing outwards vertically to the facade "prishurupili" 6-meter board.

According to Elena, the main instrument on a construction site turned out screwdriver, and still need miter circular saw.

Here are a few recommendations from zerok for novice developers.

• Construction should be manufacturable. Minimize all unnecessary processes. First napilivaem all the necessary details, and then pick the design, and then install it. This will avoid unnecessary running around here and there, resulting in a loss of time. Ie, completed only one process and then pass away to the next.
• Use the material that you are able to raise their own (this is especially true for women).
• To simplify the assembly and lifting the material feel free to use a variety of accessories - ties, hoists, wire ropes. For example, the frame unit can be contracted and binders, fixing board permanently fasten them with screws.

zerok:

I dragged upstairs plywood as follows: at an angle of 45 degrees to the wall, put the two boards - the guides. The result was a ramp on which the material lifted by cables to the roof. It is much simpler and easier than trying to pick up the plywood, tyagaya it along the vertical walls.

At the end of the material - from FORUMHOUSE farewell to all the women who wanted to build their own house: the main thing - to find the right approach, and all you get!
