When money is short, and live in your home you want, you go to any tricks. For example, to erect the house gradually, as the receipt of funds for the construction. Traditionally, in this case, is being built complete "box" and held "inzhenerki" and finishing postponed for later.

Otherwise enrolled participant portal Anton Nugis (nick on FORUMHOUSE Brodyaga). He first built a one-storey house and garage, and then decided to build on the building on the second floor, where, under the roof is completely finished. How he did it, in today's material:

The construction of the second floor under the roof finished

Before we describe this epic, the background of the project. So, Anton Nugis bought land on the outskirts of Novorossiysk on the steep slopes of the picturesque. He wants to build a two-storey house on it. User Portal works in shifts. Money to spare, t. To. The need to repay the loan. After counting it turned out that the funds are sufficient only for a house in one floor. Anton built it. Then:

• ennobled site
• Filled breastwalls
• I spent in the house of communication and mains gas
• I dug a septic tank
• Made interior trim

And that's what happened.

And this house at the moment.

Specifications of a house.

As they say, feel the difference. By the way, the user's topic was the winner of the week in the ranking of "Top Themes".

Now peredaom word the author of the project.

Brodyaga

I built a house on their own, almost without helpers. It is spread over 5 years, but there was no alternative. It had debts on loans. After a one-story house, I erected a garage. Above it has built the second floor. Poured from the top plate. The result terrace, balcony area of ​​55 sq. m. The house is immediately lost in the background of the garage. I decided it was time to build the second floor and to increase living space.

The rise of the roof with the help of a jack

As a user was able to build a lightweight aggregate concrete blocks of high-grade floor under the roof, covered with shingles?

Raise the roof a little bit. To erect a series of walls. Raise the roof again, until you reach the estimated height of the second floor.

Reconstruction of the house was divided into stages:

• Anton maximum force and strengthened the "cold attic."

Rafters made from board 150h50 mm. These boards can be raised alone.

• I took bottle jack type, with a force of 20 tons.

According to the user said, lifting the roof would be enough, and ten-jack.

Brodyaga

Overlap the second floor of the house I made of boards section 200x50 mm. I fastened them to the board jacking, to distribute the load. First, under the jack is enclosed by two lightweight aggregate concrete block. It seemed unreliable. Became balk jack 4 block. Between the blocks put the pads - dyuymovka cutting board to compensate for distortions when lifting the roof.

• Anton raised the roof in a circle, 30 cm, gradually enclosing the board. First, 2.5 cm thick, and then 5 cm. Roof was based on 10 points.

It took 4:00.

• Then Anton, together with the neighbor and other lecturing row of blocks. House grew like a mushroom, step by step, day by day.

For lifting building materials used Anton ramp, made of planks and hoist.

There was the entrance to the balcony.

At this stage, the weather presented a "gift", which almost led to an accident.

As the wind almost blew the roof

Brodyaga

In Novorossiysk blow windstorms. I raised the roof in April. During this period of strong winds should not be. But when we raised the roof by 5 rows of blocks, the forecast issued by the wind force of up to 25 m / s. I stopped the construction. We lowered the roof on the blocks. Emancipate its telescopic struts. Recorded. The wind blew week. In one of the strongest gusts, the roof has moved down to 15 cm. She cranked around one support. I further strengthened the roof all that is. When the wind died down, we continued the reconstruction of the house. Roof leveled and continued masonry blocks.

The height of the second floor -. 2.8 m roof raised to 3 m.

At the finish the work the user has filled Laying nets. I dropped on him a roof and pulled her hairpins. Further, Anton insulated and finished house technology "wet facade" of the foam thickness of 10 cm.

And this is the view from the terrace of the house.

Nuances of home remodeling and lifting roof

Subject Anton sparked increased interest in the portal. It rained questions FORUMHOUSE participants. Consider the most popular ones:

1. You did not think immediately raise the roof by crane to the desired height, and put it on the 10 time points?

Brodyaga

Immediately raise the roof at a great height was dangerous. The higher I raised the roof, the more it staggered. The emphasis in the wall reliably. Crane thought about. But close to home, he could not drive. The plot is in the form of the letter "L". And at Maximum Reach, he would not have picked up the finished roof.

2.Why did not you build karkasnik or house of aerated concrete?

Brodyaga

I'm near the sea. The climate is very humid. Blow a hurricane wind. Earthquake-prone zone. Thought of lightweight aggregate concrete block house will be safer.

 3. Why did not you build a house with two floors? Why suffer so with the rise of the roof jack?

Brodyaga

If I'd had the money at once on the entire volume of work, it would build a two-storey house. If you live for one and a half thousand kilometers from the site, you need to have a place where you can stay overnight. First put the shed. Then he built a house in one floor. I registered it. Connected electricity and gas. Is trimmed inside. Already have a place to live with all amenities. According to my calculations, it is much cheaper to build the house itself gradually than to get into a great credit and hire workers. And if I were to save money immediately on all construction, it would never have erected the house.

To build the house it took 1.2 million rubles.
