The birth of a new house 6 to 8 m., For 1 million rubles

The story about the construction of his house to share with us our reader from Nizhny Novgorod.

In 1969, the company has provided my parents land in the gardening association of 20 km from Nizhny Novgorod on the banks of a beautiful river forest Linda. That summer was purchased and installed precast standard two-storey wooden house size 4x4 m. Later, was attached to the house terrace and kitchen, next to plant fruit-bearing trees and shrubs, and garden became a favorite place for family vacation for many years.

A necessary condition to decide on the construction of something new - can not exist in the old

It took 50 years. Old house began to take their positions clearly: an inconvenient layout, a small kitchen, the stove heats only one room was the leaking roof, the walls - dirty faded wallpaper. So we decided to build a new house.

Question - how to do it. 5.5 acres is not particularly razverneshsya. Maybe first build annexe? But then you have to dock the old and new parts of the house. Better, of course, to build a new home immediately. But what to do with all the stuff?

And then we decided to do so: for the summer holidays are building a new barn size 2h4h3 m and the same room for the new bath. To carry over all the things from the house. Then we find builders and autumn are building a new home.

Dima builder found a very fast, he has just finished repairing a nearby garden. We agreed that at the beginning of September we fully liberate the house, and all the work Dima will do on their own. At all stages of the construction of Dima had different companions. he worked alone often.

By September 1, 2018 we had a completely empty old house to overflowing clogged household goods shed and a sauna.

The birth of a new home

Dima said that he wants from us a clear plan for the house and complete picture of what used building materials. He advised us, while there is an opportunity to think, to look on the internet to choose any kind of unusual home. We stopped at the half-timbered style (or something like half-timbered) - the house, covered with white siding, with dark brown roof and vertical and horizontal dark brown trims.

The plan was created a new home is difficult. I watched a lot of standard layouts, offers a variety of construction Nizhny Novgorod firms, but it was not that, either closely or inconvenient, unnecessary or balcony, or too small veranda. I formulated for myself the basic thoughts on the new home:

- house, like the former, is a two-story. On the ground floor is our husband, a bedroom and a large common area for dining room, living room and kitchen. Our children are grown, so on the second floor there are two separate rooms - son and daughter;

- I do not need a very large house. Place in the new house should be enough for everyone, but if someone from the children will work closely, then build a separate cottage - is their problem. As a result, we stopped on the size of the house 8x6 m;
- the roof of doing triangle, ie, symmetrical gable to save material. The convenience of staying on the second floor of the triangular shape of the roof has no effect. Height to the ridge of 5.5 meters;
- on the part of the site do a large veranda size 2,5h4 meters to go it was possible to put a dining table and benches on the sides;
- on the first floor plan to the room for the toilet and washbasins size 2x1.5 m. organize the water supply to the house, i.e. install the pump and make the water drain - a serious problem but its solution brings tremendous convenience. We will deal with this in the future.

Major decisions on the layout of the house determined.
The next stage - to choose the materials for the various elements of construction:

•  foundation of the house - 19 concrete pillars, buried below the depth of soil freezing;
•  frame house made of 100h50mm board;
•  the walls are covered with the outside of the plate OSB3;
•  It is used as a heater 100-mm rock wool;
•  inside walls are covered with clapboard;
•  floor, ceiling and roof are insulated with 150 mm of rock wool;
•  only two floors has seven plastic windows of various sizes;
•  outside the house lined with vinyl siding of white color;
•  cap is made of a dark brown under the brick siding;
•  roof covered brown dyeing floorings;
•  on the ground floor of the floor is covered 33rd class laminate;
•  in the center of the first floor convector type furnace is prolonged combustion;
•  chimney insulation, sandwich.

Money for the construction of Dima took gradually, explaining what stage of the work he intends to do and how much it costs. Deadlines had to move a little bit, but it was irrelevant to us because autumn in the garden to do nothing. Finally, the house was built by December 1. In general, the new cottage cost $ 1 million rubles. For this amount of work performed:

• Old building demolished
• exported construction waste
• built a house

• made veranda

• carried out the ceiling and wall painting

• an oven and assembled chimney

• done blind area around the perimeter of the house

 December 1 Dima solemnly handed us the keys to a new garden, and the summer vacation in 2019 we carried out as usual in the garden, but in the new house.
By the way, the summer finally added two bath. Of course, the rescue was called Dima.
