Involves the construction of a guest house residence in size 6x5 m. It turned out a little more.

As foundation - homemade concrete blocks that collect rail, hereinafter overlap insulated.

the facade of the Transfiguration

In the process of reconstruction it revealed that the cabins do not need cosmetic repairs and the annexe, but total reconstruction. It completely dismantled and reassembled. To be able to raise the level of the roof added, changing the angle of inclination of the roof. Also partially changed mineral plate on polystyrene (PSB-C) in two layers - 100 mm and 50 mm. With insulation using appropriate protective membrane. Thus, in the bedroom formed just cabins, walls turned insulation thickness of 150 mm by 200 mm ceiling and the floor 300 mm (200 mm + 100 mm).

Very well at the same time it turned out to buy full-size doors and windows, which were to become the external loggia, but because of ill-conceived project and so it did not. Height - 2150 mm triple glazing, intended for heat preservation by cold weather. Due to this in his first winter has not quite gone cabins in a smart way.

Functional

KostXL once scheduled year-round and the possibility of a comfortable stay in the house, for which he needs the following functions:

• bedroom;
• kitchen with stove and sink;

• full bathroom - shower, sink, toilet.

To implement plans in life brought to the house:

• electricity (a switchboard and a separate metering device);
• water (cold);
• sewage (an overflow tank).

Water is drawn from a large house to a depth of 1.4 m - metal pipes in a heater (box of PPP), on entering into the house of a two-layer box.

To power through the shield connected:

• storage water heating boiler for hot water up to 80 liters;
• electric boiler with a capacity of 2.5 kw;
• refrigerator;
• lighting.

Bathroom, leather lining, like the rest of the house, located on the right side and is staffed according to plan - the purchase shower gated CD (toilet and cistern), wash basin with pedestal. All of the budget segment, acquired in a known hypermarket.

Heating system implemented classic - wall boiler, a pump layout of PP pipes, three different power radiator, mix with coolant.

While all communications and plumbing cheapest segment Ports typical slab house for huts craftsman did not want the kitchen decided not to save. Built-in panel has acquired four hobs (glass ceramic).

As a result of the renovations turned all-season residential unit about 5 × 6 m, with private facilities, with a budget of about 150 thousand rubles in prices last year.

As for the operation, then from the summer heat, making his way to the kitchen and the bathroom, save the blinds, and the room warm in winter, not only batteries, but also the sun. The bedroom two windows (600 × 600 mm) provide enough light coolness in the summer and warmth in the winter is maintained by thermal insulation.

This winter presented a surprise in the form of 47⁰S frost, it lasted about four hours, but did mischief. The heating system in the house worked on maintaining (+ 4-8⁰S) and so lutes not handled, although -35⁰S everything worked normally. The loss of the list was the toilet and faucet budget, but there is no silver lining - a cheap, outdated faucet changed to date. Since the water, despite the insulation, too, "rose", the summer box douteplili and "avoid" added to the route the heating cable. Fortunately, in the house did not suffer serious equipment and large financial injections are not needed.

We get the original of Default and functional guest house with a relatively modest budget, his idea can be useful in situations where the standard cabins are not attracted to the visual or contents. In any case, he is happy with his construction.

Details - Topic author, Another transformation cabins, though not as dramatically, but also worthy - article "As of old cabins make a stylish mini-house". In the video - another mini house on the basis of conventional cabins.
