A place to relax. Here's a small house we have built with their own hands

After the construction of the bath we had a place to spend the night and rest. They say, now we have been, where to lay his head. It was possible to do the construction of the main house. We pre-planned material, number of floors, layout. And work has begun to boil. Here is the house in which we rest today.

The foundation we already had, however, very inferior, stood for several years under the snow rains and winds.

After the survey, we decided to fill in around it with an additional layer of concrete armouring. The old owners had planned in the house basement, as we did not need it. After work to strengthen the old foundation were carried out, we made a backfill sand inside the foundation. Each layer of sand we shed water and ramming vibratory plates.

After performing the backfill, the husband made a brick formwork, put waterproofing, made reinforcement, and we poured concrete slab.

size of the foundation, we get almost square - 6.4 * 7.4 m In fact, for a small cottage of the house is enough.. Wall, we decided early on to put out aerocrete, size 30 * 60 * 20 cm.

Intermediate floor slab pour did not. Laying nets filled and blocked boards 50 * 150 mm. Boards were placed on edge, the distance between the boards 0,5 m. Under roughing ceiling hem vapor barrier.

Rafters on the roof, we also from the board-fifty. Roof - metal profile, brick-colored. Under the metal sheets made waterproofing kontrobreshetku.

The second floor, we decided not to do, we have planned a small room with a bathroom in the attic. Entrance to the attic floor we made separate - from the streets in order to save space in the house. And guests will be more comfortable to sleep if it is to walk through the house is not necessary. Staircase to the second floor and the area in front of the husband did himself, like everything else.

At first we thought to make an entrance into the house from the street. We decided that the vestibule in the country will not be needed. But, judging sensibly, rejected this idea. Heating our stove and the cold air from the street, we will not add to the comfort. Therefore, the foundation was poured, and walls are made simultaneously with the cold vestibule in front of the house. Front porch husband made semicircular. porch shape and manufacturing technology we have seen with friends. This marks the entrance porch, but beyond that it is very convenient - at the entrance on either side do not come across the corners. Above the entrance to the husband secured the lamp with motion sensor light is now switched on and off is not necessary.

Here's a small house we have built with their own hands. When the house was finished, my husband and I were more likely to remain in the country to enjoy the tranquility and fresh air of the countryside.
