While not at home survive during construction

It happens that people liked to buy land, sell apartments, cars and invest all the funds in the ground. Money on something, to build a house, do not remain or is only enough for the construction of the foundation. Figuring out what to do in this case, and most importantly - where to live during construction.

Preliminary site preparation for construction

Before we move to the area, it is necessary to bring it into proper form, namely:

• Mow the grass;
• Uproot shrubs;
• Remove boulders;
• Align.

If not immediately, then later, when the area will be built even a small construction, they complicate the movement of the tractor or a bulldozer.

Vladimir Tarasov Architect ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN STUDIO "Alfaplan":

- When cleaning the space for development of residential homes are often the question arises: to leave trees on the site, or not - it depends on the quality of trees and from the overall architectural design in accordance with project.

If a small portion, or it is planned to arrange a sports ground, for trees may simply have no place.

So to cut down trees or not, it is decided individually - depending on the situation.

After clearing the site, if necessary, is performed bedding and alignment portion. Then settling ground for temporary housing.

Temporary house on the plot

One of the main objectives during the development of the site - preparation of temporary housing with basic amenities.

Here you can relax, cook food, shelter from the rain the night.

We'll have to build something: a temporary home, shed or bathhouse

Referring to the experience of our forefathers: the development of the site, they started with the construction of baths.

683162 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

- As long as I built a house with his family for three years lived in the house-bath. In my family 3 people and we are well placed on 30 square meters. meters. In the bathhouse, I gave the kitchen-living room, two bedrooms, bathroom and a veranda with table and sofas. We are three years have become so accustomed to our bathhouse, he did not even want to move out from under the roof of the bathhouse to the big house.

Advantages of the bath: it can wash, rest, she quickly built. Therefore, this construction is often used as temporary housing during the main construction.

How to build a temporary shelter from the block container

Zorus(Member FORUMHOUSE):

- I sold the apartment, most of the money spent on the purchase of land, and some invested in the construction of a temporary house, where you can live before the main building. After going through a few options, I settled on a block-containers. I bribed the ability to quickly transform them into a comfortable house. I chose a block container on the metal skeleton, with the walls of a wooden frame.

According to Zorus, despite the apparent adventurousness of such a venture, it has its advantages:

• No need to spend money to rent a rented apartment, and all the funds are invested in the construction of house;
• House assembled from block-containers, then you can sell it and recover some of the money spent on it;
• Living in the area, it is possible to fully control the team of workers and the entire course of construction;
• If at first to build their own small house, you can gain invaluable hands-on experience, which is sure to come in handy during the construction of a large house.

necessary communications

The second issue that requires urgent solution when moving to the site - an organization toilets, water and electricity summing.

Zorus:

- Without toilets, water and electricity supply can not be permanent.

If a site has not let down central power supply, you need to buy or lease a petrol or a diesel generator or to make arrangements with neighbors (if their areas are electrified) and pull timeline to yourself.

You should also think in advance than to heat the house in winter time.

There are several options - electricity (Zorus successfully wintered, infrared heating house converters), gas heater (necessary to periodically refuel gas cylinder), the oven-stove (wood needed).

Whatever had to be heated, the primary task - the additional insulation of temporary housing. If this is not done, the money spent on heating, will fly into the pipe, and care "in the winter" will be an extreme situation with unpredictable consequences.

If the organization of temporary toilet is usually not difficult, the water area may turn into a real problem. And in the area should be at least the process water: a permanent source of water is needed in many construction works (construction of foundations), and to run to the neighbors for water quickly get bored as you and them.

In most cases, the well is used as a source of water supply. But if the soil allows better Abyssinian score well - it is faster and cheaper than digging a well. Especially to score a hole can be on their own.

The next step is putting water into the house. And not necessarily just to think about the complex filtration system for drinking water. Drinking water can be bought in a store or recruited from street columns.

Whether to immediately enclose land

Question fence worries many novice developers. No consensus here. Part of the members of the forum said that the fence should be put, the other - what is not, because in the process of building his house can break the heavy construction equipment.

Sometimes you can hear the opinion that it is better to put a temporary fence of mesh netting, or knock him out of bad boards. Practice shows that it is better to do nothing temporary. Anyone, even the cheap stuff costs money, and the unit of the fence will have to spend time and effort.

Aib(Member FORUMHOUSE):

- For starters, you can even set the poles for the fence. The most important thing - it is to designate the border area and the presence of host it.

I advise you immediately think about the entrance to the site. Better do it at least 6 meters wide - the truck or tractor will travel or where to turn. But the gates to make the best of the simple materials of edged board - if their touches "KAMAZ" is not a pity!

According to FORUMHOUSE users a fence on the site must be done immediately for the following reasons:

• Clearly visible border area;
• No syndrome "thoroughfare";
• Most safety building materials;
• Neighbors will climb on your land to your fence, building materials and construction equipment;
• When defined borders changing attitude to the site as his owners, and foreign: it is clear that the land has an owner.

Offshore Container - your safe deposit box at the site

Thoughts on how to ensure the safety of tools and materials, care about most novice builders. Do not store them in the open field! You can drag expensive power tools in a temporary shelter, but all the same question with a concrete mixer, boards, bags of cement remains open.

Gameday recommend to look at the sea container. With a fairly small investment they can be turned into a real safe, which dacha pilferers will be too tough.

Kapik (Member FORUMHOUSE):

- The first thing I put on the site - a steel container. I keep in it all the valuables and tools. Last winter, all the temporary structures on the neighboring areas hacked, and my "safe" persevered. In the future it is planned to convert for temporary housing.

Lobz(Member FORUMHOUSE):

- I have a container placed almost everything. Excellent, indehiscent warehouse.

Sea containers so good, that are designed to operate in a very harsh environment, so - much to withstand. When buying better to choose is not very rusty - this will last much longer.

To turn the container in Fort Knox, it should be further strengthened: hang padlock, put the bolt-latch. And that could not take away the container in the absence of the owners, it is better to anchor at the pier foundation, pre-immured in the post metal pin.

glserega(Member FORUMHOUSE):

- I put a 20-foot (6-meter) container. 40ft - too big and does not fit in each area. Container store cement, rebar, electric powered tools, cement mixer, paint, etc. Soon I will start it electricity.

20 'container can be transported on KamAZe with extendable boom.

And if a container equipped with a ventilation system, then it can be stored and boards.

On the basis of a steel container you can do a workshop or temporary housing.

To do this, put the container on a columnar or a screw base, cut openings for doors and windows, extra insulated, conduct electricity and all necessary communications.

About what cantransform steel container, Detailed in this article.

instead refrigerator

Refrigerator included in the mandatory list of household appliances, which is necessary for permanent residence in the area. But there are cases, when the electricity is cut off in the private sector. This case is useful to have autonomous power supply system or generator. But if a refrigerator broke down, we have to figure out how to save a supply of food. Winter is not a problem - just put the food in a sealed container and put it outside the door, just to be sure priporoshit snow. But users of our site know what to do without a refrigerator, and in the summer heat.

Lada(Member FORUMHOUSE):

- If the area dug a well, we can put food in a sealed container and lowered to the water surface. Even in the heat of the products are well preserved.

It is also possible, on the adviceSemikaarrange in advance on the site Glacier.

Do it like this: dig a hole 2h2h2 meters, placed on top of the overlap of the slab, on slab lay the ground. Dig the entrance to the dug-out and arrange the door. Winter in the dugout trained in the snow.

Over time, he slozhivaetsya and ice forms. The ice block hollow niche, which is inserted into a wooden box with a lid.

Spring glacier close tightly insulated door, and the ice in the glacier is filled with sawdust. Small portions of ice with salt to ice began to melt (at ice melting temperature decreases). For a family of 4 people need a glacier volume of 8 cubic meters, with a reserve of ice in 600-800 kg.

Semik(Member FORUMHOUSE):

- Keep out of the glacier can be everything: meat, butter, sauerkraut. Even in the summer the ice melts, and the products are well preserved.

Another embodiment of "refrigerator" can be vertically dug into the ground a pipe with a closed end and the lid top. In the winter the pipe is opened, it gets snow, it is pressed, it turns the ice. Spring lid is closed. Dug deeper than the pipe, the colder it. Products are lowered on a rope, and if to dig tube flush with the ground, in the grass in the summer it will not be visible.

Also, as a material used for conventional refrigerator improvised foam 5cm in thickness. The sheets are cut to size, collected 30 cm wide box length - 40 cm, height - 30 cm. Cover, through which lay in a box products, customize as closely as possible to the walls. In the box is put previously frozen cold accumulators. Validating calculated that at a total volume of refrigerant in 1 liter of 1 kg of chilled meat (with initial temperature of +5 ° C) in a "cooler" retains its temperature for 48 hours.

Bredovedov(Member FORUMHOUSE):

- I calculated that the box of the foam thickness of 100 mm and with a side of 50 cm, the temperature difference between inside and outside the box 30 ° C (-5 Inside ° C and +25 ° C - outside) and the presence in the drawer of 1 kg of ice, due to its melting, holding this temperature difference of about 45-50 hours. A three kilograms of ice will last for a week.
