This year, the true dream

In February this year come true dream - the construction of the bath. We moved from the Altai to Sebastopol in 2015, the next year bought land and built a house. And in 2018 we were able to afford the luxury bath. We, Siberians, simply can not do without a bath! In the Altai, many first begin construction of a bath, and then to the house. Some of them remain to live in the bath until the house is built.

Material and performers

The bath was considered only from the timber, no frame options or other advanced technologies. Like ordinary Russian bath!

As an artist were invited carpenters from Barnaul, because the Crimean builders practically do not work with a material such as wood and find good masters, and even more still to build a sauna, it was nearly impossible and dangerous, or if that qualitatively, a very large money. Carpenters brought jute tape, which was used as mezhventsovogo insulation for the timber. Yes, because it is impossible to buy in the Crimea, as I have already said, the beam virtually no Peninsula use, and for the reason that he is also a very expensive material, the cost per cubic meter is twice more expensive than the mainland. Used timber 100 * 100. Roofing soft roof "Shinglas Jazz" (the color of Terra), because on the roof of the same coating like to have everything in one color.

optimal size

We ourselves have drawn bath construction plan. Foreman helped to take into account all the important points about the total area of ​​the bath:

* Land area, the location of the house and the fence, and, importantly fence neighbors
* Combine or split washer and steam room
* What will be the furnace and boiler
* Number of visitors simultaneously
* The presence or absence of the terrace to the bath

Given the land area (4.6 acres) bathhouse assumed small dimensions. A family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children). Larger companies and promenades in the bath did not consider, therefore, steam room is comfortable to use at the same time 2 to 3 people maximum. Car wash (soap) is not considered, since rostvenikov room with washing did not like it, we are accustomed to endure the temperature and wash in a very steamy. Many people like the washing and panuyu separately to do, but in this version: the dressing room and steam room only. According to the materials cost, one sink.

But in the bath-house there is a small terrace with a covered roof in summer, you can go to relax and freshen up after a steam room. The dimensions of the bath-house with a terrace 3.5 * 4.

The foundation and plums

Bath stands on strip foundations, adjoining terrace on water towers. As ventilation made in the foundation vents, the air holes in the three sides, ie, three holes. When starting to heat the bath, the vents are closed, so that the heat did not go away, and be sure to open after the bath procedures to air and moisture is gone.

Draining into operation at the beginning of the bath seemed to us the quality, but then I noticed that the water on the floor, "should", and this means that the wrong done bias. Predetsya open floors redone. Cesspool small, about 5 rings of tires. The builders said they no longer need the water itself will leave. We take a bath at least a year, but quite often, and while in the door and did not look.

baths with their hands painting

Builders, to finish all the work, we went to his home severely punished nastrogo that the dye bath until you can not, the tree should be dry. It just so happened that there was room we without painting for about six months.

In order to save themselves painted. The same materials as the facade of the house (the house we trimmed with imitation beams).

Before painting beam treated layer in a transparent primer antiseptic treatment of wood for the outer "Valtti Primer" firm "Tikkurila". It is necessary to make sure to protect the wood from mold and fungi, for this in the ground used flax oil.

And only then struck the facade blue "Valtti Color" of the same brand, as well as the soil, too, oil-based. Zakolerovali in two contrasting colors, the same colors used on the facade of the house. This blue for outdoor works just protects the surface from sunlight that can make one the ground. I liked how the material lies with the brand on a tree, the tree structure can be seen, in this case looks coating perfect, the surface becomes smooth after painting, and color, as they say, pleases eye! Was applied in two layers. I hope that the coating will last for a long time! At the very bank is written life of the coating 5 years. Wait and see!
