Miser pays twice or how to save money on a wooden house

People throughout their lives make a choice, it concerns the whole of the choice of running shoes to the definition of property. So we live in Sochi, and the warm southern climate has pushed us to the choice of their own wooden house. We ordered a house in one of the construction companies (very attracted price), the house has turned on the 6x9 area of ​​5 acres, only 82 square meters, 2 floors, Glulam.

Of the benefits:

it is not expensive

it is always cozy and smells good tree

quickly erected

It retains heat and keeps cool

water and sanitation make easier than concrete

foundation cheaper

But we are faced with a huge number of disadvantages:

over time, the tree rassyhaetsya

its appearance should be handled each year

interior trim, too, need to think, paint on wood costs are much higher ordinary acrylic

the wiring in the house, too, need to do the maximum safe

insulate all floors account for twice as much, otherwise, it will grind

So, strictly speaking, the building process begins with the main thing - it's the foundation. Delivered and erected for 2 months, the first difficulty faced by it's his choice. In Sochi popular following types:

• ribbon
• Columnar
• The foundation of the pile.

Many are advised to make an ordinary tape or foundation of piles, but because of finance and construction company went in a gift columnar we stopped it. Briefly on our soil and a half meter starts hardboard (solid rock), so we've got 21 column height of 2 meters, 4 tons of medium gravel and 2 bags of cement, this foundation gives a shrinkage of 1.5 cm The photo shows this foundation, generally within 2 years the house is not sailed.

External processing.

First and most importantly the collection of a wooden house - it is possible to insulate it and treat joints other opportunities to do so you will not. We took impregnation "Pinotex". It's certainly not cheap, but reliable and have warmed the thick material, for a total of the collection team, we process it and insulate the joints.

Also, every year, it must be processed externally impregnated or painted, we decided that we would paint, it's pretty expensive, but still cheaper than the impregnation, as it quickly due to rain washed off. And I do not advise shkurit tree, because then the paint is not exactly go to bed, we just washed first conventional white and switched to interior decoration.

Inner trim.

Naturally it came to the interior design.

Required inside we were treated by impregnation ognebiozaschity way cheaper, but it takes a lot, and then stained with conventional paint for wood and bath additionally painted with lacquer.

Double glass package we went to a gift so that would never muzzle we shot glass, there is also treated by impregnating wood and color stains, coat with sealant and everything is fine, quiet and nowhere is not blowing, but minus the wooden windows - they crack and had their little customized. Up to the second floor of his hands have not yet reached but are planning to insulate and beams leave will design, they attach Ilyich lamp on a long wire, the light will divide the room into zones. And of course turn to the communications.

Communications.

• central light and the house wiring copper (machine 34)
• water-well at 40 meters
• drainage- septic tank

To summarize, I can say that the wooden house in the decoration comes out cheaper, and visually it is much nicer, but the construction is necessary to take into account all the risks, all the same tree.
