Kitchen dreams from the ground up!

Many people are wondering how to expand the area of ​​the house? And there's a good option to make annexe! That's how our family did. We added onto the kitchen.

It all started with the definition of the project and the size, alignment of the construction costs and land clearing, cutting the fertile soil layer, where the planned completion.

Foundation

We did the layout and began to dig a hole for the ribbon foundation. Depth of 70 cm, for each region, it will have its own, it all depends on the depth of freezing ground. Formwork worth doing on all sides, but we cheated and made it the only one where the ground level is different. Next Bout filled trench and filled with a solution. When the foundation surface is dry, we made the waterproofing layer.

The next stage of it was basement, we did it with a brick. We left 6 rows in height. It took a lot of time. After you need to make another ball waterproofing. In this case, roofing material.

Walls

For the material of the walls we chose the aerated concrete blocks. After all, they are low-priced, lightweight and can be cut, what we repeatedly do. And perhaps most importantly, aerated concrete blocks do not need to insulate.

We started to build walls with angles. In order that they were smooth, we used an old but proven method, and the level of the rope. To lay the first row of the most difficult task, the following series, we erected the principle stretcher dressings.

Before you drive box to do tie into indoors. Since we did the kitchen, we needed to install a sewer pipe, but with this we have no problems.

We did a calculation of the window opening, so that would have to be less cut aerated concrete blocks. Jumper made with metal corner.

Roof

We did Shed wooden roof. All boards, we were treated with antiseptic. Then leveled surface for establishing mauerlat. Secured its anchors. Next, set to mount the beams and rafters. Warming of the roof we did with mineral wool. To take waterproofing membrane. Laid it overlapped and glued joints special double-sided adhesive tape for bonding membrane. Then we took up the crate. Installation of sheeting became albeit not the easiest for us, but the most enjoyable stage, as already had a feeling that will soon complete the construction.

Finishing touches

Windows, we have also established themselves. Slopes with the inner side of the kitchen, we are done with the tile, it is more economical option and cleaning much easier.

I would like to tell you that in the construction of a rush out of place. Here it is necessary to have patience. After all it is necessary to dry out, settle, fix. For a week or even two can not build a house.

I want to warn you about the problem with which we are faced. After a year of construction of the kitchen, we had a deformation of structural elements, as they say, went sedimentary seam. Enclosed moved just 1 cm away from the main part of the house, because the compacted soil, the weight of the buildings. This need to think at the stage of construction of the foundation. It is necessary to provide for a way of protecting the joint space.

kitchen Equipment

Fitted kitchen we started with the laying of tiles. Her we chose green color with a floral insert. Ceiling we hemming glossy plastic that makes the kitchen visually spacious. Established two courtesy light, as in the kitchen to put the chandelier is not rational thought. On the floor laid linoleum, because it is cheaper on the tiles, warm and much easier to clean. Kitchen set to buy the catalog and collect themselves. I want to note one more important thing you need to know in advance where you will have a stand to be around the place to make the outlet under the refrigerator and other household appliances. Otkidayte stereotypes that switch must be at the top, because the level lowered their hand is much more convenient to use.

Initially, the kitchen heated convector, but a year later, we changed all the heating in the house on the steam, so that the kitchen had to be replaced as well. Such moments are worth considering in advance what would be 2 times to do the same job and not spend extra money.

Construction is a very serious and costly affair and this should be taken responsibly. But with a strong desire and the right approach, you can make a dream home, or in our case the kitchen!
