Cottage built themselves, from foundation to roof

Summer, heat, stuffy apartment, I want fresh air. Our family, consisting of four people living in a two-bedroom apartment. We are seriously thinking about buying a summer residence. The neighbor sold suburban area, and persuaded us to look at. On the site has been shed and toilet, more than any of the buildings that was not there. We liked the location of the site. In five minutes was a river, beautiful scenery, and half an hour by car to the house. A dacha decided to build themselves.

Project.

Cottage built themselves, from foundation to roof. The first thing you need to draw a plan of cottages and mark the area. On the Internet we found drawings unpretentious two-story house and started marking. The house had to be the size of 4 to 6 meters, and 2 to 6 meters gazebo. But on the advice of friends, it decided to increase the house, and now the foundation was 6 on 6 meters. Place does not happen much, especially when children are in the family.

Foundation.

All necessary calculations and in the construction of the foundation:

• necessary to calculate the depth of soil freezing;
• load on the foundation.

Our foundation for calculations went 1.5 meters. Because the money we have is not particularly was dripped themselves. Certainly easier to drive bobcat, he one day all dug up, but we did not have to rush somewhere.

For all building regulations, so that the house is not cracked in the future, it is necessary that the foundation survived the winter, picked up the fortress. Therefore, we started to fill in the fall.

A solution for the foundation:

• rubble;
• Cement;
• Sand;
• Water.

The ratio of sand and cement is usually 1: 3.1: 5, we chose the average, 1: 4.

The solution is absolutely necessary to lay the reinforcement to the foundation can withstand the loads.

Cap and waterproofing.

When building a house needs plinth of red brick. Defending the winter, we have begun to build a future. Cap laid five rows. Then it stele rune roofing material. Waterproofing is necessary in order to subsequently face the problem of extreme humidity in the house.

Box.

For the walls, we chose units. So it is much faster and cheaper. Initially raised corners. Everything should be on a level, plumb the angles were measured, and then the middle, is reported. Of course, the higher the climb, the harder it becomes. On the second floor joists are installed. Where windows and doors lintel. We made a jumper from the iron parts.

The second floor was the hardest. Since gable roof, then first it was necessary to assemble the frame of the roof, and only thereafter on the wall.

Roof.

One of the most expensive and difficult stages in the construction of a roof. First we need to build a framework, all this takes place at a high altitude, from this, it becomes even harder. Amplifiers are put in the middle. When the frame is ready, put a crate than the bowl, the better. The next step must be to lay the waterproofing, and only then the profile. This of course depends on quality of taste who lays tile, who the best man, etc. Our choice was a color profile.

We have built a bungalow for yourself, so to a large extent been able to save. The box and the roof cost us 250000rubley. And if hired builders, then two, and then three times more expensive. The most expensive out finish. Now we have a small house, and it is invaluable for us, as it invested power and love.
