Mini house - compact frame from the participant FORUMHOUSE

The website is replete with examples of the construction and operation of small, or as they are now called, mini-homes, but usually it is a frame-modular or frame structures. As it turned out, the log - also suitable wall material, especially when the construction concept - environmental friendliness and naturalness. Their experiences with all stakeholders shared one of our craftsmen, with the nickname mike099. The theme has collected all the stars, indicating its relevance, so it makes sense to expand the coverage of the audience considered the construction process step by step:

• Eco-hut.
• Training.
• Foundation.
• Box.
• Roof.
• Inner workings.

Eco-hut just 30 m ²

mike099 (FORUMHOUSE User):

Long ago crept into the dream of building a wooden house - environmentally friendly, with little or no color, mineral wool, Styrofoam and other "benefits" of modern industry. The challenge - with a minimum of effort to build a Solid, comfortable house, suitable for winter arrivals and year-round, so the shingle, boulders, mezzanines, Russian stove and other amenities in the past centuries the project is not included.

Craftsman immediately decided to construct:

• Cvayny foundation.
• A box of chopped logs manually.
• Metal roofing.
• As the insulation for floors - with sawdust clay sawdust and lime.

Training

Step preparation included clearing portion, digging a well, installing wooden purchase toilet cabins and then came the step of selecting the project. Initially craftsman swings at polutoraetazhny frame 8 × 9 meters with five rooms, but as the judgment loomed completely different design. From the second floor, the attic, though, declined, both because of the reluctance to engage in fitness ladder and because of other reasons. Moreover, when the scheduled heating furnace is a large temperature difference between the levels. Plus, problematic sawdust to insulate a pitched roof with an attic ceiling and cold much easier. Next it was the turn of squaring, and the result of the selection of the optimum plan is the project log 6 × 6 meters, with a range of functional areas.

They were taken into account and vitally necessary for comfortable existence meters, and savings in operation due to the reduction of heating costs and specificity Cottage - home to "drink tea and go to sleep." However, such an adjustment scale has led to the abandonment of the planned felling of timber into the cup. Six-meter beam just fits into the plan, and a seven-meter is significantly more expensive and work with him one. Yes, visually cutting in cup wins, but also a "dovetail" with the crossing is quite functional, and you can close the ends of frames.

Foundation

Preference was given to screw piles from a desire to try the "super-modern solution" and to save money, and also because of the speed and relative ease of installation. Total nine piles Screw - three point support on each support beam, pile diameter 108 mm, thickness - 4 mm. Despite some problems during the installation of piles and fragility coverage, positioned as a durable protective layer, but in fact no effort rip off the nail, craftsman happy choice. Not only may a bath and put on the pile, although he admits that a tape or plate "will be more reliable."

Box

A log house collected on moss, ordered in advance from another region, before mounting moss poured to dry, since the importation of it was still fresh and not particularly shrunk for two weeks in anticipation of their hours. Make the log walls proved problematic because of the small size chetyrehstenka, and the cost of the box, in this case jumped to almost half. Therefore in one day and hired a team brought another one attracted just a box, and although Moss after assembly picturesquely hung on all the walls, it took much less than planned, as the practice - clearly not reported.

For drying log cut vents size of 30 × 30 cm, with the lattice. To all who are just in the process, mike099 He advises them to do more. Curl (primary konopatka log moss) has been doing on their own, driving the hanging moss into the voids, excess cut office knife.

Roof

From the now popular soft tile craftsman he refused for several reasons.

mike099:

Soft roof dismissed immediately, due to lower environmental impact and higher prices. Svyazuyushie, the basis of soft tile - this material is not far from natural. Mounting it more expensive and need a smooth floor from OSB or plywood.

Therefore, the preferred metal tile that mimics ceramic source. Wide semicircular ridge instead podstropilnyh elements - the central support ridge beam. Waterproofing, kontrobreshetka rafters (50 × 50 mm) with a lathing step for coating profile (35 cm). As planned - the eaves of 70 cm, will further metal gutter system.

After assembling the log "under roof" defended the ventilation little window awnings, as well as on the edges, cracks and low tides at the junction box and piping installed temporary ebb of the waterproofing. Neither wanted to avoid the use of chemicals, and had to handle the gables of the simulation beam protective impregnation.

inner workings

The ceiling is made at the stage of the beam assembly, wanted to observe the style, but the handling of the log now - not a cheap pleasure, just as the log. Craftsman replaced log board, 50 mm thick, with an overlap of slots unedged board thickness of 25 mm, and the entire timber DROP polished before assembly. To avoid problems at warming a mixture of sawdust and clay, through the ceiling are two support beams.

Okosyachku openings made yourself, as profiled companies raised the price tag to unreachable heights.

mike099:

Okosyachka made simple, rough T-shape: the grooves in the log saw outlined, the main sample was a router. Laying bar 50x50 mm dry with a linen tape (heater), and it has targeted screws box board of 200x50 mm.

Another relief in favor of modern materials - steel and two plastic windows, wooden euro-windows set in the future premises. Again, in order to save painted windows yourself, what regrets - the quality of the factory turned out below, while taking into account the cost of consumables difference in money is minimal at higher labor costs.

In order to increase the heat capacity of the house, the stove chosen combination, brick, cast-iron stove, as a compromise between a bourgeois and Russian iron stove. Under furnace foundation - depth of 1.7 m, the reinforcing frame, two cubic meters of concrete.

Subfloor as drying "pleased" slits close them had nashchelnikami before backfilling sawdust packed remaining dry moss, as a natural antiseptic.

Sawdust before installing arch lime and carefully rammed. Before you begin the installation of finishing the floorboard craftsman brought communication.

Unpleasant surprise was the strong floor warping after shrinkage in just one day and falling knots. As a result - opening cover and reassembly, and the reason - the purchase of materials in a hurry in the market.

Leaving the first winter craftsman decided with the warmed underground - a metal frame on the cap perimeter thereto XPS, 50 mm thick, and horizontally on the ground, with a gradient from home as insulation sheets. Horizontal layer just sleep back ground, the lawn in the area under the best frame, and further stoned socle basement siding under the brickwork.

grinding logs mike099 engaged in their own, first with the help of the eccentric grinder. It turned out to be rather weak, so was replaced with a grinder, first used the circle with the grain 80, the second pass - with grain 120-150. Only a vacuum cleaner had accumulated 200 liters of waste, but it was worth it.

mike099:

On grinding it took ten days for ten / twelve hours and the amount of consumables required equipment in the amount of RUR approached the value of the "professionals". The result - a very nice and worth the labor, the house was much lighter and more comfortable. A log can be done with the girl's cheek fun.

Polished floor to rent a machine, first tape and sandpaper grooves 60 done, then took another tool and the skins 80 and 120, and fix it. The surface turned to the mirror effect, for fixing used as a coating natural linseed oil. I applied with a brush, rubbing two layers, with a break for a day and the removal of surplus from the board waffle towels. After drying, four days later, oil soaked, and formed a water-resistant film.

Partitions made frame - from both sides imitation of timber, the frame of the bar 50 mm in compacted bed of sawdust for insulation. In place of contiguity partitions to the stove - indent and mineritovaya gasket. According to fire protection regulations a constructive insufficient, one of the participants suggested topics more efficient variant, it did just that.

By caulking topikstarter created a separate topic to discuss all the positive and negative aspects of this process, since it is not certain that it was needed. The doubts were dispelled after a few test thermal imager - konopatka need, but on the condition that it is carried out correctly.

Perhaps the house turned out not completely harmless, but as far as possible, craftsman his idea to life embodied - compact, wooden house without synthetic insulations and coatings.
