Building a house (floor slab, wall protection against moisture)

Spring in the south are always early, often as early as April, the thermometer creeps up to thirty degrees. It's time to reopen the construction site, which we did. Here are just a re-entry does not mean the beginning of the construction works. My husband first went on a long trip, and then we chose to build a trip to the Crimea. I must say that for the sake of the Crimea, we often postpone any case. Probably because of the years of the "Crimea - not our" very dreamed of traveling to "Crimea - ours." Here and Now is compensated. It is a mountain in Koktebel, where the nature of the "molded" profile Voloshin. Miracle, right ?!

So work and rest almost flew summer. He continued to clutch her husband in August, and the first floor finished putting in late November.

Separately say about the windows. After discussing, we came to the decision to do the same window openings. So then they are easier to install. Above the window and door openings, we poured concrete Laying nets in the so-called U-shaped blocks. Thus, we have excluded the cold bridge on the street, because the concrete is poured inside the blocks.

Since we were planning to build a two-storey house, the first floor of poured concrete interfloor overlap. To exclude the cold bridge formwork husband made of aerocrete. Buy unit thickness of 15 cm, we did not. There is a simple explanation. The height of the block 25 cm, and we laid out the walls of the block height of 20 cm. That is, to the concrete slab does not stand out from the crowd, we had to cut 5 cm from each block. Doing this was stupid (lots of bits it would take just junk), and my husband made another feat. It is sawed in half unit 34 to obtain gazoblok, measuring 15 * 20 * 60.

Formwork at the bottom of the plate, we took a friend's for a small fee. We brought it to the manipulator.

We set the shuttering three guys. Besides her husband she helped us with the neighbor's brother. So formwork looked inside.

We reinforced slab in two rows, the valve of 10 mm diameter. Cells were doing the same as on the first floor - 20 * 20. Poured concrete grade 250. Five of them worked. As usual, we have come to the aid of fellow neighbors. We started in the afternoon and in the evening we have fried skewers and enjoyed the job done.

We formwork was removed after two weeks. Here in this form our house stayed back for the winter. Window and door openings, we patched polyethylene. On the stairwell, her husband made a "roof" made of polycarbonate, which gave us a neighbor. The whole unit we covered with primer. We advise each. This operation is protected from moisture absorption unit. The main enemy of aerocrete - winter rains that sometimes poured for weeks. We used the primer "Ceresit" brand ST16, for decorative facade plaster.

It seemed to us that we have provided everything and our house is not in danger. Already I wanted to relax and get to winter recreation.

Somewhere in January, we noticed that moisture penetrates the walls of the house through the seams in the block. In after heavy rains there were dark spots. As the cold weather we still are, it was necessary to do something. We consulted with familiar masons, they recommended "walk" glue aerocrete at the seams. Nothing can be done, I had to roll up their sleeves and take the job. On the walls I had to crawl about a week, but I seams from moisture as a result of protection. I plastered not only the joints, but also any irregularities and "groove" in Gazoblok. After my tricks walls began to look like this.

Ahead of us was a second floor, the roof, installation of windows, and a septic tank for sewage equipment. That is, all the work had just begun. Once again, we were preparing for the summer season.
