As the two heroic "novokubantsa" build his "dream house" (fronton and boiler)
The walls of the first floor were ready, stove flooded floors. It's time to work on the construction of the second floor. It was then that we all stopped. We are not very much like a huge two-story house, but they both knew that the two rooms is not enough for us.
Again began a long discussion. At first we wanted to make a half floor by lifting the side wall on the second floor of 1.5-2 meters. Having estimated realized it - the same thing to build a second floor, but the room will be inferior. In the end, we decided on a mansard roof, which perfectly accommodate two bedrooms and a bathroom. About this was our house in Altai.
Pediment in the old house was the carcass (as well as the whole house, built on the "Finnish" technology). Me this embodiment arranged gable. My husband was totally against it, he insisted on the fact that you need to spread the gables of aerocrete. The stronger sex prevailed, and I'm not really persisted. Quality walls of aerocrete never be compared with the frame walls.
Bought gazoblok (counting the number of husband). Brought the unit on the keypad, it also raised the pallets on the second floor. There already pallets moved by a hydraulic lift. This was done in order to save, not to hire a crane. Lift (so-called "deadhead") lent us a free one.
To get a quality pediments, we turned to the help of an expert mason. Fears that you can do something does not and will not produce triangles - were. So my husband turned into a laborer.
To start to define the height of the gable - 4.5 meters. At this altitude it was proportional to the house and did not "put down" the wall. It was further determined width eaves. We made them small - 50 cm. Such a length of the stick to be secured on all four corners of the house. They served as a benchmark for the future of the lower corners of the pediments of the triangles. Exactly in the center of the house was also established guidelines. They served as a reference point for future windows which were situated in the heart of the "triangle". Guys worked very quickly, pediments grew by leaps and bounds.
In the center of the stick guys have set equal to the height of the gable -. 4.5 m from the end of the bars, which imitated overhangs the end of this stick were tied thread that "show" side of the triangle. For this thread truncated side unit. To me, this work is truly the jewelry. However, bricklayer professional I coped with this task on "hurray".
The walls are reinforced masonry net. Made reinforcement every third row. Jumpers over the windows made, as well as on the first floor, using U-shaped blocks. Inside the valve blocks installed and the concrete poured, mixed by hand. Concrete Composition 1/3 (1 part cement to 3 parts filler). The size of the windows made the same as and on the ground floor for ease of ordering and installation.
When the work was finished, we got pretty gables, which are very decorated our future home.
Talking about the masonry walls of aerocrete, I almost forgot about our boiler. But it is because of the design features, and share complex. Ligation at the corners was not possible because they were more than ninety degrees. From the position of husband went as follows - he connected blocks on the corners reinforcement. The technology is the same as in the reinforcement of the walls, but it was done in one series for the rigidity of the assembly.
In the central wall of the boiler, we left the window opening, the size of 1 * 0.9 m. So great, we made it to the window of the requirements of the gas industry. Even then, my husband and I thought that the gas sooner or later will come to our village.
Thus, we have made our boiler that stands out against the background of its special and original form. In the future, this "polutrapetsiyu" balance the cold front entrance vestibule. He's to be done in the same style.
All work on the masonry were completed. They were difficult, but enjoyable. After all, it "grew up" our future home. Our dreams are becoming increasingly real.
