My husband and I for a long time dreamed of a country house near St. Petersburg

My husband and I for a long time dreamed of a country house near St. Petersburg. In February 2018 we started to build a house in the Leningrad region - 12 kilometers from St. Petersburg. We always wanted to be able to escape from the bustle of the city, create your private place where you can have a rest from noise and routine. I also wanted to make a small garden, where I grow herbs for the table and maybe a couple of bushes and flower garden of cucumbers, that each day I was delighted favorite plants - hosts. The aim of the husband was to build a solid single-storey house in a European style with a sauna inside.

Complex was the time selection portion. Different areas of St. Petersburg, a lot of offers with its pluses and minuses - we have long thought it was about the space.

On the site selection affect flowing near a clean stream. After the completion of the main building (house), we plan to establish a body of water near a cozy gazebo, where they could spend the evening preparing something on the grill.

When the site was purchased we started planning the house. Specialty husband allowed not to buy a finished project home, and do everything yourself. We hired work crew from Uzbekistan. First was erected pile-helical foundation, because it is cheaper than the others and is suitable for a frame house. House decided to make the carcass because this kind of buildings perfectly holds heat and not very expensive.

Next, a team of our project started construction of a major component of the house: the frame.

After the frame do the roof. As a material selected from soft tile of the appearance and the lack of noise in the time of rain. Next were put windows and doors. After that sheathed the walls outside vetroizolyatsionnymi Finnish plates "Izoplast", to warm the floor.

Then sheathing facade has been performed on it to be secured Japanese decorative plates that are exterior finish trim. The problem was that the workers secured the plate upside down, thereby violating mount technology. Naturally, we had to adapt, and, unfortunately, a few plates were spoiled.

Now the building is suspended at this stage: doing the search for a new working team. It remains to put laminate and finish the work on the little things. And our dream home is ready!
