House of aerated concrete: the project, the construction of the foundation, the concrete pouring

To build your own home, you need two qualities: perseverance and straight arms. More money will not interfere, but, during the construction, as always, is not enough. Exit - to do everything yourself, as I have done

MichaelJackson. See how it all started.

And that is now on the site.

Key stages of construction:

• The user has developed a draft house of aerated concrete size 9h9.7 m.

• I investigated the soil at the site.

• Bulldozer dug a pit.

It is faster and cheaper than hiring diggers or "kill" himself.

• Hand-dug trenches for laying the shallow strip foundation.

• I bought b / a plaque on the formwork, at a price of 1500 rubles per 1 cu.

Council Member: beushnyh nails in the boards easier to cut grinder than pick out a crowbar.

• Cut into planks in size.

• I collected form panels.

MichaelJackson calculated formwork strength to avoid being rasporlo by pouring the mixture on the basis of the hydrostatic pressure of the concrete mass per 1 sq. m formwork strength with a coefficient 1.2.

 User reinforced formwork ties of binding wire with a diameter of 1.2 mm is "pigtail" of the four delays, and more added on top of the plywood boards connection.

Just say, by pouring the mixture formwork did not even flinch.

• He tied and put reinforcement cages.

Important! Foundation MichaelJackson calculated based on the bearing capacity of soil, snow masses home with a load safety factor of 1.3 and bearing area of ​​the sole. It turned out that the tape width of 30 cm with a large enough margin.

• For pouring concrete MichaelJackson I gathered the feed chute of the mixer.

Tip: To concrete slid Cover the tin box, plastic or linoleum. Do not use cellophane or roofing material, they will break when pouring the concrete mixture.

Concrete MichaelJackson I ordered on a proven company. The mixture was of excellent quality. But, although the volume of concrete and it is calculated, it was found that the planned level of the foundation on the black left 2 cubes. MichaelJackson I decided to pour concrete to the top of the casing. As it turned out, it - has led to the problem.

MichaelJackson

When the concrete has hardened, I measured the laser level height difference. Take a look at the photo, what happened. Sadly. I had to go to the construction base and buy cement and sand to level the irregularities.

 At this stage MichaelJackson I began to actively come up with useful tools that greatly simplify his self-construction home. Below we will discuss the top of building life hacking.

Tricks that I have simplified the construction of houses in "a helmet"

How to align the top of the foundation, if it is unevenly filled?

MichaelJackson

I assembled formwork. It can be adjusted in height with screws. Formwork rearranged by two studs and nuts. Level controlled by drawing a horizontal line on the foundation. In the process of filling watched the line on the base coincides with the lower edge of the shuttering boards. Top-down regulated by screwing screws. The solution was kneaded "hand to hand" in the trough.

How to clean b / a floor slab of tar?

MichaelJackson

I have collected here such devices for grinders. Performance crazy. Only I recommend, instead of bolts, to weld the ends of the chains of balls bearing.

How to make Bulgarian screeds for screed?

The design is clear from the photo. You will need two metal rails, a pair of boards, paper tape and metal rod for winding the cord from the grinder.

How to fix the lace when laying aerated concrete?

Usually, for fixing strings to control the number when laying aerated concrete blocks in the drive in nails. accommodate MichaelJackson simplify your work.

The device is perfect for stacking blocks of Unmodified, expanded clay and foam concrete.

What do grater for aerated concrete?

Grater for silicate blocks need to overwrite minor irregularities. It is often carved from Gvozdeva plates that are bolted to a wooden base. Although it is - simply adjusted, there are some tricks.

MichaelJackson

Look at my first float version of aerated concrete blocks. Do not do that!

Optimal - Gvozdeva four plates collected in the form of a square.

During the evolution of the user collected the most productive option for grater aerocrete.

Benefits:

• Graters teeth worn down, but not tupyatsya. The tool works until you whittle down to the end.
• Grater with 5 plates is optimal for leveling plane within 1 mm.
• Grater with 2 plates in one pass removes 1mm plane.

For aerated concrete masonry take two graters - small and large. One for rough work, for accurately aligning a second plane. So you increase your productivity.

How do Stroebe in aircrete for laying reinforcement?

Normally aerated Stroebe manually, for example, that such adjust.

 MichaelJackson recommends to buy the cheapest hand-mill, which is not a pity to "kill".

MichaelJackson

Now shtroblenie all the walls takes 15-20 minutes, t. To. It is not necessary to fasten the guide board. I put emphasis on the Fraser, ran along the walls and Stroebe ready.

Pay attention to the quality of the cutting grooves. Power tools greatly speeds up the work.

By the way, users are advised not to blow off the dust from the aerated concrete, and wash it with water from the slag. It's faster and aerated humidified, and then does not "suck" the moisture from the glue.

Why do you need a mini-crane for laying aerocrete?

When are creating a home "in one hand", can not do without assistants. If they do not, or do not want to pay money as a laborer, have to get out, otherwise ...

MichaelJackson

Building a house, I strongly pulled her back. I realized that this could end badly. I decided - I will not to drag the blocks, even if it makes the tap. And I built it. Work has gone fun. See for yourself!

At the end of the reference material to an article, which describes in detail how MichaelJackson collected inexpensive tap for masonry aerocrete.

How to work on a construction site, if the back pain?

Rip back in the construction of the house can be once or twice. Work in such a state impossible. Even after treatment, relapse is possible, should not turn around, do not bend, or lift something heavy. But to build something right! What to do?

MichaelJackson

I sewed myself a belt of car safety belts. Its advantages: quickly removed and worn. Quickly adjusted. You can wear a shirt or under a jacket. Once I pulled back to shovel it in the day 9 tons of aerated concrete. I recommend!

Important! If you stripped back to the construction site, before continue to work, go to the doctor and do an MRI. One thing to a small stretch, and quite another - herniation of the lumbar spine, which, under load, can get out even more, and passing nerve endings. Building construction site, and then you can not buy health.

What can be made of wooden pallets left over from the aerated concrete?

Another piece of advice - do not throw out trays out of the blocks. Make of them the platform for a laying of gas silicate.

How not to pay for shipping and bring materials to the construction site?

The answer is simple - buy a proven workaholic - the old "Volkswagen Transporter".

MichaelJackson

I bought the car specifically for the construction. I drive on it all. The car can withstand a double overdrive. Once I downloaded it aerocrete 1.5 tonnes, instead of the technical characteristics of 800 kg.

Look, the car was brought more than three pallets of aerated concrete.

Over the weekend the user brought 7 pallets aerocrete.

And then he delivered 12 pallets in 3 days.

Carry in the back of cars can be anything that will get there - cement, dry mixes, blocks, bricks, insulation, double glazing. If the roof to install the trunk, the sphere of application of machinery expands even more. For example, it is possible to bring and not pay for the cost of the board, steel sheet, sewage pipes and the like. D.

As practice shows - if you buy a used / have a trailer to the vehicle or the old "heel", the transportation costs are fully kicking in construction.

conclusions

In this article, we talked only about the part of the user's life hacking. His topic any samostroyschik will find something to adapt, which simplifies and reduces the cost of self-construction home. For example, MichaelJackson He tells how he made the mixer out of the barrel of 200 liters and the construction of the mixer. As he sawed aerated reciprocating saw, nail file and what is needed for this. How to separate the two stuck together with each other silicate block so as not to break them. As the construction of the cars to make "bell" for pouring concrete Laying nets on the second floor and much more.
