Cellar, analysis of successful and erroneous decisions

This article is for those who are interested in the nuances of construction and errors. And for those who are going to build a cellar.

Foundation pit with Oshibochka

We began work last summer.

On excavation it was relatively easy. Excavator dug pit 6 x 4 x 3 m. Fertile earth postponed in one pile, the one that is lower gray to a second pile, in the third clay.

The error was: the pit dug very close to the desired size. It was necessary at all 0.5 m -1 dimensions increase. Because I had to hem by hand quite a lot. When the walls were ready, the gap was filled with mud and shed water. This kind of waterproofing. If the gap is larger, and the clay would be more. Just fall asleep easier than chopping off the wall and pull the soil.

The bottom half and the future foundation

All the bottom leveled by hand and covered with sand, 10 centimeters (also lined) after the excavator.

In places the walls of the future laid a composite reinforcement 2 pcs. along each wall. It turned out something like a foundation under the wall. Poured and the formwork and its vicinity. Not done anything wrong!

To fill the floor made of permanent shuttering of boards, laid plastic waterproofing and poured concrete.

Ordered car trehkubovuyu. She arrived (when sampling was not) and dumped liquid concrete mix. It had to be leveled rule formwork. Just half an hour was required. And the 2 people in rubber boots. A little bit not enough concrete, then refilled manually.

Drying was quite long. The surface sprayed with water a couple of times a day and covered with foil. This is to ensure that concrete is properly grasped, not to crack.

About cement concrete did not know it would be good to do. Although not required, it's not a track, not to check the machine and a stationary floor, little traveled, precipitation and temperature extremes not to disturb him. This floor has 1.5 years, no cracks.

Walls

Brick walls could not do as well as we do. But be sure to: a few rows put the same composite rebar with a diameter of 6 mm.

overlap

With overlapping decided not to split hairs, we ordered 3 plates and put the manipulator. 2:00 pleasure and a certain amount.

Where there is no plate, a future entrance to the cellar.

waterproofing

First plastered wall plates and as fetched hand, rubber-bitumen mastic, in two doses. For waterproofing.

Place under the shed are not waterproof and insulate. This work was given to the barn.

For ventilation hood brought diameter of 125 mm (plastic tube). It would be better bigger diameter.

Above the plate level of about 1.5 m extractor.

Pritochku done a little better, 160 mm in diameter. It is in the opposite corner (diagonally), sticking out of the wall of the barn, recessed down to the cellar floor.

Next was a most unpleasant mistake. In the chorus of opinions sounded loud: it is necessary to put a heater. Epps. We put him on top lipkovatoy but dried mastic. Seams promazyvat become, as it were, this glue mastic.

And it is on the eyes corroded Epps. Maybe because too thick mastic diluted solvent.

Mastic not eaten insulation, slightly podkushala ...

We fell asleep on top of all of this clay was 60 centimeters above the stove after shrinkage.

Further

We built a wooden shed.

Ladder made:

As treated wood here

Year cellar wintering simply sprinkled with clay, and clay slipped, that was not good. Decided to make a concrete fence around. Perhaps this was not the best way. Well, at least we gained valuable area of ​​the cellar for flowers. And the clay does not slip.

There was an option to dig deeper pit excavated on the meter. To this was not the concrete works of art. But it came to a round sum. And it is trampled area (around the track in fact).

Ready cellar with a barn:

As we did shed here
