As I built the house. Openings of windows and doors.

In previous publications I promised indicate the chronology of events, therefore, to remind: June 7, I started to make the outer skin frame, then I had a break of two weeks of which 10 days were spent on the manufacture of the roof for good friends, and 4 days I restored back.

On the roof is a different story and tell about it another time. With the back... I fail and abruptly straightened and got an easy cross to the back. So I had a little lie down and then worked for several days with a special corset for your back, good rail siding that is not required to lift heavy weights.

In general, the outer skin I completed by June 30, and minus all breaks it turned out that this work has been spent one week. Given the fact that the rail I painted once, happened, in my opinion, quite quickly.

A few words about the window and door openings. The bottom of the window, I decided to do at the level of 750 mm from the floor. I ordered windows themselves back in winter. The size of the windows 1,4h1,4 meters.

Vertical openings framed skeleton racks and horizontally made sidebar pair of boards. Especially I did not complicate, and cut in the racks on opposite sides of the slots opening 50 mm wide and deep 10 mm., That the horizontal board snugly in these grooves and a pair of fixed angle screws through rack.

The dimensions of the openings made naturally bigger than the window, because the bet was planning on mounting foam. He added two centimeters on each side. That is, the openings I get 144h144 cm.

By doorway is the same: an opening larger than the box 4 cm (2 cm per side)

Snap frame to the main house was just - tree to tree. frame walls tied only in two places. Where a nail nailed, screwed and where using metal strips, which are used for attaching drywall profiles.

Since the old roof, I decided to leave, the task was to hang it to the new walls before the break clay extension. Then it turned out as in the proverb "Measure twice, cut once." Probably ten times Gaugeable height of the supporting beams of the old roof. First, when preparing the foundation, after already on the finished basement. As a result, the framework clearly stood under the beam. The truth is further revealed that the beam is far from the horizontal, but still on the edge of the roof lay a new wall, and from then on it was easier to suspend the entire roof to the new wall.

For clarity, you can see a short video about what happened at this stage.

And on the roof, I tell you next time.

Alexander.
