First row from the beam and free installation of a septic tank for the bath

In the procurement of timber on the first crown (4 pcs.) I bought timber from larch. Because first crown usually takes the full load, moisture from the concrete, both inside and outside the structure. A larch not rot, more durable wood, in its structure over the resin. Some builders larch make up four wreaths in the wooden house.

On the calendar already 15 th SeptemberAnd I put only the first, but the most crucial crown. That is to say, the foundation of all buildings. Here are the first pictures from the construction site, which began to make at that time:

Observant reader might have noticed that the bar is in the stack are not transcriptions of bars, are made slots for blowing. This is my blunder, because by the end of the construction some bar seats turned blue from the fungus. Well, there was virtually no rains fall to the snow. Otherwise, with frequent rains, I could ruin the entire bursae.

In the photos it is clear that the first crown I put the "paw", pulled the pins, that stuck out of the pile. Before this prostrugan electroplane outside.

For ease of movement within the log, I immediately put to the floor joists. I fixed them on the nails on the pre-nailed to the beam block 50-50. And the beams to cut a groove of the same size. It turned out that the floor joists are in the Level with the first crown. Did their beams of two boards crosslinked 50mm thick.

The beam, which rests on the stove plate has a support area on metal, bolted to the plate anchors. Of course, over the waterproofing.

Not without mistakes.

It turned out that when marking piles I made a mistake in the location of two wells, respectively, they were not under the bar. To overcome this, I have made of the metal angle bracket and anchor fastened to the pile. Thereby increasing the area of ​​supporting the timber. The design is inside the perimeter of the building, under the terrace. It is quite unknown.

While engaged in this unplanned work, my assistant, dug a hole for a septic tank for the drainage of water from the washing. I pre-purchased the pipes 50mm desired total length. This diameter is enough, because water supply plant in the bath had not planned even in the distant future. Drain large volumes of water was not expected. Foiled insulated pipe insulation in two layers. Water flow started in the same premises and of the pair.

The pit septic tank put imported advance b / from the bus 14 and 15 inches, which gave free on shinomontazhke. I do not remember how many fit, but certainly not less 10 pieces. He started the drain pipe. On top of the pit closed flat slate, put polyethylene, plastic pipe installed as a sewer - what would the water from the washing could leave without any problems. Before filling cap put circuit from scraps of reinforcement to enhance the cover.

Many tire trimmed interior, tire cord, thereby increasing the volume of the septic tank. I did not do it, because it could take a long time. And every day was already in the account.

Sprinkled around the perimeter of the tire remains ASG and large stones so that water would not only went through the bottom of a septic tank, but also across its lateral area - increased filtration area. It is often claimed that this method allows to operate the septic tank even under water use at home to a large number of people living in it without pumping for many years.

For seven years, I have never looked into the septic tank. And it makes no sense, because draining water from the bath occurs without impurities, dirt. I think this septic tank operation mode does not use the weekly bath is designed for decades and is comparable to the lifetime of the wooden bath.
