Purchase of timber for the bath and Search Assistant. Tips

Foundations (piles) were flooded, it was possible to begin to build walls. Beams not previously purchased. With the money formed a failure. The organization, which was working, moved to a rigid savings due to financial difficulties. For the payment of sums of my earnings have not count.

I decided to take money from parents for timber (lumber and board). I paid for pine timber. Although shortly before the proposed timber of cedar at the same price. Cedar wood is very soft and I did not take risks, do not know how it will behave in the bath. Perhaps for the house - this is a good option.

I ordered a large truck with manipulator (Vorovaiki). Unloaded (hitched slings) itself. The driver was on the boom. I received the first experience slinger. He knocked to the ground how it happened. Then my brother and I arrived, shifted the pile that would beam upon drying does not lead "screw." Necessarily passed on to the bars that would bar not covered by a fungus, not a chenille. Otherwise, display it only to bleach the wood, which is not good.

Many builders say that the best option - it is the construction of a winter bar. There is less of moisture, so it does not crack during desiccation. There is less pests (bark beetles). Even builders recommend building from a bar in the winter. Brus winter does not darken the ultraviolet sun is not covered with fungus in places long contact with moisture, not soiled by dirt, not losing geometry during desiccation (not twisting the screw). In winter, prices frozen manufacturers, and it is possible and to bargain.

But I have built a bath is not to stay, this is not a residential building with the relevant requirements. Bought svezhenapilenny bar in early September. Quality was not up to par. Partially beam caught with large knots (with the upper parts of pine). In some wane and met with a low content of resin (light). But on the whole geometry was observed.

It is better to pay to stipulate quality lumber. Both on battens, block house grade there, and the timber is necessary to register the required quality, the percentage of knots and wane. Go to production, to see how and what they are sawing. During the season, due to timber shortages, people like myself agree on the first available over-the-less option.

Acquired timber with a small margin. Just bought the board for the roof and floor beams:

Lumber: timber 15h150mm - 72 pcs. (9,72m3), edged 25mm - 91 pcs. (2,05m3), edged 50mm, 75 pcs. (3,37m3), plus a bar for passing the timber - in vain.

bath project.

How to write a detailed project baths I did not do. The main elements for me were clear, studied on the Internet. The overall design and layout I showed here

But I did the calculation amount of the purchased material. Consider how much you need of each element (beams, boards), urged to calculate the length 6m and drew the necessary volume. After the erection of walls and roof - left 4 bar (made too large margin) and a few planks. Boards then needed for terraces, sub-floor and the ceiling. But 25mm board dokupal already in 2011.

Construction of one timber? Where I took an assistant

Because time before winter for the construction of the walls and the roof was little, decided to accelerate work every day in the evening. I agreed on the work that I will leave for 3-4 hours of the day, as long as that would not be to the detriment of workers and business objectives.

But assessing their strength, how am I going to drag bar for laying the upper rims, the question arose: where to get the assistant.

Hiring a team did not want to, because It is the cost comparable to the cost of the materials themselves. Decided to find a worker on the ad. I gave free classified ads on the Internet and in the newspaper (can not remember name). I arranged on the second ring. It appeared to be a student of one of the colleges. We agreed that it will drive up to my office, and there we are on the site. Pros were obvious to me and to him. For me, his work was needed on 15 minutes a day (to help throw the bar upstairs). But despite this, the work he was always: do dowel, caulk a tow to walls, to dig a hole under a septic tank and toilet, mow the grass, etc... plus for him to work in the open air after studying with the daily pay and evening Power. About payment agreed on 80rub. / Hour. In September, the work of the evening took an average of 4-5 hours then daylight hours cut and worked in the end of October all of 2-3 hours.

In general, someone will build one of the beams that would have to resort to different, crane - hire a student to raise the bar on the wall and other work.

Costs of 17.09.2010g. for the purchase of lumber and related materials for construction:
