House with his own hands

Interesting story an ordinary person who decided the housing problem with their hands





This summer, while many rested on the seas, fighting terrorism, choked with smog, suffered from drought, rallied, creating a customs union, someone was fighting, and someone died and all, I built the house, my own house . Built it without any projects and approvals and all alone (albeit for 7 days assistant took the heaviest work).

Construction began on June 5, and on September 18 he moved to live.

About own home I thought about for a long time. Figured out a variety of options: from "rob a bank" to make money and build yourself. Nevertheless decided to build, as construction is easier robbery, does not require
I has the following resources: hand growing from the right place - 2 pieces, 6 hectare site, VAZ-21093, 400 thousand rubles and a bunch of advisors around, sometimes even hinted at something useful. Actually, if I had listened to advice - would not see me at home as their own ears, because everyone is special, knows better than anyone how it should be, with no nothing good ever built. If there is confidence - you need to take and do, if not, but I want to - to go to the construction site and watch "I think so».



This is actually my site.

My experience in the construction business was about three barns in the village of my parents, which I helped to build as a teenager. Needless to say, no one, no one at all, did not believe that I could build a house.

Total construction need the following tools:

1. Jigsaw electric hand;
2. Electric drill (better screwdriver):
3. Extension;
4. Hammer (preferably two different);
5. The level;
6. Large square;
7. The line-triangle;
8. Tape 10m;
9. Spade (bayonet and shovel);
10. A bucket;
11. Trowel;
12. "Mop" for leveling concrete;
13. Nailing;
14. Metal shears;
15. Chisel;
16. The key gas;
17. The sprayer;
18. Construction staplers;
19. The container 5-ton crane;

Disposition. House decided to make a 10x7 m, it turned out that it would be better 10x6 - more practical. During the winter months, I decided on the design and location of the house with his wife and layout. Normal plan is not - thanks to Microsoft for the correct obrabatyvanie accidental pressing HOME + Del.




Foundation. The first step is to prepare the site: uprooted trees, leveled, flattened hand rammer.

Then partition rectangle and dug the groove on the bayonet - for better stability. Then prepared a communication: the house has got water (in a special pit) and brought in two sewer drain hole course burying all the provisions of twenty meters.





Laid brick pit - first bought a thousand, then, ten times, brought from Rostov one thousand more from the old house demolished.



Poured concrete floor pits for a pit with a counter put a manhole and brought out her pipe with a tap - gander.



To lay the foundation of a two-layer pad polyethylene pipes in the corners scored to tie them WIRE corner posts, assembled improvised reinforcement of the foundation. It went all the metal that came to hand: a large part of the vineyard, wire and wires, irrigation pipes, old bed, and all the glands that are lying still in abundance.



Ordered concrete mixer - 8 cubes, that was more than enough. Tridtsatitonny Mercedes pushing through the soil at the site on two feet - that I did not realize. Razravnyal, shovel to make amends. Without rubber boots (ie, in this case, barefoot) - painfully. Here there was the first school - badly exposed cord to control the level of concrete - get a strong bias, later had to order another three cube to level, at the same time and under the garage area flooded.



Sewers originally laid under the foundation.



Frame. Bought a six-meter long timber beams, section 150h50. He gathered from the frame. That's what Makar. Angular support section 150x150 knocked out of the same timber, set into place, tied to tubam nailed struts. Next collected beams of a double beam, the beam offset imposed 5 cm, so that the resulting groove boards fastened and fixed on the inner side with respect to the pillars. Beams, especially ten-turned out to be very difficult - just barely raised together.



Then, on the inner side, at a height of 20-30 cm in the lower beams nailed one board.



Secured the entire structure metal straps and struts-triangles. Staples are very important, I know from experience that they can best ensure the stability of the wooden frame.



After all knocked down, install and secure through a 60 cm floor beams (had to advance, even on the ground, make marks on the top ten-meter beams, not to persist in later).


The upper and lower beams attached to the uprights of windows and doors from the same timber.

Wall. Bought a six-meter Half board 25h150 mm. Then actually sawed in half and nailed so that they will stand on concrete - for better stability of the structure.



Before the erection of the roof, I, unfortunately, do not keep track of the frame and one of the long walls slightly arched outwards, which then affected the installation of windows.


Roof. Overlap (actually floor of the attic floor) Cover the boards and went to the roof. Rafters collected on the ground, and made them at the right angle (optimally, I think) and then lifted and installed. To all the rafters are level and for the convenience of doing a certain point triangular gash-groove so that when you install a beam fell clearly into the slots and had just arrived. Then made Reshetnik roof of the same boards nailed at intervals of 10 cm. I think it would be better done through a 50 cm. Nailing boards can not close because the roof pitch of 45 degrees can not walk on it without a good support, t. E. On the principle of the stairs.



After finishing work with wood bought 50 liters ognebiozaschity and processed using spray the whole house.
Lay roofing felt alone did not, because for him it was impossible to walk - be completely broke. Onduline is very light, so the roof covered in just 1, 5 day itself. Under it spread a roofing material, then nailed a horse - as it should be.



Polyethylene. The key point in the whole design is the use of polyethylene, since he provides the lion's share of thermal insulation due to the complete lack of a result of gaps in the walls and ceiling. The first thing polyethylene were sewn inside and outside of the board, and then just as insulation was isolated, which gave 4 layers in the wall.

Those who zaiknetsya about some there condensate can go in the ass.

Insulation. After a long search for an alternative choice was the cheapest and non-combustible material - mineral boards, which gives an optimal price-performance ratio. This - the same wool, only plates, little pricked, but must work with gloves and mask.


All the walls took 34 packs of 12 plates 50h600h1200. If the stapler is attached, not nails for Ondulina - would save time and effort.



Decking. Long pondered how to fix the vinyl siding on my wall, until I saw the deck, which does not need special protection, looks great, does not stain, does not burn (!), And costs a little more expensive siding. And its factory cut sheets of desired length and color poprikolnee than the siding. He also decided to make gables. It turned out that he attached so simple that all the walls I sheathed in two days and gables of the day. Wave height sheeting - 1, 5 cm, could be less.



Window openings sawed grinder, she also cut sheets gables - scissors is practically impossible. For grinders best to use disks for non-ferrous metals - cut longer sparks less.

Paul. To make the floor warm to the bedding mortar polyethylene, the remainder of the package of insulation, then 2mm thick insulating film, and after - 5 cm keramsit. Then again, the film and linoleum.

Fence. The photo shows what I have terrible netting, this had to be taken carefully and choose the grid with curved ends, otherwise it goes awry, twisted, even ubeysya.



Plasterboard. Inside walls, partitions and ceilings, it was decided to do drywall. All it took about 100 sheets, 200 profiles, 100 guides. Employed workers paid at the rate of 120 per meter (including windows and doors), only 34,000 came.

In the previous photo is visible frame walls - my mistake, it is better to make the partition "from scratch».

Window. Naturally installers installed by the manufacturer. Took slopes, tides, but without the sill. Wide five-chamber profile, three glass with argon. The profile for three sealing gum.


Door. Let be damned our manufacturers. Caught the clever trick: bring Chinese door a little better, make their packaging (doubling the price), and - voila - domestic door - "guaranteed quality". Cheaper than twelve thousand of our doors does not happen, what I know now. On my bad fittings, fasteners useless, immediately appeared gap between the door and the rubber band.

Garage. There are not bothered, he built the house on the south side, sheathed frame Decking, covered roof, made the gate and was gone. Along the perimeter of the house filled to a height of 80 cm concrete, to the house could not move an inch and to impose savage stone later.



Water supply. Junction itself. Lighter work, I can not remember. Put electric vodogreyku - more than enough.

Heating. Gas yet, so bought a metal wood-burning stove (beautiful) + Heater + gas stove with cylinder + believe that many will house warmer.

Speaking about the prospects for the purchase of housing for young families will inevitably come to the conclusion of the mortgage. Some of our friends have taken out a mortgage two-bedroom - 30 thousand per month 20 years! To get! I built a house for six rooms for one summer and on his salary. Of course, say that it is difficult, but I think that the prospect solve this urgent problem like this, in one fell swoop, all justified. Yes, actually could stretch construction for a year, then we would not have to strain at all.

The size of the house and the number of rooms we have identified in accordance with our plans for a number of our children. There is a unique relationship: in a studio apartment is hard to live with more than one child, but our house as it stimulates an increase in the birth rate - pustovato somehow. In general, I think, to do one-bedroom apartments should be banned, as not relevant health standards, as they harm the demographic situation in the country.

About 500 thousand. Rub. it is the sum of the lift. At a salary of 40,000 per year and can collect.

Q: How to find the time?

A: We work all until 18:00, and go to bed at 23:00, then every day you can work for 3-4 hours (3 months you can tolerate such a schedule). And then there are the weekend. However, on weekends I was often too lazy to work, or we went to the Sea of ​​Azov.

Theoretically, you could take a vacation and more, but I leave for some reason did not take.

A: If you want to be able to. Clearly thought-out plan helps much more than big muscles. Plus, do not forget to use the achievements of civilization. For example, some heavy pieces can be raised arm, which costs 600 rubles per hour.

I carried a student, a total ease - seven days (not consecutive). When poured concrete (taken just because he had no experience with it) when set frame and rafters. More student filed boards for the roof, helped strengthen
profiled on the gables (if I was not lazy and made the forest, I could handle myself).

Physical preparation is highly desirable, but only when you put the frame and unload construction materials. If not confident in their abilities - recruitment of a facilitator and do the most important job. To never strongly not to strain, I would have to shell out more about five-seven thousand rubles.

Q: At what cold is designed house?

A: I think the house easily withstand 20 degrees. At least now I'm freezing and only twice lays stove. Feels warmer apartment in the panel house.

Q: How are the Internet and electricity?

Here here the neighbors from Rostov moved. Sell ​​an apartment-komunalku at the most expensive street (Bolshaya Sadovaya) and built a three-story brick house (hired builders, of course). So they brought the chickens. Why, you ask? 30 eggs cost $ 100, well, we'll eat three hundred rubles per month, and work and feed a thousand. I, in general, in this issue almost a specialist and can be milked, and properly build a barn and horse to travel, and to grow cabbage, but I hope I do not come in handy. However, if the country will come again in difficult times - we do not perish.

WC will be painted over the tub and sink - tiles. Wallpaper glue and ceiling vodoemulsionkoy white - there is no skill is not necessary, drywall under the wallpaper requires minimal training. Floors must be equated - is hemorrhoids.

Just hope that in the interior trim will go 100-120 thousand rubles.


Q: Does it help with the construction of a wife?

A: My wife did not help physically, open until late. It is very fragile girl, and in general - what's the point with a woman on a construction site?

Q: Why can not be bought for 500 thousand rubles some old Soviet-built house?

A: Within a radius of 40 km from Rostov such prices do not exist. And if you buy, the small shack without communications, literally with a thatched roof. 6-7 years ago it was still possible to tear, but now realtors thrashed prices through the roof. In my country houses was a good option: a half floors, brick, 700 thousand rubles. But: 60-70 square meters, an unsuccessful plan, which can not be changed, bare walls, old windows, wooden flooring. The market houses and plots I learned while searching for good.
