As in the old days did warm floor

Heard about the noble houses and stables, where they made warm floor and walls. Missed channels from the furnaces, where he passed the warm air. But this option see for the first time.

"Our family inherited grandma's house in the Voronezh region. 10 years ago, the family Council decided the house not to throw, to put in order.

The house – allotment of land, 50 acres of Voronezh black soil, vegetable garden, garden, mowing.

About the decision never regretted, the house and the garden never ceases to surprise and delight us and our friends who come from Moscow, "just sleep it off and catch my breath, to remember the taste of potatoes and apples".





The garden, due to the deep cutting in 2008, survived the drought of 2009, 2010, 2011, and last summer even the old Apple trees, the trunks a diameter of 50 cm, all in the hollows, which are "silent" for 10 years, gave an excellent crop. Jam of Antonovka, brewed in the cast iron pear on the coals, has no equal!

Our home allows you to make many discoveries.

The house grandparents built of oak logs, wall with external and internal parties to smear the clay with straw, the outside sheathed with iron from the Urals brought the galvanized trough, was dismantled and covered the walls and roof – believe me, this "siding" stood for 60 years!

The house is environmentally clean thermos, keeps warm in winter and a wonderful coolness on hot days.

 

A wonderful example of old technology can be the fence.





 

In August they were re-laying the floors in the house and we got a sample of energy saving technologies of the early 19th century at a distance of 1 meter from zavalina around the perimeter of the entire room was lined with a fence height of 50-60 cm, anointed with clay from the outside, with an open angle facing the Russian stove — we were told that such "reflectors" did to "drive" the heat from the furnace under the floor and keep it there — isn't that a kind of floor heating? Without a single nail, only natural materials – clay, sand, straw, vine, and hands!

 

A Russian stove stood in the corner, far from Windows, to Adobe Foundation. The perimeter fence is opened near the stove approximately 1.5 meters, just at the level of the Foundation. When using oven the Foundation was gradually warmed up and gave heat. Under the floor between the wall and the fence really is all covered with earth, and inside the fence left air cushion is the empty space between the floorboards and the earth, where "running down" the warm air from the Foundation. We of the stories the old-timers learned.

We need to re-learn how to live in respect for nature, then she will do the same. published
