The lake house in the country.

[Summer]

You didn’t consider the shutters?. IMHO they look a little more pretty for a country house than the gratings...

[constructor]

For the shutters you need to mount the slope, and I have not it almost there, and the lattices are more reliable than shutters coz it's a country side, some strange people may be wander.
For lattices will be a securely attached to the posts of the frame from inside, it doesn’t fit with shutters. I thought about them. And I also thought of roller shutters.
Grates are the optimal way – of the best price and the quality.
I will paint the lattices with a rotten cherries like a door, and than I will use a bronze patina and everything will match colors in the general ensemble and will look great!!.
By the way, the project organzation has finished a manufacturing project of my house. And these days I will take it, but now theris a snow and it’s sucks to go on a country side.
And I will take the project and then I will go to the architecture for the building passport. After that, I will move to a completely legitimate channel of construction.

And, as for me, I think that these grids are not better. Well, perhaps they are more beautiful.
And why do you need a project?. Under the new law it is...

While my method of attachment, the grids will be grasped strongly. If it was only for the beauty, I would not install them.
Of course, there is no admission against a crow, but in the countryside, mostly, the " crow" is drunks, and from them the grids are very good way. But it is nothing to take here...
Well written, this is one thing, but a real picture of the receipt of the documents - it is a quite another thing. Moreover, that the law is signed by the President and the law began working with us are rather different things. The explaining documents have not developed yet. And today no one knows how to do right, so let’s do the old way. But you can pay a fine under the new law very soon, the explanations are not necessary for it! And it will be ten times more expensive than to do the project.
And tell me please, why such sacrifices at very small cost of the project?

Oh, well, there are self builders like you around 200 000 in the country according to the Statistics. And this fine doesn’t impose easy as I know. In the beginning you should reliably know that your home is self made. And as soon as you begin
fussing with papers, than you will directly get into the base of "customers."
What kind of method it is?. The grids are usually tied by the rope to the tractor. Do you represent
what it will be ...
The wall of a log house is disassembled for 20 min by a normal nail-catcher.

The design of houses embarrasses, why did you chose the usual rectangle form with a loft?

[constructor]

Do you realy like the usual rectangular boxes with a loft?. As for me, I do not like them!
In general, we began building something like a service building but then everything was changed because of the crisis. We completed the foundation and began to build a log house. Read the first posts of the topic there was not any word about the house...

Good afternoon, dear constructor!.
Every day I try to read one or two themes on this wonderful site. Today, the day was not in vain!. I subscribed to your topic.
When I was reading, I waited whether anyone asks about the bottles on the pins. Asked ... Your response was unexpected. But the tubes there, by the trees?. Are they also from moles?
Thank you in advance.

[constructor]

Thank you!
These trees were planted by the method of the Kurdyumov.
For the irrigation in the drainage.
Look it up in Google – I will find 100%. Work pictures in the manufacture of gratings. They are very similar to the drawings. Meantime, making the grids, we brought DSP and the infilling between adjusting posts.

[Summer]

Do you have the grids on the windows?. They are so beautiful but extremely not safe.

[constructor]

And what do you mean as an extreme insecurity?

[Summer]

Of course, but suddenly if there will be a fire?. We had it in our area a week ago. It is true there was a wooden twelve-story apartment house. From the second floor the people were jumping. Only two families didn't survive that had grids on the windows. IMHO, I would spent on GSM alarms and insurance. Well, then a personal dislike to look at the window through the grids.
But the grids are made perfectly!. If you do not mind there are several questions on the lumber.
Did you spend 12-15 cubes?. How did you order?. What was the quality of the beams (a geometry humidity), Are there specifics of the size (for example, 200 * 50 for 5m, and there are not 4 or 4.5), but what is worthless?. Well, general features of the behavior of national “sawflies”.
2 Delivery: what car did you take?. How many people unloaded?, and how much time did it take to unload stacking?.
3. as I understood you have a wooden plow from the autumn to the spring, how much was being spoiled (or twisted)?. Did you find a fungus?.

[constructor]

I took only a raw wood.
I ordered at Ivankov’s district, there was much cheaper even with a delivery. The only necessary thing is to control the level of a gamma radiation. But this concerns only the whole forest and also in Kiev.
Unsuitable wood was about 7-8%. But I gonna tell you, everything is good for the building at site!. The length was 4.5 m. Briefly, only a couple of boards were caught.
We brought them in a refrigerator “Reno”, the length of 8 meters. It carries up to 10 tons at a time. It is about 12 cubes of a raw wood. I paid for the delivery 400 hryvnias per 100 km. Vehicles were ordered separately. We unloaded then three or four. Nothing military.
Time is very individual, very many factors. At 12 cubes impregnated wood with from the moment of transportation until the installation of a third pile it took 2 days. In the morning they brought it, then the next day everything was done.
If you just soak, any fungus will not be. If you do not saturate and hug, then there it will be 100%.
I've recently brought 3 cubes. The frost is on the street and I can’t treat. I spread “watery”. It looks OK!!.
God forbid!
I understand that, but in those parts there are no pilferers.
A signaling to the same place.
I have a grill on the second floor which designed with the opening key, just in case. Under lock.
-Thank you very much for your report. Very informative and clearly. What did you place between the twin boards?. There was some white stuff..

Thank you very much for your report. Very informative and clearly. What did you place between the twin boards?. There was some white stuff..

[constructor]

A polyethylene foam.
It has million names.
I bought a poliizol.
Its is under a laminate floorboard as a substrate. I took a thickness of 3 mm in two layers.
It can be 5 mm in one layer, but I had just 3 mm in stock.

[baltazar]

It’s a garbage ... it compresses and if the board has at least a little shriveled, the cracks begin to siphon. I had the same trash ..

[constructor]

It may be, but I do not argue.
But I think it would be, if you are putting one layer thick.
But If you lay two layers thin, so it springs excellent, and it is waved.
I took the grids from painting. They were painted by an embossed glossy powder coat with a baking in the oven. Now we can apply a patina...
True, we have to wait for the sustained heat. It has already gone like this, but again it began snowing ...
Photos of some specimens.

And what is the price of this lovely thing?.I have seen such grids in my town. It looks very nice!.

[constructor]

All the grids, fabricated by my drawing with a painting cost about $ 440 (plus shipping and installation). These are 9 grids, as shown on the drawing, of small sizes. The squaring is about 5.5 square meters. The price was considered with a a step-up ratio for small sizes.
We produced it within 2 weeks. A lawn-and-construction season 2011 can be considered open!.
Congratulations!. The spring has come come!. Hurrah,comrades!., We worked good over the weekend!.
We sheathed by the boards the lower loft. The result was a great warehouse + the fruit drying, there will be a summer heat and drafts.
I applied at the forging of the grids a patina by the gold acrylic water-based paint. Here's what happened:
Well, the garden was sprinkled by bordeaux 3%. The lawn was shabby after winter, but better than last year.

[bill]

Your grids are "excellent"!!.
Congratulations with the opening of the garden season!!.

He drew the power distribution scheme of the house. Finally, we have built the walls of the bathroom in the attic. We made the floor in the attic above the attic and the crack under the door to the attic.
Boards are without soaking. I would soak in place. That was a string of days off, but really it was not a weekend.
We have done a considerable amount of work for two weeks.
1. We made a infilling between adjusting posts.
2. We baited the grids
3. We impregnated timbers on a sheathing under the siding.
4. We trimmed two of three horizontal eaves.
5. We excised from the DSP the floor for two bathrooms (not yet laid).
6. We paved the water in the garden.
7. We worked at the garden and the kitchen garden.

The infilling between adjusting posts.
We made the infilling between adjusting posts from sheets of DSP 16mm.
The lathing from timbers of 50 x 100-150.
We fixed the lathing to the grillage with the bolts 10 * 120. And to the crowns with the bolts 10*100.
Under the bolt heads we drilled a hiding hole. The lathing from the concrete and from the DSP we laid with a ruberoid of 1.5 mm thick.
DSP to the sheathing was fastened with screws of 5*60 or 5*50.
The places overlaped with DSP, we protected by the small galvanized metal mesh.
The ventilation openings were temporarily closed by the grids, so that cats do not climb.
Under the sheets of DSP and the lathings the ground was selected by 15 cm in deep and filled with a sand to protect against a possible (but almost unbelievable) heave in winter.
DSP comes to the sand and the ends of beams and purlins are hanging over the sand at 10-12 cm.
Such a hanging design.
In fact, the rigidityis exellent.
I quite liked the DSP as a material.
Now, you can put a tile on the elasticity glue.
The plumbing in the garden was laid by the tube of 25 mm under the track at a depth of 15 cm.
The gids were only secured with an internal mounting to the frame posts.
Under the tie-plates there are stil laying temporary gaskets from the boards.
Before the laying of the wind barrier, a sheathing and a siding, the grids will be removed, placed on the right place. The sheathing on the sides of the windows will be double-layer (board-plachtina, grid-board). The boards of 25 mm. The thickness of the sheathing will be 50 mm.

The trimming of the overhangs.
I checked in use the tool for punching locks in the back rows to lock on the finish bars (Snap Lock Punch). A luxurious piece. I made locks at the top of the bevel and snap them into the finish profile nailed in advance by a drip. Snapped and then nailed it from the bottom. I have a J fascia. The same locks were made in the last bracket of the soffit and locked its edge in a light tightness, and a J-profile, which is inserted into the corner.
I worked at the place where three external angles would connect in 3 dimensions at one point. I had to exert a strong spatial thinking. I figured out!.
I made the joining facets (laps) in a wrong direction, and, now, they are seen a little bit from the yard, but it's OK. But there are overlaps of the prevailing wind it seems to be as recommended.
That's what happened.
I trimmed he top overhang.
I began mounting with screws, as last time I was tied to beat nails under the overhang.
Screws were taken with a washer 4.2 x19, their head is 8 mm in diameter.
I renovated by the home way rechargeable batteries for the old drill Bosch 1200, and here it is a luck - the work goes 3 times faster. Only, you should manage to twist.
By the way, with the batteries there is an intresting story. The new one from “Bosch” costs about 80 USD, and a replacement of batteries for new ones costs 28 USD. If you purchase batteries sparately, they cost an average $ 2 per piece. If you solder them with one band, the issue price is only $ 20. I have collected one unit from the old cans and the second one was gave to the masters, and it was rewired and was in the ranks.
Meanwhile, we collected the first harvest of radish.
We planted strawberries. And then we planted a winter apple and a tomato plantation from a cut grass from the lawn. We are getting ready for a massive attack on the siding!.
