What can we build a house?

Is there a man who would not dream of your own home? Perhaps the only one that was already built. However, for many the dream still remains elusive, because the construction of the house is not easy and not cheap. However, if you are the proud owner of six acres, has not yet mastered, or have already decorated the house - sheds - a big reason for optimism! After all, would land, and build a dwelling on it no problem. Of course it will not be the palace, and not even the House, but not a hut on chicken legs. So, how does their own hands with limited finance to become a homeowner? Try to understand.

It is believed that the cheapest house you can buy in India. Local industrial giant Tata launches home worth slightly more than seven hundred dollars. It's a miracle housing area of ​​twenty square meters dismantled and packed in a flat box. The buyer is required simply to build it as a wardrobe. However, as you know, the walls and roof of jute, which is enough for tropical India, it is not suitable for our latitude. So, unfortunately, the construction of houses in Russia would cost considerably more expensive, because you need to do the foundation, insulate walls and roof.

Obviously, the value of the home depends mainly on building materials. In this regard, one of the cheapest ways of raising the house is frame construction. Frame house, is not difficult to guess, is a wooden or metal "skeleton" on which are mounted to the wall and roof insulation. Fellowship of the frame is widespread throughout the world. For example, in Canada most of the low-rise housing is being built this way.To build a house it must first design. When erecting a small building you do not need special engineering skills. Besides the Internet, you can easily find an inexpensive model project. So there is no need to reinvent the wheel.When the dimensions of the house of the future are determined, as well as selected and cleared a place for its construction, it is possible to start construction of the foundation. One of the advantages of a frame house is its relatively low weight. This allows you to put it on a simple strip foundation, depth of no more than a meter. If you plan to put the stove in the house, do not forget to pour the foundation and under it.The frame house can be wood or metal. The wooden frame is a traditional, tree because the material more pliable. Increasingly, however, used metal structures. And they have lots of advantages. For example wooden lighter metal frame. In addition, it is durable - some manufacturers of metal profile gives it a guarantee of one hundred years. Externally, the house with a wooden "skeleton" and the aluminum does not differ.The walls of the frame house is a "sandwich" in which the insulation in the form of basalt slabs or rock wool. At the same time, raising the wall is very important to take into account the basic laws of physics, which state - humidity always seeks to go outside and passing through a loose material settles to a more dense. Therefore, heater inside the layer must protect parozaschity. Otherwise, your walls quickly inhabit the fungus and mold.Above you can sew on a regular parozaschity gisokarton and decorate it is at your discretion. The exterior wall is usually sheathed with OSB - is strong and durable material that the fragile chipboard has little in common. Above SPF reinforced windscreen, which can already be sewn external finishing materials like siding.If you do not want the wall to collect yourself, you can buy ready-made sandwich, which already includes a heater. Working with them is even easier, though they will cost, of course, expensive.For the roof frame house, you can choose an inexpensive and easy Onduline. For those who want to make the house look more interesting fit shingles. It will decorate any roof, essentially being just figured chopped and sprinkled with colored roofing material. The truth is the material requires the sheathing of plywood or OSB. You can also use metalocherepitsu, but harder to work with it and eventually you'll have to put up with loud noise of rain on the metal.Of course, to build a frame house with his hands is not so simple. However, the task is quite feasible. Especially in the presence of electric saws, jigsaws and knowledgeable relative or friend who will advise how to protect themselves from mistakes.Frame construction - the most common form of construction of summer homes. But there is another way of building - even cheaper and less practical. It is the very building. At the word "adobe" come immediately to mind the white huts of the "farm near Dikanka." You say archaic? And you're wrong. After all, herself - a material that perfectly holds the heat in the winter and do not let excess heat in summer. So it is not surprising that in the wake of fashion on the ecology of adobe construction is becoming more popular. It is not only environmentally friendly but also allows you to later save on heating.So what is adobe? This mixture of clay, straw and water. So if the soil is clay in your yard, it dug a well, a number of unfolded wild field, construction of the adobe house can you do next to nothing.Usually made of adobe blocks, just stuffing it into wooden molds, and then drying in the sun. Then the walls are built of blocks, fastening solution for this is the same adobe, only in liquid form. On top of the resulting wall plastered. You can build and on the other. First make a frame of timber, inside and outside of its OSB sheathing, and between them lay a dense liquid adobe. Over time, it dries and becomes a good insulator. On top of OSB then you do finish to your taste inside and outside the house. In these ways you can build a real two-storey houses with an interesting design, not just the village huts.The windows, roof and foundation in adobe houses are set, as well as in the frame.Properly built adobe house will last for up to fifty years. After that, no one bothers to your grateful descendants raze the walls made of earth with the earth and in the same way to build new ones.Happy building!
