Construction of a summer residence.

DIY cottage construction.

Build a cottage yourself is not an easy task. To build a country’s country house, you need to invest a lot of effort and means. If the upcoming difficulties did not frighten you, then before starting directly to construction, study the main subtleties and nuances of the construction of residential premises.

First of all, you need to buy land on the Novoryazansky highway or in some other no less pleasant place. Next, you should decide on the functional purpose of the future building. How are you going to spend time in the country? Will you grow a crop or will you come to a country house only for relaxation from the bustle of the city? In order for the cottage to satisfy all the requirements and wishes, it is necessary to devote enough time to its design.

The basis of almost any building or structure is the foundation. Its wrong laying can turn into constant torment. Crooked floors, uneven walls and ceiling, non -closed skewed doors and windows are just a short list of possible problems. The type of foundation depends on the characteristics of the structure itself: the strip, passing under the main walls and individual supporting structures, is suitable for a light wooden house, but under a massive brick cottage you will need a continuous in -depth base.

Next, it is necessary to decide which material will be used in the construction of a country house. It is difficult to give preference to a brick or wood, both material have both strong and weaknesses. Of course, the brick is more durable and reliable. He can easily withstand the negative effects of moisture, cold or heat. The brick house is quite difficult to heat not only financially, but also technically. The tree, in turn, is much more economical, which means that much less money will go on the construction of the foundation for a wooden building and its internal decoration than for the same work in a brick structure. Wooden cottage is more at risk of fire. But at the same time, the tree has one very important advantage – it is environmentally friendly. When choosing a material, it is its naturalness that often plays a decisive role.

If the cottage does not stand idle in the cold season, you need to take care of heating. This problem is solved relatively easily and inexpensive if the main gas is brought to the site. In this case, it will be necessary to just put the battery in the house. To bring gas to the house individually or organize electric heating, you will have to lay out a tidy amount of money.

The main purpose of the cottage is, of course, rest and leisure, and therefore everything inside and outside should tune in the right way. The design and decoration of the facade and interior will help you with this.

Include in the project of your cottage the construction of a convenient terrace where you can organize an excellent recreation area, putting a soft sofa there, a small table and cozy armchairs. Meeting with friends and loved ones in a comfortable atmosphere in the fresh air will give you a lot of pleasant minutes.
