Antipyretics for children are prescribed by a pediatrician. But there are situations of emergency care for fever, when the child needs to give the medicine immediately. Then the parents take responsibility and apply antipyretic drugs. What is allowed to give to infants? How can you bring down the temperature in older children? Which medications are the safest?
Since we have finished with the foundation in the last articles, now we smoothly turn to the topic the walls of the house with their own hands.
What do you need to know about walls?
On our site is devoted to a whole rubric of building walls, where you can get to this link.
Walls and partitions houses must firstly meet the requirements, which will be determined by the number and weight of roofs and ceilings. Why? The walls are the support for the roof and interfloor floors. If your house is in two levels + the roof is covered with tiles, and the overlap between floors is made of concrete slab, then you should be as strong as possible, since all this weight will fall on them. Also, when building a large house where the pressure is large, it is possible to ease the load by installing a seismic monolithic frame around the entire perimeter of the house, but this is a separate story, which we will discuss in a separate article.
So, the Walls!
To build walls with your own handsneed to know!!!
A variety of materials from which you can build the walls of the house with your own hands, and also the methods of construction are very many. There are also technologies for building walls, for example frame houses or houses built from sandwich panels.
To properly determine the material and method of construction, you need to know some of the nuances of construction.
Also, exterior walls of the house should be warm. Ways of warming the walls are also great, as well as materials used for this.
FROMtena, laid out of a brick or block.
Such a construction of walls in our time is considered more traditional, and the most common. A variety of building stone, and so we will call all these blocks and bricks) is very, very great. Only a bricks can be found dozens of species, differing in quality, size, material and manufacturing technology.
In short, let's say that all this stone combines masonry. In order to lay down the wall, you need to know the basics of wall masonry and its varieties. Below you will see links to articles that will give you an exhaustive information on laying the walls with your own hands.
First, learn about all the preparatory work required to begin build the walls of the house with your own hands.

Is it difficult to perform the insulation of a private house with your own hands? Which heaters are better to prefer, if the budget of the event is limited? In what order are the works performed?
Let's understand.
Tired of spending money on street heating? Then - in the store for a heater!
General principles
Let's begin with the formulation of the general principles of warming. Of course, most readers need simple solutions and advice; However, without knowledge of the basics, there is too much chance of making serious mistakes in choosing the method of warming.
The basic principles, in general, only two.
Water vapor permeability
The vapor permeability of the wall material should increase from the inside to the outside. Part of the water vapor that inevitably accumulates in the air of a residential building as a result of the livelihoods of its inhabitants is filtered onto the street directly through the enclosing structures - walls and roof.
If in the outer layers of the wall he encounters an obstacle - the moisture begins to accumulate directly in it. The consequences are deterioration of the thermal insulation properties of the material, fungus and accelerated destruction of the structure.
Please note: the accumulation of steam is especially dangerous at negative temperatures.
The accumulated moisture crystallizes, while increasing in volume and causing the appearance of microcracks, sharply reducing the strength of bearing walls and ceilings.
Location of thermal insulation
Warming the walls is most correct outside. Along the way, steam through the wall material at low street temperatures at a certain point, it begins to condense.
The location of the point depends on several factors:
- The temperature of outdoor air, with which the outer surface of the wall contacts.
- The air temperature inside the room.
- Relative humidity in the house. The higher it is, the higher the condensation temperature.
If we insulate the walls and ceiling from the inside, the wall will be cold throughout. Steam will begin to condense already on its internal surface, just behind the heater. Puddles on the floor and mold are the inevitable consequences of improper insulation.
It is useful: in practice the problem will be solved by a simple instruction - to seal the thermal barrier layer with a vapor barrier. In this case, there is simply no place for moisture.
But in the event that the layer of insulation is outside the enclosing structures of the house, the walls and ceilings are completely warmed up. The point of condensation of moisture is in the thickness of the heater, which, provided it is sufficiently vapor permeable, does not create any problems.
Choice of materials
Let's not forget that our goal is to warm the country house with our own hands and with minimal expenses. Therefore, industrial methods like the spraying of two-component polyurethane foam insulation are eliminated.
What is in the dry residue?
- For the best choice - the usual mineral wool thickness of 100-200 millimeters, depending on the climatic zone. In this material, its price attracts: a square meter of 100-mm mineral wool Knauf Insulation will cost less than a hundred rubles. Since the material is hygroscopic, we will have to protect it with a vapor barrier film.
In the case where the reinforced concrete floor is insulated, it is possible to confine oneself to the vapor barrier layer from above; When the wooden ceiling is insulated, the thermal insulation is protected from moisture on both sides. As a vapor barrier can be used 2-mm foam: it not only creates a reliable protection against steam, but also provides additional insulation. In addition, the foil layer will reduce to almost zero heat loss due to infrared radiation.
If the house is cold in the same way as the ceiling. Mineral cotton wool is laid between the lags, reliably isolated from the steam and covered with a flooring, which is laid in a clean finish.
Useful: if the loss of heat through the floor is large, and the thickness of the log does not allow the use of a heater thicker than 50 millimeters - mineral wool should be preferred foam.
At the same thickness, it provides more effective insulation; while its heat-insulating qualities do not deteriorate over time due to caking.
- How to insulate walls in a private house? It's easier and cheaper to make a foam with a thickness of 40-50 millimeters. A material with a density of at least C-25 is used: the surface of the facade should not be blown too easily.
The plates will be fastened with a cement-based tile adhesive with additional fixation with plastic dowels-umbrellas; The outer layer is protected by the same tile adhesive with glass fiber reinforcement.
External corners (including in window and door openings) it is desirable to protect angular profiles with reinforcement.
Getting Started
So, how to properly insulate a private house?
Ceiling
The warming of private houses often includes a cold loft. By itself, it is a fairly effective barrier to heat leakage; However, the house will become noticeably warmer after performing the thermal insulation of the floor.
Where we will lay mineral wool in the case of wooden floors? Straight between the beams. The basis can serve as a wooden board fastened directly to the beams; However, the light weight of the insulation makes it possible to use less stable structures.
One of the simplest looks like this:
- To the beams from below, the lath is made of galvanized profile. Of course, it is aligned strictly on the level.
- The ceiling is sewed with plasterboard. Seams shpaklyuyutsya with reinforcement serpyanka.
- Then the top is laid out with an overlap of 5-10 centimeters strip of vapor barrier film or penofol. Stitches are necessarily glued with building scotch: we need maximum tightness.
Caution: foam foil is laid in a foil side towards the warm room. In this case, it will effectively reflect the thermal radiation.
- Between the beams are laid insulation plates. If the laying is carried out in two layers, the joints between the plates should not be stacked on top of each other.
- The insulation is protected by a second layer of vapor-insulating material - also with mandatory sizing.
- The remaining gaps are dyed or filled with small pieces of polystyrene.
- Outside, the foam is closed with a thin foam foam, after which the flooring is laid. An alternative solution is a foam foam under the laminate, on top of the flooring.
Walls
Well, what does the insulation of walls in a private house look like with foam?
- On the horizon above the socle is fastened the starting profile.
- The surface of the wall is leveled. The size of potholes and protrusions should not exceed one centimeter.
- The slabs are fastened to trowels of tile glue - as a rule, four in the corners and one in the center. From row to row, vertical seams are displaced. To control the stacking of plates in one plane, a rule is used.
- After the glue is seized, the polystyrene is additionally fixed with dowels-umbrellas - also five per plate.
In the photo - one of the stages of insulation of the facade with foam plastic.
Conclusion
All work on insulation can be performed by a person with a minimum of construction skills. The costs will not seem burdensome at the same time. As usual, in the submitted video in this article you will find additional information on this topic. Warm winters!
First of all, you need to decide: what kind of house you want to get, what materials do you want to build it from. And then, who knows, maybe, it will be possible, at least partially, to overpower the construction of the house with their own hands.
Buying a house is too expensive, so many prefer to build it yourself, especially when there is a suitable plot of land. Especially now, when it's difficult to take a mortgage, but here you can first invest in the foundation, then build the walls, and so, slowly, "grow house" without spending too much to pay interest.
Everyone knows that the way of the individual developer is in the project organization, which first develops the project and agrees it in many instances, and only then it is possible to purchase the first brick for construction. However, not everything is decided by architects and designers. First of all, the customer must decide: what kind of house he wants to get, from what materials he wants to build. And then, who knows, maybe, it will be possible, at least partially, to overpower the construction of the house with their own hands. There are many technologies and materials for building houses. Therefore, a small survey of the products available on the market and expert advice will be useful to an individual developer.
Ceramic brick
It is known to everyone that brick houses are considered the warmest, environmentally comfortable, reliable and durable buildings. True, there are fans of wooden buildings, but the tree, although it can compete with the brick for ecological purity, is certainly inferior to it in durability and reliability. An example of this is the old streets of cities. Brick houses and stand for centuries, and samples of wooden architecture, mainly stored in the form of museum exhibits. Perhaps modern brick does not have the strength of an ancient predecessor, but it is still considered one of the best building materials.
Building bricks vary in quality and size, it is full and hollow. At the same time, the way of producing ceramic bricks (in the main) does not change for millennia. The clay mass is first kneaded, then bricks are formed, then the billets are dried and fired in furnaces. It is clear that the quality and strength of the brick depends on the subtleties of technology and the accuracy of its compliance. And also on the composition of the clay mass, which is often made from adjacent clay layers.
But, of course, there is GOST, which does not allow the production of "loose" brick of inadequate quality. In recent years, brick production is increasingly "expanding in size". In the sense that ceramic bricks have learned to produce the size of blocks. Penoceramics also appeared: they are relatively light multi-empty blocks that can perform the function of not only the building (bearing) element, but also the facing material.
A solid brick (technological cavities range from 0 to 13 percent) is heavier than a hollow brick, but it has a higher strength. It is used for foundation, basement and load-bearing structures with a high degree of load. In addition, solid brick is recommended for use in the event of exposure to building aggressive environments, in particular, groundwater.
Hollow brick is used for laying external and internal walls. The value of technological cavities can be different. It should not be forgotten that the strength of hollow bricks may not be very high. Therefore, the choice of brick for a particular part of the building is best entrusted to specialists and laid in the project, because the material used must comply with building codes and rules, and the house must be safe for people living in it.
The obvious advantage of a hollow brick is its higher thermal insulation properties. The porous brick has a lower weight, therefore, the costs for transportation and loading and unloading are reduced. The size of the brick is: single, one-and-a-half, double and large format. The standard length of the brick is 250 mm, width - 120 mm. The height of a single brick is 65 mm, one-half - 88 mm, double - 138 mm. As for the large-format brick, its dimensions are usually determined by GOST or TU, in accordance with which produce products. 
Approximately the dimensions are as follows: length - 500 mm, width and height about (sometimes more than) 200 mm. As a rule, a large brick, also called a "stone", is intended for low-rise construction. Due to its light weight, the porous stone does not create a heavy load on the foundation. It has good thermal insulation properties, is convenient and economical in the production cycle. The use of large-format brick significantly reduces labor costs, and reduces the construction time of the house more than twice.
The cost of a standard brick in the retail network, as a rule, is in the range of 6 to 13 rubles. a piece. Clear law - the larger the size of the brick, the more expensive it is. Much depends on the technical characteristics of the building material and its quality. However, to find a double brick or ceramic stone is cheaper than 12 rubles apiece - it is difficult, but a single solid brick for 12 rubles on the market is.
Large-format porous brick costs about three times as much: 40-45 rubles. a piece. But there are ceramic products of a rather large format, the cost of which is close to one hundred rubles apiece. It is worth noting that the "block" bricks have long been used in Europe, and we have started to produce them recently. Another large brick replaces a whiter ten standard bricks. In addition, the block has a ready-made front (that is, the wall does not need additional lining). Due to good thermal insulation property and sufficient thickness, large-format brick can be stacked in one row without additional insulation, and this will be in accordance with SNiP.
Lime brick
Silicate bricks are made from lime and quartz sand, under pressure, at high temperature. Raw materials in the production process are subjected to steam treatment. The result is a heavy building material with low water resistance and poor thermal insulation properties. The main advantage of silica brick is its cheapness. Thermal conductivity is of great importance for living quarters, and for auxiliary buildings or a garage it is not so important. Also, silica brick is widely used for the construction of industrial facilities.
However, many experts believe that it is impossible to unequivocally reject silicate bricks for the construction of residential buildings. It can be used if certain rules are followed. Since the water resistance of the silica brick is low, a reliable waterproofing of the structure from the ground is necessary. The walls of sand-lime bricks need additional thermal insulation, otherwise it will be too hot in the summer and cold in the winter.
Disadvantages of brick
The use of silica brick on "zero marks" of the building is not advisable, because of the additional costs of waterproofing. According to experts, one should be careful with the combined use of ceramic and lime-bricks in the construction of a building (for example: ceramic for the outside of the wall, and silicate for the inner side, because they have different coefficients of thermal expansion). A combined version is possible, but for this it is necessary to leave small gaps between the brickwork, in which the "intermediate" mortar anchors are installed. Otherwise, crevices are formed in the brickwork.
Brick, which passed an incomplete cycle of roasting, experts recommend to use only for internal partitions. Such material should not be used for exterior cladding or facing the building, although some types of bricks that have undergone incomplete firing are quite attractive. However, this building material has low frost resistance and water resistance - it will separate and crumble. For the outside (for facing the building) use a special brick, capable of withstanding frosts and bad weather.
Experts recommend making a preliminary calculation and immediately purchase from one supplier a batch of bricks needed to build a low-rise building. This is especially true for building materials intended for the exterior of the building and for facing. The fact is that the brick, which has the same GOST, can have different shades for different manufacturers - it depends on the raw materials, from which the brick is made. A one-time purchase of building materials will save the steward from additional searches for the brick of his own color.
Experts do not advise to contact the firms that sell the brick right on your site. Delivery of goods, already included in the relatively small cost of a batch of bricks, looks attractive. But this should alert. There is a risk of encountering a one-day firm that will bring a substandard brick, and then disappear without a trace. It is better to choose the goods on the stationary sales areas of the seller. And under the personal control to take out from there not "a cat in a bag", and a qualitative building material.
Block materials
Earlier it was easier to choose building materials: the serial house-building was either brick or panel. Now there are a lot of block building materials, which manufacturers strive to compare with the brick. If we analyze the comparative data (when the producers of blocks are compared), it turns out that the new material is lighter and cheaper than brick, has better thermal insulation, strength, environmental and other characteristics. And certainly, it is advisable for low-rise housing construction.
An experienced buyer fits with a skepticism to the estimated characteristics of the product "from the seller". On the other hand, how not to believe THAT, GOST, certificates of quality, where the excellent properties of building materials are due. Many block materials are really good. But, according to experts, it is difficult for them to compete with quality brick. Although in many cases they have price advantages, and in this respect are really suitable for low-rise construction, especially when the budget is limited.
Aerated concrete blocks
Aerated concrete is a building material that is obtained by mixing cement, quartz sand, water, lime and aluminum powder. There is a reaction - hydrogen bubbles are released by bubbles. The technology provides thermal treatment of blocks in furnaces, resulting in building structures with a strong porous structure. Aerated concrete blocks (otherwise they are called blocks of cellular concrete) can be even larger in size than brick ones: the volume of a large "building unit" is about 15 to 20 bricks.
A large number of enterprises are represented on the market that produce gas-concrete blocks of various sizes and qualities. Usually aerated concrete manufacturers try to expand the range of products: according to its purpose. Well-equipped factories produce not only blocks of various sizes (for any wall thickness), but also window and door bridges, ceiling ceilings, and other products. This is especially convenient for low-rise construction: you can purchase the necessary building materials in one set.
For the laying of aerocrete blocks special glue is used. Usually it is made on the basis of cement. The correct form of aerated concrete blocks is often a source of pride for producers: it is impossible to "plant" a construction material with an uneven surface on the adhesive. At the same time, many manufacturers indicate that their aerated concrete blocks can also be placed on a concrete solution if desired. For fixing building materials, not only mixtures are used, - some enterprises "equip" blocks of cellular concrete with a groove-groove design. Also, for the convenience of laying the building material, special "holes" can be provided on the "side" for capturing the block.
According to experts, the flat surface of the aerated concrete block is an important advantage. If the laying is done by experienced builders, then the wall can be not stuccoed: enough to flatten it, enough putty. Also, the advantages of blocks of cellular concrete include their light weight (and this is a lower load on the foundation) and a relatively large size (less labor); small consumption of the mixing mixture; good thermal insulation properties. Some manufacturers claim that the structure of aerated concrete blocks does not need to be lined, since the porous concrete has a high vapor permeability, which means it has the ability to "breathe". 
Perhaps in an era of crisis - unrefined building (and even without internal plastering) - really a good option. However, according to experts, the exterior cladding does not harm the house of cellular concrete at all, as it will better protect the walls from the external environment and ennoble the facade. However, experts do not recommend laying a brick (if they spread the outer side of the wall) close to aerated concrete. It is necessary to leave a gap and apply special technology, because close contact of dissimilar building materials (as mentioned above) impairs the operational properties of the building. In addition, tightly adhering brickwork limits the "respiratory function" of aerated concrete blocks - this is the opinion of one of the enterprises that produce building materials.
Blocks of foam concrete
Foam concrete is a foamed solution of sand, cement, foaming agent and water. After drying and hardening of the material, porous concrete is obtained. Blocks of foam concrete in their characteristics are similar to aerated concrete products. They also have a small weight, good thermal insulation properties and quite large dimensions: that is, a building made of foam concrete blocks can be built faster than brick, and with less labor. However, there are some differences. The density range of foam concrete (kilograms per cubic meter) is slightly larger than that of aerated concrete. That is, foam concrete blocks can be lighter than aerated concrete blocks, and maybe even heavier. Experts believe that such a "density spread" is associated with the technology of production of construction materials. It is often produced in small enterprises, in accordance with specifications (technical conditions). But aerated concrete blocks are usually produced in large plants equipped with furnaces and other equipment. Therefore, aerated concrete blocks are considered whiter than reliable, but they cost more.
Disadvantages of cellular concrete
The weak link of blocks of cellular concrete is the firm desire of producers to compare it with brick. The consumer finds it difficult to understand which of these materials is best for the price-quality criterion, according to performance characteristics. Manufacturers of foam concrete and aerated concrete blocks put forward reasonable claims to the brick: they say, now under this name they produce not the same material as 200 years ago. Modern brick buildings will not stand for centuries. Even high-quality brick is much more fragile than its "ancestor", and how many low-quality bricks are sold in the market ... Many experts believe that attacks on brick are somewhat biased, and in the market you can meet defective lots of any building material. The conclusion of most experts is this. Building materials for quality and reliability go in the following order: brick, aerated concrete, foam concrete. On average, the price is also distributed.
Blocks from sawdust concrete (arbolite)
As the name implies, this building material consists of sawdust, cement and water. True, the technology makes it possible to use other organic components, as a rule, waste from the woodworking and textile industries. The main advantage of sawdust concrete is its light weight, excellent thermal insulation qualities, and relatively low cost. Experts note that this material is especially good for the construction of small houses: the light weight of sawdust blocks allows you to save on the strength characteristics of the foundation. In addition, this material tolerates the deformation well (for example, due to the temperature difference), and has the ability to restore the shape. Despite the combustible contents of the block (sawdust), the building material has high fire resistance.
Disadvantages of sawdust concrete
This material was seriously damaged by the reputation of the serial buildings built in the sixties. In some cases sawdust-concrete slabs have collapsed in half a century, especially this construction material has shown itself in direct contact with water. However, according to experts, many producers of sawdust concrete took into account the negative experience, and therefore add to the building material special components that significantly improve its reliability. Nevertheless, when erecting a building from sawdust concrete blocks, it is necessary to approach the drainage system especially carefully: the water from the roof should not flow along the sawdust-concrete walls. 
Blocks of expanded clay concrete
Keramzitobeton is kneaded from expanded clay, cement, water and sand. Expanded clay is burnt clay. Claydite gravel with a size of 5 mm is used as filler of blocks. Sometimes, in the production of claydite concrete instead of cement (as an astringent element), lime, gypsum or synthetic materials are used. Blocks of expanded clay concrete have high strength: according to this indicator they are in the forefront of block building materials. Products made of expanded clay can be used for the construction of load-bearing walls of multi-storey houses, and even more so claydite-concrete blocks cope with load bearing in low-rise buildings. The building material well tolerates a rainy and windy climate, is resistant to an aggressive environment. Thanks to a natural filling of baked clay, expanded clay has good thermal insulation properties. The market offers full-bodied and hollow blocks of expanded clay concrete. The latter have thermal insulation properties, besides they are cheaper.
Disadvantages of expanded clay concrete
This material has great strength and a corresponding cost. According to experts, (not all) it is inexpedient to use it for the construction of the whole house, let alone partitions. For interior walls it is better to choose cheaper and not so strong (and therefore lighter) building materials. For example, gypsum plaster boards, which are inexpensive, and very practical in the construction of partitions, since they do not need additional alignment. However, other experts consider claydite concrete to be a suitable material for both bearing walls and internal partitions, since it is possible to build internal walls from slabs of lower thickness.
What to build a cheap house?
The most inexpensive and reasonably reliable house, according to experts, will come from aerated concrete, expanded clay concrete or foam concrete slabs. And the most "budget" way of facing is the plastered facade. At the same time, experts warn that the reliability and durability of the building depends not only on the choice of construction materials. It is very important to lay the foundation correctly, and it is better to entrust this work (as well as the foundation calculation) to specialists. If the foundation is incorrectly designed or poorly laid out, the durability of the building will not be ensured even by the most reliable building material. This is especially true if the owner, not having enough experience, undertakes to lay out the foundation with his own hands.
Experts believe that the quality of aerated concrete exceeds the foam concrete. And in our time of crisis, due to tough competition, some enterprises have arranged dumping. Therefore, this summer it is possible to find gas-concrete slabs at the price of foam concrete ones. But if the steward prefers to have a more respectable building (albeit more expensive), with an aesthetic appearance and better operational properties, then as a building material it is better to use brick.
As for the amount of building materials (blocks or bricks) required to build a house, then, according to experts, they are. To build the walls of the garden house will require 60-70 m3 of materials, and for a private house, at least 100 "cubes", but usually builders are building more spacious residential buildings. At current prices, taking into account the crisis discounts of up to 30%, the cost of the walls of a residential house from quality building materials can be laid at 100 thousand rubles. "Budget" option will cost the developer cheaper, about twice.
In the presence of a picturesque plot of land and the desire to create your own private house, a project for this is simply necessary. To complement the pristine beauty of nature with the creation of human hands, you can and without creating a sketch and a project, but only when building a small cottage. Minimal design and construction of a small country house is not subject to legal regulation. The finished house will be 30-40% cheaper than the analogue, which is put up for sale in ready-made form.
If the dwelling is intended for permanent residence with the creation of all amenities, then an individual project must be ordered from a specialist architect, you can buy a ready-made one - a standard one or make yourself. The downside of the finished package of documents can be considered that none of the standard sketches of houses can not fully meet the needs of a particular family. Only an individually designed house design can meet the needs and desires of all family members at the same time.
The technology of creating a project for a private house
Private house project For the arrangement of a "family nest" in a future private house, a project for which will soon be built with his own hands, one must know the strategy of professional architects. The finished document should consist of:
Architectural section with general data on the house and roof, floor plans of the rooms, sectional view, arrangement of windows and doors, ventilation, list of jumpers
The constructive department, which denotes floor plans with a sketch of the foundation and its elements, contains information about the rafter system, the ceilings, details and knots
Engineering section with a detailed description of internal engineering networks
The main and only principle of quality design is convenience, which is achieved through painstaking search for compromises between the habits and wishes of all tenants. Therefore, the design and construction of a new home is extremely important to carry out with the support of a specialist or using our recommendations.
Designing a country house in the home
Designing a private homeThe initial set of works for the independent production of a country house project includes:
Creating a site plan with the definition of recreation areas, a garage, a bath, subsidiary buildings, etc.
Determination of the area of all premises with the addition of 20% to obtain an approximate total area of the house
Drawing up drawings of each interior, taking into account the purpose and personal wishes
Pondering the style of the house
Calculation and location of engineering systems: water supply, sewerage, ventilation, heating
Any private house, projects for which were created individually, taking into account the needs and habits of all tenants, will become a real fortress for many years.
Thinking about the material for the future of the house (wood, stone or frame with slabs), determining the overall dimensions and location on the site, you need to pay attention to all the details. The presence of vegetation, slopes of terrain or extraneous objects can affect the implementation of plans for a draft design.
To help a budding architect: computer design programs
If your own knowledge in the architectural and design business is not enough, you can use the help of special computer programs to design: 
3D Studio MAX, which makes it possible not only to perform the preliminary work, but also "animates" the project by animating the image
ArchiCAD is a virtual help for creating any structure and individual elements. The three-dimensional image will not only allow you to see the doors, windows, stairs created by your own hands, but also provide an opportunity to walk through the spacious rooms of the future dwelling
AutoCAD is suitable for creating a design project at home. With this program you can design furniture or draw any objects.
ArCon Home is an easy-to-use and easy-to-understand program. It allows not only to make a project and come up with an interior with all the details, but also to make an estimate for the renovation of an apartment
FloorPlan3D is a convenient resource for getting a project and a new interior with the ability to select color solutions
Private house project Modern modeling and visualization on the basis of any computer design program is a guarantee of creating comfortable and comfortable housing. Provided that the future happy owner of a chic house is not friendly with computer technology, but has minimal engineering knowledge, you just need to be patient and ... millimeter paper. With a week of tormenting and using our recommendations, there will come a realization that making a project at home is not only pleasant, but also economically profitable. A loving private house, a project for which is executed by its own sweat and blood, will become a long-awaited marina for a family ship. Cozy to you projects!
Construction of a private house. The peculiarities of the construction of a country house are described.
If you have your own apartment, but you feel like in a locked cage, then you probably came up with the idea of building your country house. I think many would like to change the tightness of apartments and fussy city life on a cozy countryside nest, located in the fresh air away from the harmful exhausts of the cars that have flooded the city. You probably remember the saying that every man should make and one point in it is construction. Building a house with their own hands is within the power of every man.
Build in stages.
If you do not have large reserves of money and build a turnkey house at once from scratch, you can not build it, then you can build a house in stages based on the amount that you can allocate at a given time. Gradual, step-by-step construction of houses is one of the advantages of building a house with your own hands. Another advantage is saving money on hiring workers and equipment.
Estimate. 
The construction of a private house begins with the calculation of the estimate. To the minimum value of costs, obtained by deliberate and justified calculation, another 20-30% should be added. This is the amount of the projected increase in the value of the building material, since you are going to build a house in several stages stupidly to believe that prices will remain at the same level throughout your construction time. All necessary documents and permits must be received before construction begins.
When calculating the estimate, it is worth considering that not all the work you can do yourself. At some stages of construction, you may need the help of additional workers. It is best to hire workers' brigades on the recommendation of someone you know, so that you are confident of their adequacy and the quality of the work they perform.
In any case, construction by yourself will be cheaper than buying a house that has already been built, plus the house will be built taking into account your wishes and preferences.
Technology.
When you decide on the material for the construction of your future home, the construction technology will be determined. The use of different materials also requires different requirements for laying the foundation, for building walls, for decorating the building from the outside and placing it inside, for connecting to various communications.
The choice of material depends on which particular house you need. If you need a large residential building, then the brick will suit you perfectly. Summer cottages are built of brick expensive, most often they are made frame, or from foam blocks. 
To erect a house in which there will be no central heating much easier, but without heating can not do, no room in which people permanently live in the cold season. The main elements of any house are the foundation, walls, doors, windows, partitions inside the building and the roof.
Foundation.
The foundation of any building is the foundation. The choice of foundation depends on the type of soil on which we will build our future home. The foundation is tape, columnar, monolithic, made of slabs or on stilts. Foundations made of slabs or on piles are the most expensive and are used in the construction of multi-storey buildings. The ideal choice will be belt, monolithic or prefabricated. Together with the foundation pouring, they begin to conduct communications (water supply, electricity, sewage, etc.)
If you have a choice to start building a private house, or buy a finished apartment, I advise you to start building a house. When it is finished, and you celebrate your housewarming, you will understand that they made an excellent choice. Successful construction!
