“Ah, summer red, I would love you, if not for the heat, and dust, Yes mosquitoes, Yes flies!” Who would not think of these Pushkin’s lines, “fighting” in a country house or cottage with pesky insects, attacking tourists through the open Windows and doors. But it’s not going to trap myself in a closed room, came specially to get some fresh air. So start experimenting with a gauze canopy or curtains.
The main object of “defense” from the omnipresent flies, of course, the front door as the most frequently opened or open permanently for ventilation. And the most effective way to protect here, as shown, — additional mesh door hung on existing door frame: the entrance is almost closed, but available for the penetration of fresh air.
Heat exchanger
The same heat that we feel from sunlight, can be used for household needs in the suburban area — for example, for heating water for shower, dishes or watering plants. A device of this solar heater is simple. Just need the roof set so-called heat exchanger coiled hose connected to the tank with water.
Immediately it should be noted that for water heating solar heat exchanger is suitable mainly in the spring, summer and early fall (the use of this design in a cold time requires expensive, quite complex, alterations).
The proposed solution is best used for suburban areas not connected to the mains and has a sloping roof (Fig.1). The basis of design — tubular plastic heat exchanger, Packed in a box with dimensions 2×1 m. Its own one-time capacity of approximately 20 liters. Naturally, this is not enough, so you must mount and connect the tank, which will refill the system with water as it is warming up and use.
For water treatment there are many different devices. In Russia we have a traditional of them is bath, bathtub, shower. The people noticed that the bath treats, bath — relaxing, but invigorating shower. Besides, a shower is the most rapid form of bathing, which does not require any special preparations. In my view, it (the shower) and the most economical of these. Here I am, having a bath in the garden tub and in the house he decided to shower and use the tub as a sump. But the tub was already old, and on “family Council” decided that this version of us is not so necessary. Just need one soul, arranging him in the bath — in the corner of the boiler house extension to the house, where there was a gas boiler. It’s warm even in the bitter Siberian winter, besides eating and sanitation.
The preparatory work consisted of dismantling the old tub and the acquisition of missing materials. But I must say that both were not big problems and work.
When construction troubles in the suburban area behind, and finally, there is not just a roof over my head, and housing, regardless of how large or small, there is another problem — the improvement that is built.
Many do not consider this to be a problem, but just dumped here the old furniture that was unnecessary in a city apartment. But if it helps at first, then over time becoming more visible in its foreignness, a mismatch between the features of a country house, even if the walls of the rooms are covered in the city, the most beautiful Wallpapers.
The specifics of the house requires a different approach to interior decoration, especially furniture. Not by chance there is a desire to do it yourself and not by city standards, and not from traditional “the panel” (panel-mounted) materials.
Thrifty when the owner erected a cottage or manor house, then after (and maybe during) a desire to build bath. It happened to me. First of all analysed the options for baths, which I had to bathe or just to see them. Remembered what I liked and what not. And read all the available literature on the subject. Whatever you say, and the main “bath” is a furnace, so the “dance” started for her — decided on its design and location in the bath. With the wall material of the questions was not clearly wood: a log or lumber, and of such thickness that could make bathing even in winter when they are particularly pleasant and helpful.
Building a country house, we try to protect it from the damaging effects of fire: use heat-resistant materials, buy fire extinguishers, installed fire alarm. But the protection from lightning often forget.
One of the possible reasons for the neglect of our countrymen to this question is that building regulations do not consider mandatory lightning protection of buildings with a height less than 30 m. in addition, many people used to hope for the best convincing myself that the likelihood of an electrical discharge in their vacation home is almost zero.
One of the oldest and most common flooring in our country — the linoleum. Over time, this popular material have changed and improved, but in the memory of buyers are still alive old stereotypes. They often give rise to myths which we will try to debunk.
Myth 1. Linoleum is not a safe materials
It should be noted that the original linoleum was a completely natural material made from flax, oil and resin. Modern flooring materials are mainly produced from synthetic polymer — polyvinyl chloride (PVC). In Europe and the USA they are called not linoleum and PVC coatings. In Russia, however, prefer to use the old name.
The tinkerers are often faced with the need to forge some tools or household items. A temporary forge is easy to make from scrap vehicles. Enough six refractory bricks, blowtorch and improvised grates, made of steel strips with a thickness of 3-4 mm. In a fire-proof place folded, as shown in figure 1, the horn of bricks. On the bottom put two trimming water pipes, and on these bars, so that between it and the bottom bricks there is a gap. The grate is transverse slats of the grille is a little bent, so they seized the flame of a blowtorch and sent up.
