Preparation of a plot for construction

construction of frame houses and cottages. Early startConstruction of wooden frame houses, preparatory work on the site

Before you come to build a house with your own hands, you will need to perform a series of preparatory works on the site. Let's look at the order that matters and where to start.

What to do before the construction is read HERE

If you want to start in the early spring then winter is the best time to dig a well and set septic rings. You can notice that it is impossible to dig in the winter. And here I agree with you, but not completely. If you dig a well with your hands, then this is the case, but I think such a pastime is not rational and dangerous.

It is much easier to call a drill machine that will drill in one day and install all the rings under the septic tank and well. The estimated volume of septic trick for one family of 4 people is 3 m3 of treatment plant + the same amount per filtration pit. If you take into account the required deviation of the sewer pipe and the depth of freezing, then the amount of soil to be digested is approaching 10 m3.

In case if a well is planned and a modern cleaning system, then their installation should be divided in time.

You need a well before the pouring of the foundations and a cleaning plant can be buryed after building a box.

It is convenient to carry out drilling operations in the winter so that heavy machinery on frozen ground is less damaged and also you will achieve a minimum level of water in a well.

If a well is planned it can be drilled with the onset of heat. Also, at the very beginning it is necessary to put a simple toilet on the site.

Next, in order to succeed

Build a house with your own hands

you need electricity. If you bought a plot in a cottage cooperative then your road to electricity will begin at the head of the cooperative and chief power engineer. With the consent of which you will be able to spend electricity on your site. If a plot in a village or in a city then your road will be directed to DEN (District Electric Networks).

For the temporary installation of a meter and sockets, we recommend installing an antivandal cabinet in the site.

You can weld ->.

The next step will be connecting to the nearest electric pillar. All work in the cottage cooperative should be performed after the complete removal of the voltage and installation of the next near the transformer. It is undesirable to get a shock with a current while on a high pillar. You can combine injury from electric shock with injury from falling from height. Such a scenario should be avoided in any way. Safety is above all!

In case if the electricity is connected to the DEN everything is easier and you do not climb on the electric pillars. All work is carried out by the assembly brigades whose work you pay for.

The next step, after connecting electricity, will be to protect your property from passersby.

Put a fence. In our case, the fence and a grid of rabitsa.
