Comfortable self-catering by yourself

Have you bought a plot of land? We sincerely congratulate you. And although there were so many problems immediately before you, there is nothing more pleasant than creating your own little paradise. Once you have purchased an empty lot, the first thing you need to build for it is a shed. With their own hands to build the very first building, which eventually turns into a bathhouse, guest house or summer kitchen - this can be equated with a real feat.

First, let's see what it is andhow to build a cabins with your own hands. Any temporary structure of a small size, with windows and doors made of wood or metal, is suitable for this definition. A good example is the construction of cabins, from which the present small towns are built in places of erection of buildings.

Let's look at what can bemade of metal cabins. For its basis, a large railway tank or a container for the transport of things is a good fit. The standard dimensions of such an iron box are 3x7 meters. This is enough to create a comfortable cabins. The doors are already there. It remains only to make windows and refine the interior space.

We choose on the site the place on whichstand the shed. With our own hands, we clear it of branches, rubbish, stumps and level it. As a foundation, 6-8 slag blocks, evenly distributed throughout the bottom of the container, are quite suitable. An important stage of work is the delivery and installation of such a structure as a cabins. It's impossible to do this with your own hands. The container is quite heavy. Therefore, order a special machine for transportation and a small crane for installation.

The container stands on your garden plot. This means that it's time to move on to the next stage of construction. Make comfortable steps in front of the entrance. They can be collected from boards, cinder blocks, bricks or poured from cement. After that, go to the interior finish. Determine the location of the window and with the help of a grinder cut an opening, in size suitable for a pre-prepared window block. The iron piece will go to the production of shutters.

The next stage will be the manufacture of a crate frombeams on the walls and ceiling of the container. Now we insert the window unit and fill all the slots with mounting foam. If you want, that you had a winter shed, with your own hands, insulate it with foam or mineral wool. When cutting pieces of the right size, insert them into the cells of the crate. Top with a vapor barrier material. The interior walls and ceiling can be made of plastic panels, chipboard, gypsum board, fiberboard or lining. If necessary, additional wall finishing is made according to your choice. Suitable coating varnish, paint or wallpapering wallpaper.

The floor should also be insulated. We lay the logs from the boards placed on the edge. Between them we have waterproofing, insulation and vapor barrier. We close the finishing floor of boards or thick plywood, which is covered with paint or linoleum.

Be sure to bring electricity to the shed,make one central luminaire and several side lamps. If you intend to use this premise for a long enough period of time, you should take care of ventilation. The ideal solution to cool air in the hot summer and uniform heating in the cold winter will be a split-system. The external unit in this case is attached to the wall of the cabins on the side of the street, and the inner unit is located in a convenient place in the room.

After all the work is done, there remainsjust arrange the furniture inside, lay the rugs and carpets and hang beautiful curtains. A metal shed, made by your own hands, will serve you for many years. It will become a beautiful guest house or a great children's room.
