Sorting the decayed log house, it is desirable to think over the sequence of works in advance. It will allow not only to facilitate physical work, but also will keep those from building materials which are still suitable for use.
What to do with old log house which only takes the place on the site? He creates special problem when on the site it is going to build the new good house. Most of owners makes the decision not just to break the unnecessary building, and accurately then it will be necessary to sort it large amount of material which very much is useful for repair of the decayed farm buildings, and it is possible and in order that in the new building to build temporary flooring for floor either bricklayer's scaffold, or furring.
Works at analysis of the house
Sequence of works is as follows: it is necessary to begin analysis of the building from above, gradually moving down. And the house will not collapse ahead of time, and it is more comfortable to store materials.
Generally analysis of the shabby building is made thus: remove roof, sort the roof rest, dismantle covering, the warming materials outside and inside. Further sort building frame, dismantle the lower overlappings. Long ago those times when handymen built houses without uniform nail have left. Take nails by means of nail-catcher, they can be and completely rusted, and such which quite still suitable. Significant economy is not expected here so to throw out the nails which were in the use or not – business of the owner. If boards can be used, for example, when finishing, it is better to pull out all nails, otherwise at their processing it is possible to damage tools. And in the boards intended for timbering, nails can just be bent.
Certainly to go into extremes and it is not obligatory to pull out literally each nail. It is sometimes justified, but in most cases – no.
Material warehousing
That boards and log had not to be moved several times from place to place, it is necessary as it is possible to treat more attentively warehousing of building material and to think over all actions in advance. When planning earthwork operations of board it is necessary to carry far away from the place chosen for ditch. For stacks it is necessary to choose the place higher – so they will not appear in pool from snow slush or rain. That under them the grass did not grow, it is possible to enclose opaque material at stack construction and already to stack boards on it.
Safety measures
It is necessary to observe safety measures and at analysis of roof, and during all other process. But different stages of works will demand also different approach.
During the work with roof it is necessary to take care of insurance accidentally not to fall from height. Carrying out heater dismantling, it is necessary to use individual protective equipment. The clothes from dense fabric have to be completely buttoned, it is necessary to put on gloves, glasses, respirator.
