At construction of the house from tree you will inevitably face shrinkage problem. For this reason zealous owners, following traditions, do not begin interior finish during the whole year after construction of the building which will "walk" and give as professionals speak to "deposit".
Instruction
1. Are most of all subject to shrinkage of the house, constructed of raw material, especially if not the bar, but logs was used. It is necessary to remember that shrinkage of the house happens during the whole year from the moment of wall construction therefore it is rational to allow the house to stand empty all 4 seasons. Very important to estimate condition of walls and the bearing wreaths in the fall, if not dry-through tree has got, it will burst, having reduced bearing capacity of wall.
2. Shrinkage happens also because even dry-through material has drawdown because of impact of weight of higher timber works on it. If you have built the house of dry material and have not covered it with anti-septic tank, then wood will absorb atmospheric moisture, inflating and drying respectively.
3. However, shrinkage of the building is not guessing on coffee thick, it can quite be calculated. For example use the standard house 3 meters high. Such house executed from the rounded log will sit in year on 7-10 cm, from log normal – up to 10 cm, from glued bar – on 2 cm. The bar of chamber drying will "walk" in the range from 3 to 5 cm, and not dried pro-thinned out – up to 6 cm.
4. The wooden felling gives the most minimum draft at construction in its winter. It occurs because under the influence of frost moisture is evenly frozen. Thereof the house which began to be built in November by summer completely usyadt, and then it will be possible to start its interior finish and mounting of doors and windows without fear of deformation of the house. Besides it is necessary to consider that fact that the price of materials and works during the winter period is cheaper, than in the summer.
5. After its construction it is necessary for reduction of draft of the house during construction of log and densely to stack bar on the relation to each other that between them were as it is possible smaller slots. It will lower both time, and house measure of contraction.
6. At installation of door and window openings it is necessary to remember that in order that has not jammed window and door, it is necessary to leave gap between wall and aperture approximately in 3-5 cm.
7. At the beginning of construction it is better to use screw joints between logs or bar. Also it is considered optimal variant of felling - wreath the Canadian cup. Use of this option will allow you to reduce shrinkage of the house and to increase efficiency of fastening of wreaths.
