to fill, you will need the following tools: a shovel, for measuring instruments, solution.Let's trace the milestones.

1. Determine the depth of the foundation fill.To do this, examine the depth of freezing ground and dig a trench is considering this indicator.If the "big" house has a foundation of 1 meter, and the degree of freezing of the earth - 1.5 meters, the depth of the trench for the extension must also be at least 1.5 meters.An important point - the "new" foundation should be constructed separately from the base of the house, since the settling of problems can occur.

2. Take into account the local topography.Next you need to calculate the weight of the future extension and soil quality.For the correctness of these indicators depends on the strength and stability of your extension.

3. Fill.If the groove excavated, proceed to pouring the foundation.After finishing the work necessary to make a break for about a year, so that our base as to be settled.

4. The second method of construction of the base under the extension with your hands - use concrete pads, which can be cast from molds.We produce planks of a suitable form, armiruem the workpiece or fixture wire to give a cushion of safety.We put in the form of piles of lumber (or metal) treated with impregnation - protection against rot.Then, fill the form with concrete.At the same time we set the pile a little higher, so that you can make a mark after trimming - sort of a "reserve".It should be remembered that the distance between the concrete pad is 1-1.5 meters.The next stage - marking the height of the floor space and trimming piles at this level.At the end of the harness is attached to the piles and all future extensions - the base is ready.

If you are the owner of the villa cabins, it can be great to expand the existing area, having completed the carcass veranda or terrace.Extension to the cabins being built with his own hands as a frame of the timber, which is then sheathed clapboard.It is possible to use basalt insulation.Thus, the "temporary" shed can be transformed into a cozy cottage in which to wile away the hours of rest.
