Material Housing of manual felling logs must be correct !

Construction of houses from hand-cutting of the log begins at the forest

And not merely in the woods, and in the winter, when the trees are immersed in deep hibernation, and the best time of day for a walk, according to some masters - the night when a tree "sleep "becomes deeper.Perhaps this view of things someone may seem strange, but the experience of carpenters work enough over the years, and as they grow they have a lot of skill to notice that imperceptibly those who are little versed in working with wood.

Apart from the fact that the home of hand-chopping the logs should be used winter forest, eminent experts recommend to take an interest in those who give it to you (why would you do to swing the ax), not with the "tapping" Do these trunks.

felled tree desirable to hold an open area, having laid so that they are well ventilated, and in any case should not be dry them, because after this procedure, they are being laid in the frame will not be able to condition the air.Recent

better not to take the properties of logs will be degraded in comparison with the same dead wood without "tapping" (the term means that the tree was withdrawn from resin for the military industry).If the wizard will argue that there is no difference, in winter or summer cut timber, and that the "tapping" is not playing no role, it is better not mess with them.

a good carpenter will ask you to log some 30-40 centimeters in diameter, that is, the trunks have "ripened" for cutting.After all, among the pines, for example, are cut for the construction of the house only the trees, which exceeded 80 years.

What you need to know about the log manual felling?

According to statistics, the majority of developers is practiced cylindering logs, though venerable carpenters similar approach to the treatment of wood do not approve.The fact that, on the one hand, the outer layer (sapwood), quite loose and soft, much more exposed to decay during prolonged contact with moisture, but on the other - due to this layer of logs "breathe".

Otsilindrovka turns the material in the sample, if the house is not made up of the trunks, all of which have something of their own, individual, and of the same pencils.Thus, as is known, after the processing is only the inner, solid wood structure dead cells through which air passes in the example it is not worse, excluding natural air conditioning facilities in the wooden house.

But, if you look at the fit of the material under a single standard from a different point of view, to work with round logs unlike the more easily than with the natural, and if you decide to build a house on their own, relying on literature - such material is for you.If you have decided to invite an experienced carpenter or the whole gang, do not take the standard log, even if you are someone once said, that they fit more tightly, and build them more quickly satisfied.

log is hand-cutting can also be defined in its place, and a good master will not delay with the construction.As for the density, the joints still need to caulk, whether cylindering or just peeled trunk.Therefore, you can only restrict Protestants on the inner side of the timber and, of course, cutting the connecting ends of the locks on the timber: the cup, in a paw.

Norwegian way of building log cabins

Interestingly, the recent Russian architecture beginning to undergo significant changes, absorbing the Norwegian practice.And everything changes, I must say, the better.So, for example, according to national traditions built house only logs, lumber - this is the introduction of new-fangled. caulked gap is expected shrinkage of logs, lapping them together .It takes usually a year and a half.

Norwegians everything easier - they build from the mast, that is, from a log, skived which two opposite sides to the planes.This is not the same trunk that was cut down in a forest and brought to the construction site, but no bar.And thanks to the use of such technology it does not have to wait so long shrinkage.

is important also that the Norwegian cup, which has been actively implemented in modern log cabins by our artisans - samozaklinivayuschayasya, ie at least shrink the log walls are sealed so that in the future there is no need every year caulk joints between them again.

And another plus alien, it would seem to us technology - walls in Norwegian log cabins go directly to the roof without the construction of a complex system of rafters.Right on the pediments fit came down, and the roof is laid on them.In the absence of the ceiling (if it is not a two-storey building) is obtained by a high room where the view opened slug supporting the roof, which creates a rather unusual atmosphere in the house.
