Probably not such a citizen, who would not dream of own house on the beach.Imagine how nice four months of the year to enjoy the gentle rays of the sun and swim in warm some water, and the remaining eight months of breathing crystal clear sea air, rich in iodine and free of dust and contaminants.

prospects really bright until vniknesh especially life on the coast.Indeed, many beautiful houses on the beach are not intended for year-round housing.Often, they contain no kitchen or even gas.And if you can eat at the nearby points of public catering, here's heated shelter during the cold season, things are no fun.

Living in a house on the ocean, too, has a number of drawbacks.Excessive moisture, from which not only seems to be a wet linen, and rust washing machine and refrigerator.In addition, strong winds and hurricanes during the change of seasons can bring a lot of trouble to owners of property.Add to this the constant cleaning of the household caused by wind and sand and the "eternal" sound of the waves, which not everyone likes.And the rest is the same benefits of rest, as well as on the beach: it is possible enough to sunbathe, swim and enjoy doing nothing.

Advantages and disadvantages of living near a river or lake

As with any type of housing, the house on the lake, the river, the rate has pluses and minuses.Let's start with the benefits of living near natural or artificial pond.

Firstly, it is a stunning view from the window or from the terrace.As a rule, near the ponds nature has created a favorable environment for the growth of vegetation, where the latter is characterized by a riot of color, so it seems that the house is surrounded by greenery.Of course, this will also have a hand and equip land so that there was a place to rest.

Fifth, growing crops on their territory can distract from the madding crowd and fill life with new meaning.If you plan to divide the garden near the house by the river, then choose a site with fertile soils.

If you have recently bought a plot and are just starting to build a house in the outback areas without communications, the proximity to the rivulet will save you from problems with water - it is always possible to dial into the river.This same advantage applies to irrigation - using a pump and a long hose you can water the plants on the site without difficulty.

also having a house in the village on the bank of the river, there is no problem with the discharge of wastewater.To do this, you need to build a simple treatment plant - the septic tank of three sections, each of which liquid will settle and, in the end, to go into the river cleaned.

But shortcomings in the heavenly life of the city is also available.This and the lack of infrastructure (find out whether there is near a kindergarten, a school, a decent grocery store), and proximity with reptiles (water - this is their habitat, so I have to put up), and the probability of reheating a country house on the banks of the river, especially in theflood period.And the cost of land near a body of water, usually higher.

But it's the lyrics, but the main problem - the possibility of flooding of the house by the river and, consequently, a decrease in its lifetime.

If you plan to build a house on the waterlogged soil, it is desirable to put on a pile foundation, which is to reach solid rock.

Another way of drying excessively wet soil can be regarded as a breakdown of the territory on the stages that will prevent landslides and the destruction of buildings.To do this, the individual stages of stage shield concrete barriers that make holes for gathering water.Another option - a slope, planted with trees, which can also prevent landslides.
