Wooden cottage Anna

It is nailed to the outer sides of the frames, parallel to longitudinally, in increments of every 100 cm of the patch 7,5 x 7,5 cm, for fixing corrugated cement board coverings. The battens are nailed to the frames with nails of length 120 mm.

We start making the corrugated cement board cover from the bottom of the slope. Before that, the necessary material with the necessary reserve should be gathered on the side of the slope being made. When placing the first bottom row of boards, first fasten the center of the board at the edge with one screw. For this purpose, screws with a rubber washer are used, covered with a protective cap made of plastic. In the plate, and partly also in a patch, you need to drill a hole for the screw. A screw with a rubber washer and a cap is hammered into this hole, and then it is screwed in with a screwdriver, sensitively, in order not to split the plate by screwing it too much. A window drip is inserted under the bottom edge of the board and it is attached to the board with one screw. The edge of the next plate is inserted into the bend (wave) previously embedded plate, drills a hole in both plates halfway up and screws them to the sleeper (patches), then the edge of the board is attached at the bottom together with the drip, in total, therefore, three elements are twisted at this point. This continues until the entire bottom row of plates has been completed, ultimately having all the panels in the middle and bottom of this row fixed (including the drip). Then the second row is laid. The plates are moved up by hand so far, how is it possible, and then on to the full height with patches. Laying the second row, the boards are drilled and their lower edges are screwed together with the upper edges of the boards from the first row. Then they are screwed in the middle of the height at the top, doing so until the last row is seated. The final operation is the placement of the ridge tile. Due to this, that you cannot get gander with a small opening in the trade, you have to use these, which are intended to cover the ridge of more obtuse roofs. Because the roof of our cottage is very steep, such ganderings do not completely cover the roof, though quite enough, as it was checked on the prototype. Such a solution is shown in the drawing illustrating the assembly of the frames. Instead of cement ridge tiles, you can use galvanized sheet, from which the ridge is formed accordingly. It is put on the ridge like a ridge and fastened with screws together with the upper part of the last row of boards to the highest batten. This solution is shown in the cross-section of the building. When drilling holes for screws in boards, never drill the hole too close to the corner of the board, because it breaks easily and falls off. The optimal distance between the edges of the hole is 8 do 12 cm.

A qualified roofer can fasten corrugated sheets without drilling holes.

All that remains to finish the casing is to put the skeletons of the rear and front gable wall and nail the sheathing to it. Stairs are then made inside the cottage, arranges the floor of the first floor on top bracing tongs and the ceiling over the attic.

Thus, the building shell is completed.
