Here are the weekend, and all city residents together go into the forest with a tent, relax in nature and replenish health reserves with fresh air. Having reached out and relaxing well there, they go back to the city, to get to work with renewed vigor.
But let’s say that not everyone can get to nature on the weekend, well, a maximum of once a month due to excessive workload, it will not work to relax there, but rather, on the contrary, the road there and back will only aggravate the situation. And then a crazy thought comes, and why not to move to the forest to live, to build a house there and live for yourself, relaxing and enjoying nature and if you bake to return to the city when it really needs.
What you need to remember if you have chosen just such an option for your future home! Lighting in the forest is special, no, it is not dark there, only direct sunlight rarely get there, and the “sliding” light itself tells us that the windows are needed largely on the entire width of the walls, with shutters for better safety.
It is also advisable to add light to the house through the slots in the roof, only such slots require a lot of care through the fact that they are stuffed with leaves in the fall and snow in winter (therefore the roof must be pitiful). It is impossible to make a house completely from glass, heat loss will be huge, for example, 300 kV. m. At home, with conventional windows, this is up to 6 tons of diesel fuel every season for heating, and if you increase the windows in the walls by 2 times, then it will be necessary from 7 tons. The ideal option for the house is to place the window so that the air does not bring water vapor on them, provoking condensation. Only nature is not to help us here and it is not easy to find such places, so we just put Fankeels in the right places that will save from excessive condensate.
The relief in the forest allows you to make miracles in architectural plan, if the site for the house is uneven, this is good for the natural drainage of water. If, on the contrary, the site is straight, then it is advisable to make the foundation from the piles (you can read about the foundation from screw piles in this article “Foundation – screw pile.”) Or waterproofing the basement. For greater preservation and protection against decay, the first floor can be made of stone, and the second is already completed from wood.
