Stone delivered to the construction site, you can begin to sort...
The calculation of the amount of rubble stone for the construction of the basement of the house, he brought that up to 40 lm It takes about 8 tons. But since there are plans and a gazebo and barbecue, then do not hesitate - brought a full KAMAZ, which amounted to 15 tons.
Bought fraction 300-500 stone, but to be honest, half-meter was very small, the lion's share took a trifle fractions 200-300. And in the future it help me out, because small stones look very beautiful in the masonry among large boulders.
After layout I installed beacons at the corners of the future house and pulled in the same plane two fishing line on the bottom and top. By thus laying plane defined beacons, because the use of a spirit level is not justified in view of the convexities and concavities stone.
To understand the configuration and color of stones, I spread them along the foundation in the same plane.
During the laying process, the layout very quickly helps to orient and find boulder desired configuration, since the erection of walls - is required bandaging of stones, similar to bricklaying.
Before the first batch of masonry mortar made of stone fit in size and faces along the foundation, to appreciate the beauty of hand - he began to batch.
The proportions of the mixture are:
- 1 part cement;
- 3 parts sand;
- plasticizer-3 (proportions recommended on the package);
- 0.6 parts of water.
Important!
As used solution should be slightly dryish unlike the composition used for the brickwork, because granite stone completely does not absorb water due to its monolithic structure, and masonry mixture was stirred for half an hour always remains in one plastic condition!
Beginners masons recommend using shoes with hard noses! During the construction we have to move quickly through the scattered rocks and stumble them.
At ambient temperature, 20-25 ° C mortar begins to show signs of seizure in 3-4 hours, just at this time and needs to produce sweep seams metal brush.
To form the weld depth of 10-20 mm. quite a few times to hold a wire brush on each side of the stone, clearing it.
After this operation - stones remain adhering pieces of masonry mixture, and welds - neat, smooth and correct depth.
My advice on a stone laying:
- Try to within one batch every stone laid in different places, not allowing more in common between them, and the more they overlay each other. If the solution has not had time to grab, the lower float stones that entail repeated effort.
- Use a hammer or pickaxe to fit the stones to each other, because they do not always rocks the desired configuration. (Conviction based on personal experience, as the right stone, you can search for a half hour or more, and unnecessary splits the edge with a hammer, the correct form is achieved in a few minutes).
- Grind stone and seams depending on the setting of the solution. (In each region, the cement of varying quality and composition, so after a couple of hours, anyone will understand at what point to start the formation of the joint). From my own experience I say one thing: I was trying to overwrite early, resulting in a solution of smearing around the stone, and later - when I had a hammer and chisel to spend half a day on this matter.
- At the beginning Collect masonry stones, the angle of the two planes of which is from 80 ° to 100 °. Then say to yourself, thank you, for what escaped the hand of their formation, as corner stones come across quite a bit. Forming the angle of such stones necessarily with ligation (see. following figure).
- At the beginning of masonry, use large boulders, which can be rolled on the foundation and put on a solution, it is rational and very beautiful!
The costs of masonry plinth:
- Crushed stone 15 tons with delivery -. 12000 p.
- Cement 4 mesh. M500 - 1 200r.
- Sand - 800 p.
- Plasticizer - 500 p.
- Other stuff (fishing line, screws) - 300 p.
Total: 14 800 p.
Good luck building!
