Before starting work, I set myself a goal - to build a bathhouse completely independently. Therefore, I chose simple and proven schemes. To begin with, I stopped at the classic strip foundation.
It makes no sense to describe the filling of the foundation in detail - you can find comprehensive information on the Internet. In short: MZLF, rocky soil, burial depth of half a meter, reinforcement: 2 rows from above, 2 from below, concrete M300.
The bath frame was assembled from a bar. As a heater, I chose foil, from the inside the room is sheathed with an inch board. Before using the boards, it was necessary to stitch and chamfer them. As a result, it turned out quite light, aesthetically pleasing and completely not costly in financial terms. The windows were bought special - with false bindings. There is a small woodshed in one of the corners of the bath.
The bath plan includes three rooms: a relaxation room, a sink and a steam room. Lounge area 3 * 4 meters insulated with sheets of stone wool. The plank walls are covered with a special antiseptic. Larch was used as the material for the ceiling sheathing. Now this room is in its "intermediate state" - in the future I decided to sheathe it with an imitation of timber, if my hands reach it. A brilliant samovar became the highlight of the room.
The sink has a space of 2 * 3 meters. The walls were sheathed with aspen clapboard, the "pie" of insulation was created according to the same scheme as in the rest room. The distillation was waxed on both sides to prevent fading. I assembled the bench myself, and for aesthetics I hung three symmetrical birch brooms over it.
The water supply in the bath works through a system of polypropylene pipes. Its highest point is on the roof, pipes are laid out from it in two directions: one leads to the bathhouse, and the second to the well. Connection to the well is made using a flexible hose. When the hose is disconnected from the well, water flows in both directions. As a result, the pipes are dry, so the bath can be used both in winter and in summer.
I decided to sheathe the steam room with aspen clapboard. Lighting wiring runs through the ceiling to keep the wires out of moisture. The shelves purchased for the room are made of birch (in my opinion, the optimal type of wood for a bath).
The stove is divided into two compartments: the first is intended for washing (there is a stainless steel tank with water in it), the second is for the steam room (there are stones in it).
The bath was excellent and fully met my expectations. It is not a shame to drink tea in it, and steam from the heart. The steam room looks to the south, so there is enough light from the window to visit the bathhouse without a lamp on fine days.
Now I try to come to the dacha as often as possible so that there is a reason to take a steam bath. Sometimes I call my friends with me, and, of course, I agitate household members.
