Beekeeper Beginner - A Few Thoughts - Part 13 - First roof

Greetings, friends!

It is great to be in nature and see wonderful clouds that smoothly float in the blue sky, but when you build a house, you dream to see the roof of your house.

It will still take a long time before I see the ridge of the roof, but the feeling that there is a roof over my head appeared at different stages of construction.

Before pouring concrete in the monolithic belt, we covered the basement with standard, reinforced concrete floor slabs and began to prepare the framework of the site, above the entrance to the basement.

In a previous publication, you saw two concrete columns that should support this reinforced concrete platform.

Here, you can see the distance between the jumpers in the monolithic belt, this is an important point, the result of calculations of the resistance of materials.

As the walls grew, unexpected work appeared. as it turned out, I would need to fill up a huge amount with clay and sand.

This is really a big, expensive part. But, there was a good moment. When we dug up the basement, I saved most of the clay, it will go on leveling the floors.

We can safely say that, the assembly of frames, very often, this, jewelry work, not every specialist can cope with it perfectly.

When you covered the basement with plates, I saw the first roof, above my head. This was the first utility room where I could store building materials.

I quickly ordered steel doors in the workshop for entering the basement, in two days, they were ready and installed.

Near my site there is a lake. This is a good place to think about bees, about further construction, sometimes, to distract ourselves from all these thoughts and catch fish.

A charge of fresh, positive emotions is very necessary in critical moments of construction.

To be continued!
