At the moment, the construction of wooden buildings is becoming increasingly popular in almost all areas of our vast country. Nevertheless, the use of wood in the form of building material has a number of nuances that should be taken into account so that the structure is reliable, warm and durable. Great material for construction is a larch. It is much stronger and denser than aspen, and is also more resistant to moisture. Nevertheless, such wood is more difficult to process and is easily split. Moreover, it is much more expensive than aspen. Quite often, only a series of lower crowbar crowns are built from larch, since it is they who have to be located in the most humid environment. The construction of wooden buildings is also carried out from spruce. But such material has a significantly larger number of knots than aspen, the material is more strongly subjected to decay processes and gives more cracks. Cedar is rarely used in the form of building material, the soft wood of which is easily processed processes. When purchasing wood for the construction of a house, you should make sure that its quality. A beam or logs should not have bends and a big difference in the diameter of the barrel between the comleus and the top. The material should be without blue, mold and rot. In order to verify the absence of decay of the material, you should attach the ear to one end of the material and ask someone to slightly knock with a hammer in the second end. A log of good quality will make a sound that looks like a deaf drum. A significant part of the forest intended for the construction of houses is harvested in winter. This is due to the fact that the heavy equipment can reach in the wilderness of distant plots only in the winter, when the chances of getting stuck on forest roads are reduced. The real advantage of winter material is a gentle drying mode, which is characteristic of the cold season, as well as the lack of the possibility of infection of the material in need of propagation in the warmth with spores of wood fungus. For these reasons, the material that was prepared precisely in the winter is more suitable for construction processes.
