Attic hut
Hut in an attic: here is an invitation to dream in an attic of 30 m2 fitted out in a universe about hut. This construction, in poplar for the dressing and in pine for beams, to work in for advantage to replace plasterboard and so to preserve a weight reduces on the beams of the lower level (approximately 200/250 KG max for the set).
Moreover, in a country house, it will avoid the use of modern materials when we can not rely on the stone.
The opportunity to carve out the windows and doors ... zénithal lighting is provided by a velux and we can add days thick glass on the floor levels.
:::Night atmosphere.
The wooden walls are not built up the structure, they leave the impression of space in the attic, giving rise to a small mezzanine. The beams are used and suggest a natural presence around the hut.
:::The interior of the hut.

Resting area
Always clear an atmosphere due to the use of poplar planks. This wood will start to yellow and to give a patina in time.
::: Overview: pine, chestnut and poplar.

Old wooden floor
If you are lucky enough to come across a small house vine or one of those many small cottages of our campaigns, rarely exceeding levels by the 12m2, it is possible that you still, it all depends on the condition of the roof, old floor in a poor state that will be in your eyes a property, a precious relic to be saved.

1) RENOVATE THE FLOOR
But it is not easy to sand these planks distorted nor fun to take constant dust on the ground floor through bouvetages who have lived well.
Of course to clean the floor, the parquet ponçeuse can overcome. The problem is that in some places, the floor will end as clope paper. The tool to use is the angle grinder (an ergonomic design and good quality. Métabo is top) mounted with a floppy plastic to withstand the abrasive grain 36 (disc brown). These produce dust, and we must protect with cartridges masks, coveralls, goggles, and gloves. In short the total. A coup d'abrasive on the hand does not heal before long. To finish the 80 grain orbital sander.
2) JOINT A WOODEN FLOOR
The idea comes from the technical bridge sailboat and thus to overcome these bouvetages somewhat large, you will be able to make polyurethane cords. We used the 290 DC Sikaflex home and it works well with planks of 15 cm wide. To get a gauge of bouvetages maxi, it is highly preferable to the operation in late summer with a floor dry.
3) CLEANING AND FILLING IN THE GROOVE
To clean the grooves of the floor all your tips will be useful. A saw, pieces of abrasives of the grinder well rigid: a grain 80 for example. Quite a lot of patience. Then transition from primary Sika and poses a fine string into the groove (covers joint proposed by Sika not very practical). This cord should work with wood on 2 sides, as a resilient, if stick to the bottom on 3 sides, therefore, there is a risk that it cracks ... See diagram.
Then you need to hide (on paper and large cache right) edge grooves and send the polyurethane spray (a pistol provide good quality and easy because the Sika is not). Smooth with a spatula and off quickly paper cache. Provide large bags to put waste because it stain life ...
/ Relatively discreet once completed.
For finishing, oil is prosecutorial practice, the appearance of the raw wood hue satisfactory. Knowing that more wood is sanded end, the more the color will remain clear with the passage of a protection.
