It is hard to imagine a country without a good portion of the bathhouse. Even the smallest, but it must necessarily be, since it is not just a medical facility, where you can bathe after the garden work. This is a place for peace and calm of the secret rites, meditation and companionship. In short, the room - it's not just purgatory. And comfort is very important to her. Bath furnishings - is an integral part of the very comfortable conditions. It is important to everything: furniture, equipment, and accessories. The highest requirements for the steam, particularly those surfaces on which there is floating mystery. Thus, the shelves in the steam room - what should they be?

Unexpected, but quite the right answer to this question is given a simple Russian girl, Tatiana Borsch, who made their own hands and sent a detailed picture of the process to the editor HouseChief.

Greetings to all readers! bathhouse I have in the country absolutely tiny. I built it even my grandfather. Do not want to say it and to faithfully serve more than a dozen years, but here are some things in her look, in my opinion, is too spartan. For example, the shelves in the steam room, made of solid aspen timber. They still serve a hundred years, however, whether the time, or the temperature, the boards of these long "run up" to different heights. Sit on these benches and, moreover, lie - even uncomfortable. So conceived, I correct them, with all the use of the same material.

I understand, my grandmother is crying

Surprisingly, the most difficult moment in all of this turned out to be a blessing to my grandmother. That only I had heard: and that bathhouse is the memory of his grandfather, and that I will break down, and there will be nobody to repair, and so on and so forth. I love my granny as she did so, in the end, we found a common language with her. She agreed, taking with me promise that if I have something does not work, I'll hire a neighbor Mikhailovich, who fix everything.

Pull them from the stands was not a problem, but learn from the bath proved to be impossible. I do not know how they wrote down my grandfather, but I had to take a radical solution.

That's all my difficulties and over. Relatives went to the house to drink Corvalol, and I finally got to work.

I am a supporter of a clear plan, so that after the liberation of the old bath benches were made careful measurements and prepared a model for future construction.

The first stage - rack

Shelves in the bath should be placed at different heights. Uppermost, where hotter all - almost to the ceiling. And it is very important that they are sustainable. Still, in the steam room - burning hot stove, God forbid that the fall may happen trouble. So that old desk I had to throw it away, hope they were not enough, they rotted in places, and in general seemed unimportant. For new racks I bought good bar Pyaterochka, without cracking and chipping were selected personally.

Boards for shelves: dissolve the aspen timber

When I was busy with antique timbers, I was constantly haunted: how old is he? I must say that, in contrast to the rack, it is perfectly preserved. Perhaps racks were from another timber. But the aspen perfectly withstood the test of time, and a steam room. She darkened only from above, and my treatment again opened its best side.

The ideal grinding is very important, because these boards will be in contact with the body. There should be no burr or knots.

Voila: the final assembly

Now I had everything ready, and, best of all, no one bothered me. Grandma died away in the house, so I was not distracted.

When I finished, she called Grandma, and she left the house with a plate of cakes. My work is appreciated perfectly well, and said that now it's my room. My room - my shelves. For "gospriomki" I was invited and Mikhalych. He, too, I put the "five". That's what has been my experience, and I hope that you decide on something like that, I'm on the right!

Tatiana really coped just fine. And her photos - a direct proof. Everything is done correctly - and sturdy rack, and well-crafted boards for shelves. There's not much to add.
