But if it is designed at a time when the house is already built, you can be puzzled by this work yourself. Accompanied by such work, as a rule, three phases:
- Creation of the base under a canopy for a country house.
- Creating walls.
- Finishing work.
Creation of the basement under a verandah for a country house. There are two options for the foundation for the construction of photos of the veranda in the country - this is a deep strip foundation and a foundation on the basis of pillars.
