    I am engaged in repair of a small old country house.

    Hi!
    I'm from Russia (I hope you will not have problems because of this ). I am engaged in repair of a small old country house - in Russian "Dacha". I have not done this before, and I have no experience of such work. My main job is the repair and maintenance of computers.
    So it looks like "Dacha":

    And looks like at night:

    So it was before the repair:

    Start of repair - steel channel bar is installed:

    During the repair:
    I am engaged in repair of a small old country house.-dacha-04.jpgI am engaged in repair of a small old country house.-dacha-05.jpgI am engaged in repair of a small old country house.-dacha-06.jpg

    Finished work at home:
    - replacement of decayed lower wooden beams, the floor is laid on them.
    - to strengthen the bearing structure of the house there are two steel channels 20 feet long each
    - insulated floor with mineral wool 6 inches thick
    - insulated the walls of the house with mineral wool 4 inches thick
    - water supply to the house, washing with a tap and washing machine
    - plastic windows with double-glazed windows are installed
    Now I'm doing interior decoration of premises and assembling furniture.

    Interested in tools for hand milling, electric plane and others for woodworking.

    Thank you for your reply!
    What kind of construction has not yet been decided. But you will probably need a table with a guide for a circular saw.
    Another 4 days ago I did not even have a workbench, I worked on chairs or on the floor, laying scraps of boards. And now I bought the Black&Decker WM825 now I master work with it.
    And 2 days ago, unexpectedly bought a dishwasher. In the house lives a mother, she is 70 years old and already hard to stand washing dishes. This led to a complete revision of the plan for arranging furniture in the kitchen. In the morning, he was engaged in arranging and connecting the equipment to the water supply. I come to my mother only on weekends, so the work is not moving very quickly.
