Do-it-yourself country house made of chipboard. How to build a small country house with your own hands (47 photos): construction methods

It is the dream of any city dweller to have a house outside the city, where one can take a break from the bustle of the city and breathe fresh air. One day spent in such a place gives you a supply of energy for the entire working week. But not everyone can afford to have such a house.

In this case, people with a limited budget can either buy a ready-made frame garden house or build a garden house with their own hands.

If you decide to buy a ready-made small country house, then there is currently a large selection of such houses on the construction market. There are options for small frame houses that are perfect for placing them on a summer cottage, in a garden or in any place for organizing active recreation.

These frame houses are well insulated, so you can save on heating them, since the costs are minimal.

Large houses are perfect for the role of a country cottage. Companies that manufacture garden houses not only offer ready-made houses, but can also build a house according to the customer’s individual design.

Below are examples of finished houses.

There are many options for using these houses as garden houses, fishing houses, and for equipment. To make the houses that are presented below, wood was used that was treated with special means, so they are highly durable, reliable, environmentally friendly and durable.

Depending on the size, a frame garden house can have different purposes. A small house can be used as storage space for storing household equipment. It is possible to make a house to order according to an individual project.

Selection of materials and step-by-step construction

Before you start building a frame garden house with your own hands, it is important to think about what materials will be used and calculate the required quantity. To build a frame house, you need to prepare the following building materials:

timber for constructing the frame;
edged board;
insulation;
polyurethane foam;
roofing felt;
hydro- and vapor barrier;
fastening material.

For a lightweight frame structure, you can use a columnar foundation. If you build the foundation yourself, the cost of the work will be about 10 thousand rubles. When installing a strip foundation, it will take more time, but the foundation will be more reliable and durable.

The cost of such a foundation will be 15-20 thousand rubles.

The amount of building material for the walls of a frame house depends on the size of the future house. For example, you can take a house 2.8 m high, 10 m long, 8 m wide. Using these parameters, the number of vertical posts for the house frame will be calculated. The perimeter of the house is 36 m.

The racks should be located at a distance of 50 cm from each other. If you use timber with a cross section of 10*15 cm for the racks, then you will need about 4 cubes of timber. To construct the base and the final connection, you will need 3 more cubes, for a total of 7 cubes.
If you use an edged board 3 m long, 15 cm wide and 2.5 cm thick to cover the walls, you will need 4.65 cubic meters of board.
The cost of the frame with walls, partitions, door and window frames will be approximately 70-80 thousand rubles.

You will have to spend about 20-25 thousand rubles on interior decoration with the cost of materials and hired specialists.

Thus, a lightweight frame house for a summer residence will cost about 250-300 thousand rubles.

Having decided to own a country house, you need to decide which house is best to build. You can buy ready-made. The construction market now has a large selection of companies that sell ready-made houses or build according to individual projects to order.

But if you have a little experience in construction work, then you can build a house with your own hands, embodying all your fantasies in it. In addition, you will be able to save on construction costs.

To realize your dream, the ideal option is to build a frame house. Such a house can be erected very quickly, is cheap, and besides, anyone can build it with their own hands.

Garden house design

Usually we build frame garden houses either from plywood or timber. Below we will consider both construction options.

From plywood

It is believed that the simplest in assembly and design is a frame country house made of plywood. Its construction lasts literally a week. If you give it a beautiful exterior finish, for example, with wooden lining, then it will have a quite presentable appearance.

The following tools should be prepared:

saw;
screwdriver;
drill;
hammer;
roulette;
building level;
plumb line;
set of screwdrivers and drills.

Materials you need to purchase:

cement and sand;
waterproofing - roofing felt;
4-meter board measuring 5x20 for mounting floors and frame rafters;
4-meter board measuring 5x15 for the construction of load-bearing frame walls;
4-meter board measuring 5x10 for internal partitions;
plywood;
OSB sheets;
mineral wool as a heat insulator;
flooring;
thick board for the floor;
drywall;
fastening material.

Foundation construction. At the beginning of any construction, we build the foundation. Since frame houses are lightweight, a strip or column foundation is suitable for them. For a small garden house it is better to use a pillar foundation. To build the foundation you will need a garden drill. With its help, holes are made about 1.6 m deep in increments of 2 m. Posts are inserted into these holes.

To make the structure stable, a sand cushion about 0.2 m high is made. Before inserting the pillars, it is necessary to waterproof the holes using roofing felt. Cuffs are placed over the holes, and then everything is filled with solution.

Construction of the frame. The basis of the frame is the lower frame. It is carried out with beams along the entire perimeter of the future building. The lower part of the frame and joists should be treated with an antiseptic to protect the wood from fungus and insects.

It is important to protect the wood from rotting by placing a waterproofing layer between the foundation and the wood. Next, vertical supports are installed, which determine the height of the future structure.

You should not make the house too high, as it will be difficult to heat it later.

Thick boards are used to construct the subfloor.

Covering the frame with plywood. When covering walls, it is necessary to perform thermal insulation using insulation. The outside of the house is sheathed with plywood, which is secured with self-tapping screws. Interior finishing is done with plasterboard, plywood, chipboard or fiberboard. Before installing a clean floor, insulation should be done. Linoleum or floorboards can be used as flooring.

Roof installation.

Rafters are installed on the resulting structure. You can install the roof yourself in one day. You can choose any roofing material; it depends on personal preferences and financial capabilities. For the house in question, galvanized iron is suitable.

From timber

The technologies for constructing a frame garden house made of timber and a house made of plywood are similar. Similarly, first of all, the foundation is made: columnar or strip. A columnar foundation is chosen for a small house.

It is possible to use concrete slabs laid on a sand cushion and buried 15 cm into the soil. Roofing felt is laid on the built foundation for waterproofing.

After the foundation, the frame is erected. First, the lower frame and logs are laid on the foundation, then the vertical supports are installed. The construction of the frame takes a little time, but the structure is strong and durable.

There is an option for a garden house with a veranda. To do this, you need to extend the lower logs to the length of the proposed veranda, using additional supports.

The subfloor is laid with thick boards. For thermal insulation, the floor is first covered with insulation, then hydro- and vapor barrier is performed, for example, with glassine. For flooring, you can use thick linoleum or floorboards.

Following the installation of the floor, the walls are made of timber. The connections are fastened with dowels. Insulation is laid between the crowns. Insulation must be done for each layer. Tow or jute can be used as insulation. Then the roof is mounted: braces and timber rafters are installed. At the next stage, the sheathing is carried out with timber and a layer of roofing material is laid.

A country house can be made more attractive if the exterior is finished with siding or wooden paneling.

After the basic work on building a house with your own hands has been completed, you can install windows and doors and move on to interior decoration.

Building a house made of timber takes longer than a house made of plywood, but it is more reliable and durable. Be that as it may, a house built with your own hands will serve you for many years.

In this article we will look at how to build a frame garden house with your own hands on a country plot. It will significantly increase the functionality of your dacha at relatively low financial costs. You only need to perform a few installation steps.

Construction works

Before starting construction work, you should draw up a project for the future house:

Step 1: project

A distinctive feature of a garden frame house is its small size, which is usually 4 by 4 or 6 by 6 meters. You can easily distribute such a small area for household needs yourself.

The following should be noted on the drawing:

Exact dimensions of load-bearing walls and internal partitions.
Hallway, kitchen, living room and bedroom. This is the minimum set of rooms that will allow you to use the building as a full-fledged home.
The location of stationary heavy furniture, as it may require reinforcement underneath.

Advice: if you plan to use the building all year round, then you should immediately include the location of the stove in the design.
This will create a microclimate suitable for living even in winter.

All windows and doors.

Step 2: foundation

When constructing any house, three foundation options are considered:

Taking into account the fact that our project does not have a ground floor or second floor, and the opportunity to save money is always welcome, we opted for a columnar foundation.

Instructions for performing the necessary work:

We apply markings for the location of nine or more, depending on the layout, piles.
We dig holes in the ground one and a half meters deep and twenty centimeters in cross section.

Tip: You can use a drill to create suitable holes in the ground. This way you will complete the task faster and more accurately.

We insert the asbestos pipe so that its edges rise at least 15 cm above the freezing level of the soil.
We fill the bottom with a twenty-centimeter layer of sand cushion.
We lay roofing material inside the pipe walls to create waterproofing.
We install the fittings.
Fill with concrete mortar, the composition of which is shown in the following table:

Ingredient	Ratio
Cement	1
Sand	3
Crushed stone	5
Water	4,5

After the cement has set, you can begin further work.

Step 3: frame

We take a beam with a section of 150 by 100 mm and lay out the lower frame from it along the perimeter of the future building, as well as in the middle at the intersection of rooms.

We drill holes in the timber and concrete, after which we fix the strapping with self-tapping screws and dowels.
We nail the wooden elements together using the “half-wood” type of connection..
Next we install the vertical beams.

From above we connect all the racks together, thus forming the upper frame.
We sheathe the resulting “skeleton” with timber 100 by 100 mm.

Step 4: roofing

A gable roof is best suited for your project, it has an aesthetic appearance and provides excellent protection from precipitation. To create rafters we use beams with a section of 100 by 50 mm. On top we cover the structure with 150 by 25 mm boards and roofing felt sheets.

Step 5: interior decoration

A do-it-yourself frame garden house will not be completed without interior work:

Floor:

We cover the ceiling and walls with clapboard. At the same time, you can also make additional insulation if you plan to come to the dacha in winter.

The final stage is the installation of the necessary communications and... After this, you can safely invite guests to celebrate the completion of construction work.

Conclusion

The presence of a garden house on a country plot allows you to use it for temporary or even permanent residence, full-fledged reception of guests, and storage of household supplies. It will also serve as a base room for builders in the event of a large cottage being built.

And the most important thing is that you can build it on your own without the involvement of specialists, the main thing is to be patient, pay attention and follow the recommendations above. The video in this article will provide you with additional information. Good luck with the installation work!

A novice summer resident who has just bought a plot of land has to... The choice of building materials is made taking into account the financial resources available to the developer. Low-budget projects are built using frame technology borrowed by the Russians from Western builders. Additional savings can be obtained if you build a frame country house with your own hands using one or two assistants paid by the day. This technology for building houses is also attractive due to the speed of assembly of the structure. You can build an object in a few weeks, and after finishing the finishing work, you can begin to operate it. Wall structures, lightweight through the use of modern insulation materials, do not require a powerful foundation. The multi-layer construction of walls, floors and interfloor ceilings makes it possible to hide utility lines.

Let's use the example of a two-story frame house to look at the main stages of its construction with our own hands. The dimensions of the object are 5 by 10 meters. The thickness of the insulation placed in the cells of the wooden frame is 15 cm.

The strip foundation from the previous building remained on the land plot, the dimensions of which were 5 by 7 meters. In order to save materials, the developer decided to use the existing foundation, increasing the area of the house by installing three brick pillars. The result was a combined foundation structure, 5 meters wide and 10 meters long.

Important! When using an old foundation, it is recommended to clear it half a meter deep from the soil around its perimeter. Apply modern waterproofing compounds to the walls, and also protect them from the destructive effects of moisture and temperature changes with hydroglass insulation. Then the space around the foundation is covered with sand, compacted and filled with previously dug soil.

The fertile layer of soil located in the foundation area is completely removed for its intended use on a summer cottage. Instead of this layer, sand is poured, which has good drainage properties. To erect a basement floor, vents are made in the foundation and 9 to 18 holes are drilled, which are necessary to place anchors with studs in them. After all preparatory work is completed, the surface of the foundation is treated with a waterproofing mixture, applied in several layers. Hydraulic glass insulation and film are laid on top of the foundation so that moisture does not penetrate into the base, which is laid out of brick during further work. The height of the base is 1 m.

Stage #2 – installation of the basement floor

The operation of installing the basement floor is carried out using the “platform” technology. A 50-piece board and a 10x15 cm beam are laid on the strip foundation. Two beams are attached to the brick pillars side by side. To fasten wooden parts, use studs mounted in advance for these purposes. To add rigidity to the structure of the basement floor, it is necessary to install two more beams in the center of the house. Thus, the height of the harness is 15 cm.

50 boards are laid and secured on top of the frame, maintaining a distance of 60 cm between them. A subfloor is filled from the bottom of this structure, using boards 25 mm thick. The resulting cells are filled with polystyrene foam, laid in two layers 5 and 10 cm thick. The gaps between the foam plastic and the boards are filled with polyurethane foam, after which a ceiling of boards (50x300 mm) is placed on top.

The installation of the base for the construction of the platform is made from timber using anchors with studs fixed in the foundation of the house

Laying foam plastic slabs for insulating the floor of a frame house is accompanied by mandatory foaming of the tile joints and cracks located between the material and the joists

Stage #3 – construction of racks and walls

The walls are assembled on the horizontal surface of the assembled floor of the frame house. Then the modules are attached to the lower frame, made of timber. The length of the first floor racks was 290 cm, taking into account the installation of a 45 cm crossbar. The height of the ceilings of the premises on the first floor is 245 cm. The second floor is built a little lower, and therefore racks 260 cm long are taken. It is very difficult to install the frame racks alone, so an assistant is hired to do this work. Within a week, the installation of corner and intermediate posts of both floors, all ceilings and crossbars is carried out.

Important! The connection of the corner posts with the upper and lower trim is made using 5x5x5 cm tenons, as well as metal connectors: staples, plates, angles, etc. Make sure that within the same wall the surfaces of the corner and intermediate posts are in the same plane. Compliance with this requirement will facilitate the future installation of the cladding, both internal and external.

Installation of the frame of the walls of a two-story country house is carried out by installing racks, strengthening their position with the help of slopes and horizontal crossbars

The distance between adjacent frame posts depends on the width of the insulation chosen for installation in the walls. Taking this requirement into account will save the developer from the need to cut the insulation, which will affect not only the speed of this stage of work, but also the thermal insulation of the facility as a whole. After all, any additional seams increase heat loss. In this project, the racks were installed at a distance of 60 cm from each other.

Stage #4 – strengthening the frame and assembling crossbars

Wall frames need reinforcement through the installation of struts and braces. The role of these elements is great, as they give spatial rigidity to the frame of the house. A frontal notch is used when connecting struts with racks and strapping bars. A half-frying cut is used when attaching braces. Although this operation can be carried out using nails and bolts. Within one wall of a frame house it is necessary to install at least two struts. A larger number of these parts are taken if excessive demands are made on the strength rigidity of the frame being built. The final rigidity of the frame structure will be given by:

floors;
internal partitions;
external and internal cladding.

When constructing a two-story country house with the need to install large-area floors, it is necessary to take care of the installation of crossbars. Thanks to the crossbars, it is possible to ensure the strength and rigidity of the joists laid on the second floor, and also to eliminate the possibility of their deflection throughout the entire life of the structure. At this facility, the crossbar is constructed in layers, each of which consists of three 50 mm boards of the required length, fastened on the sides with 25 mm boards, launched at an angle of 45 degrees and directed in opposite directions. The design is very durable and reliable.

Crossbar support in the frame structure. The crossbar is necessary for laying the second floor joists involved in the installation of a durable floor

The installation of horizontal crossbars is carried out above the frames of windows and doors, thereby limiting the height of the frame in these places. These elements, along with their main function, serve as additional amplifiers in the power circuit of the wooden frame. It is necessary to install two crossbars for each window opening, and one for door openings.

Stage #5 - installation of the roof truss system

The construction of the roof is carried out according to a drawing developed in advance by the developer. The drawing allows you to accurately calculate all the necessary building materials for the installation of the roof truss system, as well as the materials used for the installation of the roofing pie (rough coating, vapor barrier, waterproofing, finishing coating, etc.). The installation of a roof consisting of four bevels running at an angle of 45 degrees can be completed in a week by two people and an assistant. The height of the roof above the attic floor is 150 cm. The rough covering of the slopes is made of 25 mm boards. Then ICOPAL insulation is attached to the rough covering, and in some places it is replaced with ordinary roofing felt, nailed to the base with nails (40 mm).

Installation of a rafter system for the selected type of roof and laying a rough covering from edged boards with a thickness of 25 mm

Stage #6 – covering the external walls of the frame

All frame posts are sheathed on the outside with “inch” boards, the thickness of which is 25 mm and the width is 100 mm. In this case, part of the sheathing is attached to the frame at an angle, which makes the structure of the house even stronger. If the developer is not short on funds, then it is better to make the cladding from cement-bonded particle boards (CPB) or other board material. When carrying out work in cold weather, it is recommended to cover the roof and window openings with polyethylene film until the installation of double-glazed windows and the finishing roof covering.

Installation of external cladding begins from the front side of the house, then moves to the sides and finishes the work on the back wall, sparingly using lumber

Stage #7 – roofing and siding installation

The roof of a two-story frame house is covered with flexible bitumen shingles “Tegola Alaska”. When performing work, a hired worker is also involved. For the entire roof area of a house of 5 by 10 meters, 29 packs of soft roofing are needed. Each pack is designed to cover 2.57 square meters of roof. Two workers can lay up to six packs of soft roofing per day.

To carry out the external cladding of the house, siding produced by Mitten is purchased. With the help of skillfully combined Ivory and Gold colors, it is possible to give an unusual design to a two-story country house. Mitten Gold siding is used to finish the four corners of the house, as well as the walls under the windows. As a result, it is possible to obtain an interesting pattern that gives an unusual and stylish look to the entire structure. Facing is carried out in several steps:

before installing the siding, the house is “wrapped” with Izospan wind protection;
then fill the sheathing using 50x75 boards (step – 37 cm, thickness of the ventilation gap – 5 cm);
they are fixed in the corners with dimensions of 50x150 mm;
Afterwards, the siding is directly attached in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Installation of the external cladding of a house from siding is carried out within a few days by two workers using a metal frame purchased in a store or rented

Stage #8 - laying insulation and internal lining

Insulation of the walls of a two-story frame house is carried out from the inside using padding polyester mats and rolls of the Shelter EcoStroy brand. The rolled material fits between the frame posts without unnecessary joints, to which it is attached with a construction stapler. It is recommended to fix the insulation to the frame parts so that the material does not settle during the operation of the house. To insulate the attic floor, ecowool is used, which differs from other types of insulation due to its increased sound insulation properties.

For the internal cladding of a wooden frame, tongue and groove boards are purchased, which are nailed to the posts so that a flat wall plane is obtained. It is forbidden to allow gaps between the cladding parts, otherwise the walls will be blown through. Next, sheets of plasterboard are attached to a flat wall and covered with wallpaper. Drywall can be replaced with fiberboards or other sheet materials.

Laying of the selected insulation into the cells of a wooden frame is done from the inside of the room, while the joints of the padding polyester boards are glued with construction tape

List of consumables and tools

The following tools were used in the construction of a frame country house:

Hitachi 7MFA circular saw;
alligator saw PEL-1400;
planer Bort 82;
building level;
screwdriver;
hammer, etc.

The materials used were timber, edged boards, tongue and groove boards, plasterboard, insulation, fastening elements: nails, screws, metal connectors, etc. Double-glazed windows from Rehau were installed in the window openings. All wooden parts were treated with Snezh BIO antiseptic. The construction of this facility requires the construction of scaffolding, as well as the purchase of metal frames.

Knowing how difficult it is to build a country house with your own hands, you can consciously decide to start work. Perhaps in your case it is easier to find a team of builders who know first-hand about the construction of frame houses.

The topic of this article is building a garden house with your own hands. We are about to get acquainted with the main aspects of the construction of a very specific design - a frame house with insulated walls on a columnar foundation, covered with bitumen shingles.

Design selection

Why did we choose this particular project?

Frame walls filled with insulation provide effective thermal insulation at minimal cost. In addition, they will easily tolerate minor deformation when.

Let us clarify: some alternative solutions (for example, sip panels) guarantee better insulation with greater structural rigidity.
However, when using them, the costs of building or rebuilding a garden house will increase noticeably.

A columnar foundation again means minimal costs with a small amount of excavation work. All alternatives are more complicated and more expensive. Yes, this type of foundation has a low load-bearing capacity; however, the mass of the frame structure is more than small.
Bituminous shingles laid on a continuous board are attractive due to the complete absence of noise in rainy weather.. Not only that: the shield under it will significantly simplify thermal insulation work.

So let's get started.

Foundation

The construction of garden houses, like any other, begins with marking and laying the foundation.

Since the material for covering the wall frame will be OSB (oriented strand board), which has standard dimensions of 2500x1200 mm, it would be logical to make the length of each wall a multiple of the smaller of its dimensions: 3.6, 4.8 meters, etc.

The maximum step between support pillars should not exceed 2 meters. This applies not only to the perimeter: internal partitions must rest on their own supports.

After the position of the supports is marked, we proceed to their construction:

We dig out pits approximately 50x50 cm in size and at least half a meter deep.
We fill each of them with crushed stone. The height of the bedding is 20 cm.
We compact the crushed stone using a hand tamper.
We form a concrete pad 10 cm thick on top of the bedding. The grade of concrete is M100. When mixing yourself, you can focus on the following proportions of the materials that make up concrete (in terms of one cubic meter):

Strength grade	Cement M400, kg	Crushed stone, kg	Sand, kg	Water, l
M100	210	1080	870	210
M150	235	1080	855	210
M200	286	1080	795	210
M250	332	1080	750	215
M300	282	1080	705	220

We lay out red brick columns on cement mortar, the size of a brick or one and a half. A piece of 14 mm reinforcement is placed in the middle of the column, onto which we will anchor the grillage.

Please note: the height of the grillage (and, accordingly, the pillars) must be at least +25 cm from the ground level.
The columns are projected into the horizon due to the thickness of the seams.
From above, each pillar is waterproofed with two layers of roofing felt.

Floor

Grillage

The grillage material is larch, a wood that is extremely resistant to rotting. Section - 150 mm. The beam is drilled where it will sit on the anchor; in the corners the grillage is connected into half a tree.

Lags

They will be boards 50x150 mm with a pitch of 60 cm, placed on edge.

The material of the lag in this case does not matter much: inexpensive pine is quite suitable. The logs can be attached directly to the grillage beam with galvanized corners using galvanized self-tapping screws.

Insulation

The construction of garden houses used for living in early spring and late autumn implies their insulation.

Among other things, the floor will also need to be insulated.

Cranial bars are packed along the bottom of the logs.
Flooring made of boards 20-25 mm thick is laid on them.
On top there is a layer of vapor barrier.
Then the space between the joists is filled with mineral wool.

A waterproofing film is laid over the joists.

The flooring, made from 40mm tongue-and-groove boards, is laid after the frame is constructed.

Walls

Frame

Corner posts and top trim are made of 100x100 mm timber; fastening - with galvanized corners already familiar to us. During the construction of the frame, the racks are strengthened by bevels; The structure will reach full rigidity after sheathing. Material for intermediate posts and crossbars - 50x100 board.

Attention: window and door openings are covered with boards around the entire perimeter.

Sheathing

Sheets of 12 mm OSB are fastened with galvanized self-tapping screws 51 - 55 mm long in increments of no more than 25 cm. The joints of the sheets should fall exclusively on the racks.

By the way: if you foam the joint before screwing in the screws, the walls will be noticeably warmer.

Insulation

The vapor barrier is laid under the insulation on the side of the outer skin; its second layer covers the insulation from the inside after the mineral wool mats are installed spaced between the posts. They are sewn up from the inside later, during the interior finishing process.

Roof and attic

Building a garden house with your own hands does not end with the construction of walls: we have to build a roof.

We lay ceiling beams (50x100 boards placed on edge) on top of the top trim. We fasten them with corners. The step is the same 60 cm as for the racks.
We place rafters from the same board on the corners. We connect each pair of rafters with a horizontal jumper on a stud. For temporary fastening of the rafter system, we again use jibs.

We construct gable frames with lining of skylights and entrance.
We cover the roof (including the gables) with 15 mm OSB sheets and cover it with a tile backing.
We cover the attic floor on top of the pre-laid vapor barrier with a board - edged or tongue-and-groove, depending on whether the attic will be used.
We install mineral wool slabs between the ceiling beams and use a stapler to fasten the vapor barrier from below.
If it is necessary to insulate the attic, we carry out similar operations under the roof.
We cover the roof with bitumen shingles. The sheets are fastened with galvanized nails.

A country house can only be the first stage of a new life surrounded by nature. Behind it it is quite possible to master the construction of a large cottage. A one-story frame country house is the best option for those who want to have convenient and comfortable economy-class housing, built with their own hands. Such a structure can be erected in just one season.

Foundation for a summer residence

The boards are securely attached to the roof frame and to the roof ridge. The distance between them can reach one meter.

The crossbars, in a checkerboard pattern, attach the ramp boards. The crossbars are located half a meter apart from each other.

Sheathing

The outside of the house is sheathed, with panels or - at the choice and taste of the owner.

Self-construction of country frame houses is an inexpensive, rewarding and extremely rewarding activity. Preliminary calculations and planning of upcoming work greatly facilitate the construction process, reducing the possibility of errors to a minimum.
