Having your own plot of land and not building a bathhouse is bad manners. Even in small garden plots, where due to greenhouses and beds there was no place to place a full-fledged house, our man always found a place for a Russian bath. What can we say about full-size land plots of the individual housing construction category.
3x4 bath layout showing all sizes
Where space does not allow building a large bathhouse, a log house with dimensions of 3 * 4 is erected, and if there are no restrictions on area, then you can aim at a two-story large house. Moreover, any bathhouse layout will include the most basic things - a steam room, a wash room and a dressing room in various variations. The remaining rooms are optional.
Olga Seryabkina
“Soup from Olenka” is what fans called the shot demonstrated by Olga Seryabkina (now Molly). Not long ago, the singer admitted that she was introduced to a bathhouse for the first time and was completely delighted! To confirm this, there is a photo in which Olga enjoys swimming in a vat of herbs and pine branches. And at the same time it shows off its appetizing forms (where would we be without this?).
Fans, however, remained intrigued: who photographed Seryabkina in the bathhouse? Some believe that it is Maxim Fadeev himself, with whom Olga allegedly has a long-term affair.

Returning from the bathhouse, Galina threw the basin into the corner with anger. Oleg, of course, knew what he would hear next, so he automatically lowered his head into his shoulders and, just in case, covered himself with a newspaper in anticipation of the next debriefing about the ill-fated bathhouse.
They got this wreck at one time along with the house. And at the same time a couple of sheds, which my wife was not particularly interested in. At least for now, thank God. But, unfortunately, she always only dreamed of a real Russian steam room. Therefore, as soon as it became clear that the bathhouse was practically unsuitable for its intended purpose due to terrible disrepair, “bathhouse scandals” began in the family, as Oleg called them. To himself, of course, because he understood perfectly well that Galina was right, and he could have found the time long ago to take care of this unfortunate building, bring it into decent shape, pleasing the woman he loved. And who cares if he himself hates steaming? The family did not accept such excuses.
- And when do you think about doing the renovation? Once again some rubbish fell on my head. What I washed, what I didn’t wash! – the wife was clearly waiting for an answer and was not going to back down.
Oleg had to put the newspaper aside:
- Darling, well... You understand that we need to order building materials, hire workers, and in general, can’t we just be patient?
The blush from the steam room somehow very quickly disappeared from his wife’s cheeks, and Oleg realized that his answer was not the most successful.
- So that’s how it is? – she was clearly holding back her rage, “At first it was winter, and it was cold for you to take a bath.” Then spring - and it was damp. Now, apparently, it is too hot to buy materials and hire a couple of workers. What if the ceiling collapses on my head one day? Will you be glad that you no longer have to deal with all this and will get a new wife who doesn’t go to the bathhouse?
Oleg, of course, could laugh it off, but he understood perfectly well that the result could be unpredictable. Besides, all his excuses were already starting to look ridiculous. And, of course, he didn’t want a new wife, even one who hated all these baths and steam rooms.
“Gal, I’ll think of something, I promise!” – with the most humble look of which he was capable, Oleg answered, “Well, just let’s not in the next few days.” Otherwise I still have a lot of problems to sort out at work. The boss is angry as hell, he wants us to submit all the reports in the coming days. Just be patient for a little while, a week, no more, and I’ll start the repairs.
Galina clearly cooled down a little when she heard the clear deadlines:
“Okay, I’ll believe you, but keep in mind that how our personal relationships will develop depends on the speed of fulfillment of the promise.” By the way, I read here that the steam room has a surprisingly beneficial effect on male strength and more.
- So that’s where we had to start! – Oleg laughed.
Popular story:
- Maaaama!!! The daughter’s scream was still in my ears, tearing my eardrums
- Well, I didn’t think of something right away! - Galya ran up to her husband and kissed him tenderly, - Come on, finish with your reports and fix the bathhouse for your beloved wife!
The passions for the bathhouse subsided, which Oleg was immensely happy about. He returned to reading his nightly newspaper, and his satisfied wife ran off to cook. Having prepared dinner, Galina shouted loudly from the kitchen:
“It’s time for you to eat and wash the dishes, by the way.” - But noticing the sour expression of Oleg as he entered, she added. - That’s it, keep quiet, eat calmly, so today I’ll wash it myself. Advance payment for the bath.
Oleg adored his wife - she could scold and be harsh, but she was definitely not one of those grumpy and always dissatisfied wives about whom some of his friends and colleagues so often complained. Her rather strict disposition was surprisingly combined with incredible charm, a wonderful sense of humor and gave her that very zest for which he once fell in love with his Galya. They had just finished dinner and sat down to watch their favorite science fiction series when someone knocked on the window. Oleg looked out: standing on the street was the public’s favorite and the main weirdo of their village, as well as his friend from school, Vitek.
- Wow, Vitek, why are you so late? - Oleg was surprised, - Did your wife kick you out to get some air?
He chuckled:
- Yes, I haven’t drunk for five days, well. Why are you clinging? That’s what I came in, come out, let’s get up and sit, there’s a deal worth a million.
Oleg turned to his wife:
“I’ll go out to Vitka for half an hour, no more, you won’t even have time to get bored!” And don’t even think about watching the series any further without me!
Galina rolled her eyes, but waved her hand in agreement. Oleg quickly put on his windbreaker and left the house. Immediately, an excited Vityok jumped up to him right from the porch and dragged him towards the gazebo, tightly clutching his sleeve.
- Such a thing, Oleg! Everyone's business! I come to you first, as to my best friend. You'll probably go crazy when I tell you!
Oleg sighed heavily, but realized that there was no point in resisting anyway, and he would obviously have to listen to his old comrade. Vitka’s deeds, as everyone knew, were always grandiose and the most ingenious: for example, collecting road signs around the village and selling them for scrap metal, or building a factory and officially distilling his branded moonshine there. And what? He's the best in the area. Or breed ostriches in an old barn. It’s impossible to count everything. In principle, Oleg was mentally ready for anything and understood that most likely he was simply wasting half an hour of time on his favorite TV series, exchanging it for the great fantasy of his comrade.
- Well, tell me, what are you thinking? Just let’s get down to business, I have to get up very early,” Oleg said when they finally sat down on an old bench in the gazebo and started smoking.
Vitek looked around warily, for some reason looked under the bench and, moving closer to Oleg, whispered in his ear:
— I have information about the old farm. No one is roaming around there now, you can check it out.
- For what? - Oleg was surprised, - we have already decided that it is not worth breeding ostriches, they will not tolerate our climate.
- What kind of ostriches? – Vitek was surprised and thought for a couple of seconds. - And those! No, ostriches are not interesting, let them live for now. This is a completely different matter. Anyway, there's an abandoned farm, and there's probably some equipment left there. No one needs it anymore. Here, we will take him with you and place him in good hands.
Oleg grinned:
- Well, of course, who would doubt that Vitya would offer some decent business. However, with ostriches, perhaps, it was somehow more reliable. Do you really want us to illegally enter someone’s abandoned farm, get caught by the watchman, and then the whole village is buzzing about us? Well, I do not. By the way, I still have to submit reports and watch the second season with Galka. And here you are telling me about illegal entry.
Vitek pouted:
- I was afraid, that is. And he is also called a friend. And which of us is the ostrich here?
Oleg could not stand it:
- What does it have to do with chickening out? I don’t want to embarrass the whole neighborhood if we get caught.
But Vitka already had a ready answer to this:
- Do not worry! We will go in the evening, when everyone has gone home. In addition, there are definitely no guards there, I have already found out everything - the last time Uncle Vanya guarded this farm, then they sadly gave him his salary in half. And then it was closed completely. And nothing was taken out of there. This means that there is equipment, different instruments, and a lot more!
“Yeah, and the batch’s gold in bullion,” Oleg chuckled.
“Maybe gold, the devil knows...” Vitek scratched the back of his head and clearly thought about the market rate of gold.
“Okay,” Oleg said it so unexpectedly that Vitek jumped, “to hell with you, let’s go to this farm.” But look, if something goes wrong, I wash my hands of it. And then figure out for yourself how you ended up there and what kind of Uncle Vanya was guarding her in the nineties. But my name should not be mentioned, get it on your nose.
Vitek nodded in agreement:
- Well, that’s it, tomorrow evening we’ll start, why wait? Just don’t tell your Galka anything, otherwise she’ll tell all her friends about our gold.
Oleg laughed:
- I won’t! I promise! And, by the way, about Galka - I still need to decide on repairs here, the roof on the bathhouse is crumbling. And I’ve been promising her to fix it for a long time. Today, I walked into it and almost picked up all the dirt on myself. Let's do it this way. Tomorrow you will help me dismantle the roof, I don’t want to hire workers for this, but I’ll go with you to the farm to get the shipment’s gold.
Vitek raised his index finger up and said:
- Do you see how convenient I am with my proposal? And then, on the farm, we’ll take the necessary tools - there’s probably a lot of them left in the shed. Just what you will need for the bath! Well, okay, we’ll separate, and tomorrow we’ll meet at your place after work and we’ll dismantle the roof.
Satisfied, the conspirators went home. Of course, Oleg understood perfectly well that he was allowing himself to be drawn into an adventure. And that they will definitely not find anything decent on this abandoned farm. However, he knew what golden hands Vitka had. And that he is simply an ideal candidate for help in fixing the bathhouse. This is exactly what Oleg was thinking about as he crossed the threshold of the house where he ran into his wife. And then he breathed on her:
- We didn’t drink and didn’t intend to! Our Vitka is in trouble again.
“Wow,” Galya chuckled, “what did you want then?” Let me guess... Another brilliant plan?
Oleg laughed:
- Almost. He wants to appease his Nadka. She loves fish pies. Well, he invites me to go fishing with me so that I can distract him from harmful thoughts. At the same time, we agreed that tomorrow he would help me dismantle the roof. Maybe it will be possible to tidy up the bathhouse together with him. Why hire someone if both have their hands growing from the right place?
The wife was clearly delighted:
- Brilliant barter!
And Oleg became sad. He never lied to Gala, but he understood that if he told the truth, there would be no limit to her indignation. It’s clear that you can hardly expect trouble on that farm, but it’s better to tell it later.
The next day, returning from work. Oleg already saw Vitka from afar. He sat on their yesterday’s bench of conspirators and cheerfully whistled a song from “The Elusive Avengers.” Oleg sighed - it had been a terribly hard day and all he wanted now was to eat Galkin’s borscht and lounge in his favorite chair with a newspaper. But, alas, he had already made a promise and there was nowhere to go. Vitek, seeing him, jumped up joyfully:
- Finally! I've been waiting here for an hour now. Go quickly change clothes and let's take care of the roof.
“Uh-huh,” Oleg muttered in response and trudged towards the house.
- Chin up! - Vitek was clearly wildly inspired by their plan and wanted to finish the roof as quickly as possible in order to rush to the mysterious abandoned farm - treasures await us!
Dismantling the roof of the bathhouse turned out to be not as easy as Oleg imagined; he already regretted a hundred times that he decided to do it himself, saving on the crew. Part of the roof was rotten almost to the base, so we had to work very slowly, supporting each other. Yes, the bathhouse was clearly built well from the very beginning, just like their house. After all, they used to know how to build well. But if all its previous owners obviously looked after the house - they changed the roof, strengthened the foundation, etc., then it seemed that no one really cared about the bathhouse. It’s a pity, because they were all built in the century before last.
Meanwhile, Galina, cheerfully singing along to commercials from TV and periodically glancing out the window towards the bathhouse, was preparing dinner. She was already looking forward to how she and her neighbor Ninka would relax on the weekend: they would steam with new brooms, and after the steam room they would drink something stronger with Vitka’s fish. Maybe he didn’t work out well with ostriches and a moonshine factory, but he smoked fish perfectly, mmmmm delicious! Her thoughts were interrupted by a wild roar from the street and the loud scream of her husband. Galina's heart sank somewhere...
“Lord, if only they didn’t hurt themselves,” she jumped out of the house and ran towards the bathhouse.
A swearing Vitka crawled out from there, covered in wooden dust, while her husband ran around the yard with frightened eyes. Galina exhaled:
- Well, okay, at least they're alive. There was such a loud noise, what happened here?
Vitek got up from the grass and began to actively shake his head like a wet dog, trying to get rid of the remnants of wood chips and dust in his hair:
“Well, Gal, the roof collapsed, and there was some kind of chest there.” The big one, along with the roof, collapsed from the attic, and skulls fell out of it. Well, we couldn’t stay on the board and also fell down – Oleg had clearly already come to his senses.
- That's right, Gal, a chest with skulls, do you understand?! – Vitek stopped shaking his head – I saw them too, the real ones and a lot of them! It smells like dark things here, oh dark!
“Yeah, it still hit you on the head, but it’s obvious,” Galya sighed.
Vitek grabbed her hand and dragged her into the bathhouse:
- Let's go show you!
Oleg entered after them. Vitek scattered the remains of the collapsed roof to the sides:
- Look, look!
In fact, a slightly open chest appeared in front of them, and nearby there were skulls with strange seals on their foreheads. From the impact, the fastenings of the rusty padlock were turned outward and Vitek immediately began to knock them down with a poker lying nearby. The rather large, old and slightly rotten chest finally gave in, but with great difficulty.
- Wow, this is a castle! – the friend managed to cope with the obstacle, Vitek somehow opened the lid and whistled in disappointment. - Hey, there’s a skull again... Some books... Well, then you’ll heat the bathhouse.
The couple sat down next to Vitka and began to sort out the contents of the chest. There really was a bunch of old books: some were well preserved, some had rotten covers.
- Trotsky, Gumilev... one thousand nine hundred and thirteen... Some kind of old stuff. Who is this anyway? Hmmm, such a treasure and some other skulls, obviously fake and made of clay - Vitek was very disappointed - What is this? - He pulled out a small bundle tied with a rope from the mountain of books and rubbish. He quickly unwound it and exclaimed. - Treasure map!
Oleg and Galya looked into the shabby paper that Vityok took out of the package. There were some strange numbers, arrows and crosses. Galya chuckled:
- Well, it doesn’t really look like a map. Keep it if you want. - she stood up, dusted off her skirt - put everything in the chest and bring it into the house, I’ll sort out what goes into the firebox and what goes where. As I understand it, it’s better to finish the bathhouse for today.
“Yes, we’d better go fishing, we’ll finish with the bathhouse tomorrow,” Vitek thoughtfully turned his “treasure map” in his hands.
- Maybe tomorrow? — Oleg asked with hope in his voice.
“No, today,” Vitek clearly had no intention of bargaining with him and was categorical.
“Okay,” Oleg sighed heavily, “Galchonok, will you get us something to eat with you?”
She nodded in response and went into the house.
- So! “Vityok suddenly came out of his reverie and ran up to Oleg with the paper he found in the chest. - Has Galka left? “Just in case, he looked out of the bathhouse and glanced around. - Yeah, she left. Look what! – he pointed his finger at the small cross on the paper and the numbers next to it. – I may not be good at your Yesenins, but there were so many lightning flashes in my childhood, wow! And in geography I actually got a straight B, remember!
“I remember,” Oleg nodded, “but I still don’t understand it.”
- Ugh! – Vitek was clearly disappointed that his friend turned out to be such a slow-witted person – it’s a map! With coordinates! And I already looked on the Internet where it is. Guess what!
- Well??? – Oleg is tired of guessing.
- Wildebeest! – Vitek retorted. – This is right on the territory of our abandoned gold farm! What's it like, huh? What did I tell you? It’s good that Galka gave you a hassle with the bathhouse! Otherwise we wouldn’t have found this map! They would only take the instrument out and rejoice like fools. And now we know for sure that there is something hidden there! – Vitka’s eyes were burning. - So, whatever you want, we have “fishing” today!
Oleg thought:
- Maybe you're right. Can anything happen? OK. Moreover, I promised you anyway.
Vitka carefully folded the map, put it in his breast pocket, and the treasure hunters went to the house, where Galya was already waiting for them with her borscht, famous throughout the village.
As soon as it got dark, we gathered in full, with gear, a tent and other equipment, and moved towards the abandoned farm. Of course, Galya finally grumbled a little for the sake of decency about their night “fishing”. But Vitek was absolutely inexorable: his wife loved pike and only pike. And pike, as everyone knows, can only be caught well at night. Galya, of course, had no arguments for this. Therefore, all that remained for her was to provide her beloved husband with a bag of sandwiches and finally read a brief lecture to his unlucky friend about the dangers of alcoholism. And a word given to someone is a law. Since the husband has promised something, let him fulfill what he does.
The friends found the farm quickly - not according to the mysterious map, of course, but according to Vitka’s knowledge. It was located just a few kilometers from the village, behind a forest belt, which perfectly hid it from the eyes of all potential treasure hunters. And, what pleased Oleg most of all, it was truly completely abandoned. Still, Oleg doubted this information until the last moment. There were no traces of the recent presence of people: empty barns and sheds looked at them from the darkness with the black eye sockets of their windows, and the thorny bushes that had grown throughout the yard brazenly bit into the clothes of their friends, as if trying to stop them. Of course, they didn’t find any tool or anything useful at all. However, Oleg had no doubt about this - well, who would leave something valuable there? It is clear that everything was removed long ago when the farm was closed.
“Well, okay,” after an hour of wandering around the farm, Vitek also realized that they would have nothing to profit from here. – To hell with them, with tools and junk. Let's go dig up the treasure. Judging by the coordinates, he is somewhere near the barracks.
The friend jogged towards the building, which was dark against the starry sky. Vitek took a small shovel from his backpack and stuck it into the ground.
- Here!
And then he started digging. Oleg, crouching close, thoughtfully watched as his friend actively wielded a shovel. Not that he really hoped they'd find the treasure. Of course, Vitka had a B in geography, but this whole treasure hunt story still looked somehow unconvincing. On the other hand, look how inspired Vityok is. It’s better to dig holes in search of gold than to spend all day brewing and tasting your own moonshine. His thoughts and Vitka’s loud sniffling were interrupted by a sharp sound - the shovel bumped into something.
- Bingo! - Vitek turned to Oleg, - why are you sitting? Let's help!
A few minutes later, a small metal box was brought to the surface, closed with a small lock, which Vitya immediately knocked down with a shovel. Having opened the lid, the friends looked at each other in bewilderment - in front of them again lay a bundle tied with a rope.
“A card again or something...” Vitek was clearly annoyed. “We’ll probably be looking for gold for the rest of our lives.”
However, the new package contained not a map at all, but a note...
“We, the cadets of the corps...” Oleg began to read aloud, “Oh, Vit, this is not a map...”
However, he himself already understood. Friends read to the end and thought about it. Of course, what they found was not any great treasure, and even if they wanted to, they would not have been able to make money on this obviously ancient piece of paper. However, it still had a certain value - it was a real letter, from the cadets of the military corps, located on the territory of their village at the beginning of the last century. This Oleg had heard about the building; after the revolution, the House of Pioneers was in its building for some time, then a local ensemble rehearsed there, well, then, as was common then, it was simply demolished as unnecessary. Several young cadet friends wrote a message to themselves in the future - each about who they see themselves in that very future, agreeing to gather together in the same place, like musketeers, twenty years later to read this letter.
“Why didn’t you dig it up?” – Vitya looked at Oleg with concern.
“So remember what the times were like - the revolution, the civil war, all these white, red and lilac...” Oleg thought, “let’s take it to the regional local history office?” Still, this is part of the story... And I’ll tell Galka in the morning. And about the map, and about this farm. I don't like to lie.
Vitek agreed. Taking the letter along with the box, they left the abandoned farm and went towards the river. After all, we took our equipment with us, it’s a shame to just go back like that. And they both loved fishing. There was no big catch, but it was enough to appease Vitkina Nadya. She really loved baking fish pies.
In the morning, Oleg told his wife everything, who, oddly enough, was not offended by his little deception and did not swear. On the contrary, she only scolded him for not telling her anything, because night fishing was not interesting. But she could easily go with them to look for treasure.
“I’ll take the letter to the museum myself today; I’ll go to the center on business anyway.” Well, while you’re at work, I’ll sort this out,” she said.
Once again Oleg became convinced of how lucky he was to have Galya next to him. The other one would have screamed for sure. Although, of course, I was still a little surprised by her reaction. However, the main surprise was ahead.
Returning from work in the evening, Oleg saw a company of some unfamiliar men who were clearly tearing apart their bathhouse. And Galya, who led this entire work process.
- Olezhek! I hired a crew here after all. And, yes, we won’t fix it, we’ll tear it down and install a new one.
- And what kind of big deal... Did you spend our money set aside for vacation? — Oleg began to get angry.
- Of course not! – the wife laughed. - Well, what kind of nonsense? In general, how it all turned out: I took this letter from you to the museum. You can’t imagine how surprised they were by this whole find! And then I went to an antique store. Well, with the books and shards from the chest... - the wife obviously paused on purpose in her narration.
- Well!!! – don’t languish already! – Oleg exclaimed.
“Well, so,” the wife continued, “the shards turned out to be someone’s homemade clay, but the books, although shabby, are valuable, Gumilyov alone is worth something.” We have enough not only for a bath...
“Well, well,” Oleg, stunned by the news that had fallen on him, sat down on the bench, “here, this is the story... Now, this is, indeed, a real “Treasure Island”!
Galya laughed:
- You see, you, fool, don’t like baths!
Tarzan
Natasha Koroleva’s husband appreciates and respects the bathhouse. But a naked selfie he once shared with his followers caused widespread confusion. Tarzan shouldn’t have shown his figure, many decided.
What confused the public? The dancer's breasts, because of which he was compared to a nursing mother and Anastasia Volochkova (without whom our selection, of course, would be incomplete). Fans' opinions about Sergei Glushko's torso were divided: some advised him to go to the gym more often, others thought that he had gone too far with the iron. Tarzan himself was not at all embarrassed by the critics' unrest. He is quite pleased with himself, and his wife does not complain.

What to plant along the fence on the street side
Large flowers, climbing vines, and ornamental trees, which will additionally perform a protective function, will look good here. To prevent them from becoming someone else's prey, you should not plant valuable plants here. The best option is called: birch, linden, chestnut, coniferous trees, rowan.
Shrubs will look good here. Even fruit-bearing and thorny varieties are suitable. Therefore, next to the fence you can find lilacs and rose hips. Large flowers (dahlia, rose, mallow) will help decorate the fence.
Larisa Guzeeva
60-year-old Larisa Guzeeva knows a lot about relaxation and self-care for her beloved. Host of the program “Let's Get Married!” I recently showed a photo taken... unfortunately, not in the steam room itself, but after leaving it. ""Day off! After the bath... This is my time and my beauty,” the actress signed a photo showing her in a robe over her naked body.
And although Larisa didn’t really show anything in the photo, fans found the photo very exciting. “That’s how sex comes from a person,” some said. Well, the fact that Guzeeva is a beautiful woman, even in a robe and with a turban on her head, is no secret to anyone. She recently delighted fans by appearing as the Snow Maiden. Here it is, the miraculous power of the bath!
Construction Materials
Typically, wooden beams in combination with insulation and sheathing are used to build walls. It is enough to use beams 10 cm thick.
Sometimes wood concrete is used. To make it, cement, sawdust, sand and water are mixed. Such walls must be carefully waterproofed.
Another option is to make a frame bath. It must be thoroughly insulated.
Important! If you are looking for a contractor for construction on a site, I recommend the Kronotek guys. Move on!
To make the floor, a double base is most often used. The base is made of concrete. A frame made of slats is laid on top of it. It is covered with the selected floor covering.
To extend the service life, it is necessary to ventilate and dry the room.
When installing the floor, it is necessary to install a slight slope towards the drain.
For the ceiling, professionals recommend using a 3 cm thick board. The ceiling is often insulated with a mixture of earth, clay and sawdust.
To build a bathhouse yourself, it is enough to have minimal construction skills.
Anna Semenovich
The busty singer once again showed off her “assets” by showing a video in the font. Visually, the footage turned out to be quite modest, but, according to many fans, still provocative. “Moos with pleasure,” this is how subscribers defined the sounds that Semenovich made while basking in the water.

Decoration of the recreation area
Landscape design covers all corners of the country property; in addition to the bathhouse, the territory is often equipped with a recreation area. Recommendations for arrangement are as follows:
Artificial ponds can highlight the sophistication of landscape design. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a pond, a fountain or a waterfall, the murmur and coolness of water always have a positive effect on a person’s psycho-emotional state.
The techniques used in landscape design have many faces. The presence and design of certain structures are largely determined by the financial capabilities of the owner of the site. But with a creative approach, even a small area can be transformed without major investments. The main thing in design is imagination and perseverance.
In most cases, any summer resident is afraid to completely change the landscape design on his summer cottage without professional help. But you don’t need to be afraid to set goals for yourself and fulfill them; landscaping the territory of your summer cottage is a completely feasible task that anyone can complete based on their aesthetic and taste preferences; you just need to learn the basics of landscape decoration.
The area around the bathhouse
Thus, in order not to spend a large amount of money when ordering the services of expensive designers, you can decorate your plot at the dacha near the bathhouse yourself, and you can landscape it with various plantings, adding alpine slides and bridges to the landscape design. Such aesthetic appeal of the territory will not only please the owner of the summer cottage, but will also affect his mood.
Pelagia
Pelageya’s husband once showed a bathing video. Hockey player Ivan Telegin made a short video of himself relaxing in a sauna with friends and family and posted it on Instagram. “Here we have restoration procedures. Pelageya Sergeevna. Now we are in Minsk,” Telegin commented on the footage of his wife dancing spectacularly in a red swimsuit. The figure of Pelageya evoked only positive emotions among fans!

Doors and windows for sauna
Arranging doors can present some challenges. On the one hand, the doors must ensure reliable retention of steam inside the room, on the other hand, a necessary condition is the ease of opening the door in case of unforeseen situations.
A glass sheet will cope best with this task. It does not swell, easily turns on its hinges, and provides the necessary tightness.
Windows, for the most part, are a kind of decorative element that is designed to let in light and visually expand the room.
Adeline Sotnikova
The Olympic champion also admitted that she loves to steam. According to her, this is not only a pleasant, but also a very useful procedure. At least for her: the skater needs to periodically relax her muscles, because thanks to this, the body’s recovery occurs an order of magnitude faster.
And although Adeline has already finished her active sports career, fans took her advice into account. And at the same time, they appreciated the figure, which can be seen even behind the muddy water and spruce branches.
Hedge care
Well-groomed plantings that form a green hedge can become a decoration for any area, provided that they are provided with proper care. It consists of watering, timely application of fertilizers, and periodic trimming of the crown. A hedge will be beautiful only if you choose the right seedlings. They should complement each other and not interfere with growth and development.
An important step in creating a hedge is trimming the bushes. With its help you can form a hedge and keep them in good condition. Even if the crown appears to be growing normally, it should be trimmed periodically. This will allow the bushes to grow denser and bloom more densely.
Nyusha
The singer Nyusha was once almost pecked to death for this photo. Although there is no unnecessary pathos on it: the star was photographed at her own dacha in the Moscow region, in a rather modest and homely atmosphere. “This bath evening...” the artist wrote dreamily. But the fans were outraged. “How can you be half naked in front of the whole country?”; “What does the husband say to this?!” - Nyusha was called to account. To be fair, now the singer is posting more piquant pictures. Why everyone was so confused by Nyushin’s “bath evening” is a mystery.

Features of choosing a place for a bath
A country vacation cannot be considered complete if there is no bathhouse on the site. When choosing or drawing up a project, they are guided by the size of the site, the planned financial costs and strive for compatibility of style with a residential building. It is very important to find a suitable place on the site for a bathhouse. Rest is invariably associated with a peaceful atmosphere, and it is advisable not to disturb your neighbors. Based on the following recommendations, it will be easier to choose a suitable area for a bathhouse:
- Despite the apparent convenience of being near a body of water, the bathhouse should be located at a distance. This will avoid erosion of the foundation and the negative consequences of floods. An exception may be a bathhouse on a hilly area, and then only after careful geological exploration.
- It is unwise to place a bathhouse near a road; dust and noise can disturb any atmosphere; even expensive room design will not help.
- A bathhouse with high-quality ventilation and a well-thought-out sewerage system will protect the area from sewage pollution and unpleasant odor.
- It is preferable to place the bathhouse on the south side of the site, so the structure will be protected from the wind and have better lighting. A door with access to the south will save the strength of the site owners in winter, when the need arises to clear snowdrifts.
- It is recommended to plan the bathhouse windows facing west. Evening relaxation and admiring the sunset - what could be more romantic?
- A bathhouse near a neighbor's property is contrary to building codes. A bathhouse located among trees will allow you to achieve organicity in landscape design.
- If the material for constructing a bathhouse is wood, it is better to install the building, which is unsafe from a fire point of view, away from the house.
- A gap of at least 15-20 m between structures will help prevent contamination of the source of drinking water by drains from the bathhouse.
In addition to the correctly selected site, the external design of the bathhouse plays a significant role. It is desirable that the walls of the house and the bathhouse are made of the same material. This is especially true for landscape design if the building is in plain sight. The exterior of a bathhouse hidden in the thick of green spaces is less important. But it is better to choose a roofing material similar to the main building. This contributes to a harmonious perception of the design of the site as a whole.
The following is the design of the area with the bathhouse:
Olga Buzova
Olga Buzova also got it. And this is for a photo in a swimsuit! The singer and businesswoman took this photo in a Sochi sauna during the filming of a new video. They took place in April, and the bathhouse, according to Olga, was simply necessary. After all, during the two days of filming she was very cold.
“I took a steam bath, bathed in the font, they fed me, gave me a massage... and now I’m sitting by the fireplace, drinking tea with honey... looking at the fire... and getting high. Life is wonderful,” Buzova wrote then. But many followers, instead of being happy for the owner of the blog, began to reproach her for being too seductive in her swimsuit. Some time after this, Olga finally got tired of the criticism and made her account private.

How to choose the right plant?
Landscaping serves several functions:
When deciding what will decorate the line along the fence, you need to consider the following points:
Important! If the area is small, flowers or low shrubs will look better along its fence. In a large open area, massive trees would be appropriate.
Low-growing plants should be planted by the side of the road. They will be able to absorb harmful substances and trap dust. A beautiful green wall can be created if the plantings are made dense and planted closely.
If the selected plant has a massive root that can grow quickly, then it should be planted away from the fence (at a distance of 3-5 m). This will protect the base of the fence from cracks and destruction by a powerful root.
In order for the site to always look attractive, when choosing options for its landscaping, you need to give preference to crops that will bloom at different times. It is also worth considering the compatibility of plants.
Ksenia Sobchak
It cannot be said that Ksenia Sobchak intensively promoted the benefits of the bathhouse with the help of candid photos. But this year she amazed the audience by taking a steam bath with Volochkova herself! The ladies had intimate conversations, sitting and lying on the shelf, and filmed everything that happened. It was then that the figure of Ksenia Sobchak came into the frame, which, to the horror of fans, turned out to be imperfect.

People scolded the “blonde in chocolate” both for her flabby sides and for her sophisticated bullying of the scandalous ballerina. However, with Ksyusha, any criticism is like water off a duck’s back. Moreover, her program, filmed visiting Anastasia, received 2.5 million views in less than a week.

From cinder blocks
Such baths began to be built not so long ago. They are very affordable, easy to build and last longer than wooden ones. Such structures require good insulation and mandatory vapor barrier. It is especially important to approach this issue if your latitude experiences constant temperature changes and cold winters.
Cinder block does not require additional protection against mold or mildew, which allows you to save on treating walls with an antiseptic. Also, cinder blocks do not burn, which eliminates the need to use fire retardants. There are several types of cinder blocks.
Expert opinion

Bath master who knows everything about steaming
Attention! Cinder blocks can have different compositions; you should definitely familiarize yourself with them before purchasing. The best composition is shell rock, sand, expanded clay, sawdust and crushed stone, which are fixed with cement.
For supporting structures, it is advisable to choose monolithic blocks. They are strong and will enhance the load-bearing properties of the walls. For external walls, it is recommended to choose blocks with voids occupying 30% of the block volume. Internal partitions are erected from small blocks weighing 10-13 kg with a minimum thickness. This is necessary to save space indoors.
In addition, the internal walls rarely act as load-bearing walls, which eliminates the need for their significant strengthening. The same materials can be used as insulation and vapor barrier as for a frame bath.
To build baths from cinder blocks, you also do not need an expensive foundation, which allows you to save up to 50% of the budget. Usually a columnar or strip base is chosen.
The main thing is that it is perfectly aligned horizontally to avoid movement and deformation of the walls. If you violate the foundation laying technology, large cracks will appear on the cinder blocks.
Attention! Cinder block baths are not suitable for everyone. They are characterized by increased sound permeability. To eliminate this drawback, additional sound insulation will be required. It is worth calculating what is more profitable in this case: to build a bathhouse of a different type or to build a structure made of cinder blocks.
Anastasia Volochkova
Now we have reached the queen of the entire selection. Anastasia Volochkova regularly pampers her fans with photos from the sauna and bathhouse, as well as from the ice plunge pool. She openly shares her secrets of proper “hovering”, does the splits on shelves and in the snow, poses naked, only slightly covering “strategically important places” with a broom... In general, unnecessary words are not needed here, and one photo cannot be limited.

3x5
Since people are interested in washing and steam room options for these dimensions, separately and together, we will present both options, and then you can decide which one you prefer, but everything that was said about the possibilities of reproducing the conditions of a Russian bathhouse in a building with an area of 3 by 3 meters - remains valid even when increased to 5. Make a stove in a surround, use steam generators if it is not possible to make a full-fledged closed heater.
Washing and steam room separately
Let us say right away that this option cannot be called the only possible one. Moreover, for those who are not inclined to receive guests and drink libations, the design of a bathhouse with a steam room and a sink of such dimensions may seem unsuccessful. But you can always start from what you have and reshape everything in your own way
