Useful services for an independent artist. Social network of Hip-Hop music

The rap cluster “Gazgolder” unites a dozen and a half artists who have rallied around the experienced Basta. This cooperative method of survival not only turned out to be effective, it pushes the communards to unusual adventures. Now they have decided to storm the cinemas - they shot a film (it’s called “Gas Holder” - and was released at the end of April), and the premiere was preceded by a collective tour of cities and villages.

From left to right: Jamal (“Triagrutrika”), Vibe (“Triagrutrika”), Smokey Mo, Vitya AK (“AK47”), Slovetsky, DJ Puza (“Triagrutrika”), Basta, Tati, Ingushet (“Triagrutrika”)

How do people get into the Gas Holder? What are they promising you here?

Jamal (“Triagrutrika”): You need to mind your own business and they will call you. There is no need to send demos.

DJ Puza (“Triagrutrika”): You need to be relaxed.

Smoky Mo: They promise street respect, bro. (Basta arrives, the question is repeated to him - with laughter.)

Basta: Well, as it usually happens here: bandits come and intimidate. You know. No, what do we promise? Remove the clips, professional booking. We promise that we will do everything honestly and decently.

Jamal: That everything will be smooth on tour.

Basta: But besides this, there is also sympathy in musical terms. There are people whose work I personally like. And, as a rule, these are artists who have already achieved something themselves. Right?

Is there an ideology that unites you?

Tony Tunight: Question for the elders.

Slovetsky: Creativity unites us. And despite the fact that everyone is different and everyone has character, we are like a family.

Is “Gas Holder” more about business or about friendship?

Basta: Let's just say that I happily shake hands with all the people we work with. The tour showed who each person is, and it became clear that we have no wimps.

What new things did you learn about each other on tour?

Basta: I learned about myself that there are no impossible tasks. And I learned about the people I work with that they are real men, guys who overcome all difficulties. We gave people a real holiday. Some concerts were difficult due to fatigue. But in Rostov-on-Don, for example, it was completely sold out. And just fifteen years ago I performed for the first time in this Sports Palace, after which, it is believed, I woke up as a city celebrity.

Jamal: The hardest part of the tour was getting enough sleep. It happened that concerts went on for three days in a row. This means that you only finish around midnight, you need to eat, go to the hotel at one o’clock, and at five in the morning you wake up because you have to move to the next city. You arrive, and there is already an autograph session.

Tati: I always don't have enough time to do my hair. The guys don’t understand that this is important, and they rush, saying: “Faster, faster.”

Will this tour help promote the film?

Basta: One hundred percent. In addition to concerts, we had press conferences and autograph sessions in every city. A thousand people came to each cinema, and this was during the day, on weekdays. And the people who work in cinemas, the distributors saw everything, and our main task was to show how many viewers this is important.

What genre is your film? And what are you all doing there?

Jamal: I would call it an interesting action movie. Action movie. There is incredible dynamics there, a constant buzz. Well, you, journalist, have you watched the movie “Adrenaline”? Now just imagine.

Tati: We all play ourselves, and it’s like we’re all caught up in the same crime story, and we all somehow cope.

Are your songs played there?

Jamal: Music from songs sounds. And the clips - they will already grow after the film. They will contain footage that was not included in the film. And perhaps even some storylines will finally be revealed in the clips.

Slovetsky studied to be a financier in New York

Are your expectations high for the film?

Basta: Like everything, basically, that I do. I want to believe. Firstly, we seriously thought out a promotion related to the popularization of the word “gas holder”. Our requests on Yandex have grown from three hundred to three hundred thousand. Wherever there were concerts, the organizers directly covered the city with posters and banners - for this I even deviated from the usual tour fee.

Does the movie viewer have to be a rapper too?

Vibe (“Triagrutrika”): Nope. The audience of our film is fans of normal films.

Basta: I think rappers will be disappointed by this movie. This is not “8 Mile” at all, not a film about subculture. It's about life. And the rap in it is an accompaniment. But he’s there at the box office, he’s there in the suit. You know, yesterday I watched the whole film again. I really like it. Maybe I don't have much taste. But there remains a pleasant feeling, very interesting. The fact that it's full of shit, yes. Twenty-four locations change in the first three minutes. There is a prejudice against Russian cinema, that it is never good.

Jamal:“The Geographer Drank His Globe Away” is a good movie.

Tati: Our cinema is also good.

Tony Tunight: Listen to me. I’m the only one here, besides Basta, who saw the whole film...

Slovetsky: Tony just told me it's like "Brother", so you understand, journalist. "Brother-3" is like that.

Tony Tunight: Yes, and my advice is to just go and see. It's kind of an action game, but it also has cool dialogue. Well, I don’t know, like in “Coffee and Cigarettes.”

What new did you say with this film?

Basta: Everything and nothing. Yesterday we talked with Lekha, my guy who mixes music, that this movie is like Castaneda. Here you are, a journalist, can you tell me what Castaneda is talking about? You can not. Castaneda - about life. So is the film. It's about life. You know, no one can find the words, not the distributors, not anyone. It's just "Gas Holder", remember.

Vasily Mikhailovich Vakulenko, aka Basta

VASILY VAKULENKO, AKA BASTA Basta was invited to Gazgolder in 2004 by one of the founders of the club and the rap association of the same name, Bogdan Titomir. At that time, a resident of Rostov-on-Don was known for the song “My Game,” recorded under the pseudonym Basta Oink. The first success outside of his hometown was a fit in the composition of the Centr project “City of Roads”. After a couple of lyrical albums “Basta 1” and “Basta 2”, he decided on the “hooligan project” “Noggano” on behalf of a fictional character - “a womanizer and a bastard”, then he rethought gangstar rap in the N1NT3ND0 project. At the end of last year, he gathered a large group of friends and released a double album of dance music, calling the group Bratia Stereo. In 2010, Basta recorded a joint album with Guf, “Basta/Guf.” Guf appeared on the label's list of artists, but after he disappeared from there, it was stated that he had never been one - he simply took part in recordings and concerts.

QP He is also KRP, Kupe, Vadim Karpenko. Basta's longtime colleague on stage and in the studio, a character in his tracks, sound producer. I worked on my solo album for a long time, and as a result, “My Tape Recorder” was released in 2009.

AK-47 The duet of Vitya and Maxim from the city of Berezovsky, near Yekaterinburg, which appeared simultaneously with the VKontakte website and gained its popularity there. As a result, Basta called the musicians, invited them to the Hip-Hop TV radio show, recorded the track “Wider Circle” with them and Guf and took them to “Gazgolder”. The group has published two albums: Berezovskiy and MegaPolice. Viti AK’s solo album “Fat” was also released under the Gazgoldera brand.

TATI Basta's concert backing vocalist, a Muscovite who lived her entire childhood in Los Angeles. QP helped her record her debut album called Tati, in which the singer sings in a gentle voice and reads rather cynical lines. The disc went on sale in early March; the track “Ball” features Smokey Mo and Basta.

SMOKY MO Alexander Tsikhov, St. Petersburg school at Gazgolder, is a human energizer who has worked with Basta, Guf, Assai, Decl, Mister Small, Casta, Centr, KREC, Triagrutrika and even with the rock group Animal Jazz. His album “Younger” was published on “Gaz”; a joint full-length release with Basta is expected this year.

SLOVETSKY Valentin Presnov stands out for his erudition and effective metaphors in poetry. Originally from Karaganda, he began to read and record rap in New York, where he moved in 1997. He made his debut in the Pentagon: Project Constant formation. In 2010 he appeared in Moscow, where the trio of Slovetsky, Slim and Mitya Severny recorded the album “Azimut”. I got into “Gazgolder” through QP, and soon composed the track “Be Healthy” with Noggano. Slovetsky's solo album Mozaika was released in the summer of 2012.

OLEG GRUZ Born in Uzbekistan. He participated in the Rostov group GROOZZ, organized parties with the creative association "Blockade", and founded the project "Priority". Writes poetry and plays. Based on his own play, he made the psychedelic film “Ditches” - the first film project of “Gazgolder”, which never reached distribution.

"TRIAGRUTRIKA" The Chelyabinsk quartet of meditative rap released the “Big City Life” video in 2010. In 2011, TGC began working with Gazgolder: it organizes concerts for them, produces and sells discs. Gazgolder also released a solo album by one of the members of Triagrutrika, Jamal, called “Heavyweight”.

There is a lot of mystery in the history of Gazgolder, the wildest Moscow club of the mid-2000s. In general, it is correct to say not “club”, but “creative association”. The community of artists and musicians that emerged in 2004 planned from the very beginning to go beyond parties. Their plans were much more extensive: to produce musicians, organize exhibitions, make films, stage plays. Looking ahead, it is worth recognizing that all this was achieved. However, in the beginning there was a club.

“GazClub”: 2004 (2005?) and to the present time

There were not so many people who were directly related to the emergence of the Gasgolder TO. Musicians Basta and Bogdan Titomir, artists Sergei Bugaev (Africa) and Hermes Zygott, designer Den Kryuchkov. Titomir is a key figure in the history of Gazgolder. The club opened on his birthday – March 16th. The date is known, but as for the year, the opinions of the participants are divided: some say 2004, others say 2005. The rapper Basta performed at the opening; it was his first concert in Moscow.

Now everyone knows where the Gas Holder is located, but five years ago only people knew about the existence of a black lacquered door to the right of the Kruzhka beer bar near the Gogol Theater. “On the first floor we had a dance floor, on the second there was a huge chill-out room where Russian billionaires relaxed,” recalls Zygott. – In reality, if people sitting on the second floor on Friday or Saturday collected all the money, the amount would be more than the budget of the Russian Federation. The club never sold drugs, but you could do whatever you wanted – nothing was prohibited.” Face control at the entrance was the strictest: Ruslan “Rul” Tarkinsky, who later moved to the “Roof of the World,” was responsible for the quality of visitors allowed in. “Everyone wanted to get into the club, but practically no one got in,” explains Basta. “It was very difficult to get up here, to the second floor, where the studio is now, and to get into that room - it was generally something prohibitive.” And everyone really liked it.”

Read the full text At the end of 2005, everyone already knew about the existence of “Gas Holder”. To the ceremony Night Life Awards, where “Gaz” took first place in the “Discovery of the Year” nomination, two dark-skinned “busboys” were seconded. bus And boy; that’s what they called general workers in Gaza). They were ideal for this role: they practically didn’t speak Russian, so they couldn’t blurt out too much.

“Full house, glamor and all that,” musician Hans Holman (member of the groups “Oak Gaai” and Alien Pat. Holman. – OS), who worked as a DJ in “Gazgolder”. – I got into the club in the fall of 2005 and I remember what kind of people came there. In a sense, I was their music teacher: I adapted all the trendy styles into a form that was understandable for visitors. Subsequently, raised by me, they opened clubs with the right music - “Roof of the World” and “Solyanka.”

Incredible things happened at the club: in one week, for example, they could easily perform there Asian Dub Foundation and “Vopli Vidoplyasov”, Malcolm McLaren and Sergey Africa could visit. Everything was strictly on schedule: movies were shown on Wednesdays, jams were held on Thursdays, and everyone came with their children on Sundays. From time to time lectures were given on Buddhism, philosophy and psychology. However, after about a year, the artists decided to distance themselves from the club and opened GazGallery.

"GazGallery": 2006–2008

It all started with the fact that Sergei Anatolyevich Bugaev (Africa), after a personal exhibition at the Tretyakov Gallery, wondered where he could store his art so as not to drag it back to St. Petersburg. It immediately became clear that at the Arma plant there is a warehouse where tables from the Kruzhka bar, chairs, and refrigerators are stored. “In the Gallery, when we found it, there was dirt, pipes, some kind of shit,” recalls Basta.

However, order was restored in a matter of days. The premises were occupied by artists who were part of the so-called “Gaza Group”: Sergey Anufriev (member of the art group “Medical Hermeneutics” - OS), Alexander Svet (Kholodenko), Andrey Kamara, Yuri Balashov, Den Kryuchkov and others. Many practically moved there for permanent residence, setting up workshops on the second floor.

“A funny story happened to Anufriev,” says Hermes, who also painted, but refused to live in the “Gallery”. “We were throwing a party dedicated to Halloween, for which we hung a huge coffin about three meters long and one and a half meters wide in the center under the ceiling. And at that moment some foreign gallery owners arrived in Moscow, and I decided to show them our premises. We arrive, it’s dark, and suddenly Anufriev rises from the coffin. As it turned out, he lay down there to sleep. Well, the foreigners, naturally, were completely upset.” Subsequently, raves and the first “Parties at Noggano” by Vasya Basta began to be held at GazGallery.

Over the two years of its existence, GazGallery has hosted several collective exhibitions and one personal one. This honor was awarded to the staff painter of “Gaza” Alexander Svet (Kholodenko). It was his paintings from the series “Idolatry and Debauchery,” in which Stalin and Lenin were engaged in petting with prostitutes, that became the hallmark of the club. Many broke through face control just to see them with their own eyes. Paintings by Svet, who died in September of this year, hang in the GazClub to this day.

"GazStudio": 2008 to present

“Gasgolder”, in the status in which it is remembered and loved, existed until 2008. “The club can live for three years,” says artist Hermes Zygott. – After this, we urgently need to change the location. This is the law of business." In mid-2008, with the help of Vasily “Basta” Vakulenko, a recording studio appeared on the second floor of Gazgolder. “The concept in everything just changed - I wanted to do other things,” explains Basta. – It’s as if there was no time or energy for the club movement. We became interested in music, cinema, theater. We bought a studio booth, then ordered all these speakers and microphones from America. I record all my albums here now.”

In addition to Basta, the poet Oleg Gruz moved from Rostov-on-Don to Gazgolder. He arrived light, with only a manuscript, a play in verse called “Ditches.” “Gruz is a very good rhymer,” explains Hermes. “In his play, people speak in poetry, but they talk about nothing.” In principle, the concept itself - the action takes place in a madhouse - implies that crazy people communicate with medical staff and themselves. “Ditches” is the largest project of GazStudio. Today, there is the play “Moats” (if you follow the club’s poster, you can get to the show) and 28 versions of the film “Moats” (the 29th in a row will most likely be a full-length film). “I also showed up there,” admits Hans Holman. – I only had two remarks. I especially liked this one: they ask me: “Do you want to be treated from the outside?” - and I answer them: “Otherwise not!”

The wave of Russian rap raised by Basta turned out to be a very profitable business. “Vasya took off, became expensive and toured a lot,” explains Hans. “And this is exactly what the owners were interested in from the very beginning.” “Party at Noggano” is a side project of TO “Gazgolder”. As the rapper himself says, “the project of a drug addict, rowdy, foul-mouthed, womanizer and bastard.” A year ago, Vasily was rowdy in the same place where he is now - in the club Zoo, but in 2008 he performed in a place that had been like home to him for several years - at the Arma plant. This year there are four full shows on Thursdays in one month. “I can’t say anything specific, it’s a secret,” explains Noggano. “I can only promise the same atmosphere as in previous seasons, plus full contact with the audience.” I wonder if among them will be those who attended (-tsr-)Vasya’s very first concert in the newly opened “Gazgolder”. Why not, by the way. The club is open - now you can have business lunches there while admiring the paintings of Light. Parties are held - to see Hans Holman at the turntables, you just need to come on the night from Friday to Saturday. And you don't need to go through face control. That's the whole difference.

RUS RAP PRODUCTION “Labels.”

So, let’s already define what a “Pseudo-Label” is - this is an Internet label created by a student on VKontakte to increase his respect, like he has his own label, etc., etc.

1.Many of you have asked the question “what is a label for?”
Now all famous personalities in Russian hip-hop are on some label. For example: Basta, Guf, AK, TGK, Smokey - Gazgolder, Center - Central Administrative District, ST, Dino MC, Midway - GLSS, Marsel - Phlatline, Casta, sand People - Respect prod. etc...

Personally, the performer himself in our time will not be able to achieve anything on his own, even if he achieves it, the success will be fleeting, as they say, “First you work for the name of the company, then the name of the company works for you.”

Let's give an example of how an artist was lost without a label. St1m used to be a member of King Ring, UnderWhat!?, Aggro..., but soon left the labels, why are they needed if everything is fine, about 2 years have passed since Steam fell behind movement with labels and he didn’t have one major performance or any other companies...he just started singing in Dom-2 with Nelly Ermolaeva, shame...

By being in a label, you don’t lose anything, so don’t be afraid to ask to be accepted into some team... if you are lucky enough to join a label, you will immediately feel a lot of advantages. 1. Every good label has its own website, advertising on the website label, and on the partner’s website. 2. Various interviews for websites, etc., etc. 3. A performance that the label will organize for you. 4. Release and advertising of your releases and many more services, and all this is free. You might be wondering what the catch is, because the only thing free is cheese in a mousetrap, but the label also has its own tricks. The money they earn from your concerts, releases, etc. will be divided 80% into 20%, as you understand, almost all the money will go to the label, but 20% is not bad money for a beginning artist. In the future, your concerts, releases will grow and sales will increase significantly...
So go for it...

2. How to join a label correctly.
The most reliable way to look is through the search on VKontakte, almost all labels are registered there. First of all, you should look at the population of the group, if there are more than 20,000 people in the group and is growing every day, then this is the right label, look only for a label with its own website!, listen the quality of other artists, the label should not have 20-30 artists, it will turn out not to be a label but a stupid bunch, and of course look for labels close to Moscow.
Let us remind you that entry must be free.

3. Why join if I can open my own label.
A lot of people think so. It’s easy to open a label, it’s much more difficult to develop it, think through the essence of the label and pursue the right policy. You also need certain finances and acquaintances in the hip-hop industry. About money right away, to open a good label without its own distribution network costs approximately 100,000 - 150,000 thousand, this includes: Website + its maintenance, content, Label advertising, Various souvenirs (T-shirts , stickers, caps)... believe me, a lot of money will be spent on this, just ordering T-shirts alone will cost about 50,000 rubles.
So it is much more profitable and economical to come to a ready-made site.

It is almost impossible to get on major labels (TsAO, GazGolder, Phlatline, Respect), they already have their own built-in policy, people and they are fine without you.

We invite you to work with the RUS RAP PRODUCTION corporation/label.
Why a corporation? Because we work not only with performers, but also with Dancers, Graffiti Artists, Racers and other people who, to one degree or another, represent street culture.
Our corporation will be exactly 1 year old on October 1, during which time we have had our own website (rusrappro.ru), a recording studio in Ulyanovsk and Moscow, and our artists also have constant practice on the hip-hop scene, as well as cooperation with other companies (Radio, shops, etc.), will soon open its own store, TV channel and radio station.
In general, a lot has been done in 1 year, and the work is in full swing.
The reason for writing this article was the collaboration with the Hip-Hop Social Network "Vrespecte".

Unfortunately, the chances of getting on the label as a performer are small, since we have very good ones of our own, but you can send your material (Tracks, clips, photos, bio) to [email protected] marked for entry, we will consider all applications and respond to all.
If you are a dancer, graffiti artist or any other representative of street culture, then the chances of getting on the label are 80%, also send information about yourself, about your street business to [email protected]

Its topic is what services will help an independent artist do without a label.

They will help distribute QUALITY (according to the label) content, in principle, although, as far as I know, not always. They will help with connections (clip makers, rotations, etc.). They will, again, help in SMM. Invest money in distributing your “hit”. But in any case, an established Russian label’s main resource is its own base of listeners attracted to the label’s top artists. Gas holder is definitely Basta. Black Star - Timan, L "One. Respect - Caste.

Very roughly speaking, the main thing that a major Russian label can do is to let its fans listen to the songs of a new artist. And there the material is already being distributed (threw it to a friend to listen to, hung it on the wall, and so on). The second is “pumped up” concert management. There is already a database of organizers to whom new artists can be sold. But if the artist doesn’t “click,” this shop will quickly close. In the second round, few people will take a person who does not collect.

Everything else, in principle, can be organized by the artist himself, without a label.

Shoot a video - with the advent of cameras that shoot video, the same number of directors appeared. With different levels of product quality. Finding it is not a problem.

Send a clip to TV - all channels have open contacts to which clips are sent. If you like it, they will put it on air.

Radio - if the song is not in format, then the label will not help. No matter how popular L"One is, no matter what platforms it gathers, it is not on the “big” radio. And the discussed Basta is unlikely to boast of dense rotations.

Monitoring the illegal use of your content on the Internet - CDBaby very quickly blocks videos on YouTube with illegal content.

Therefore, be that as it may, at the moment, 90% of everything depends on the artist and the material that he produces. From his desire to climb to the top of this mountain. From his efficiency and independence. If everything is ok with these moments, then the label will do its part and launch the artist into outer space - to conquer new heights.

Yes, it may seem to you that your idol is about to shoot up the whole country and go on a grand tour, just by putting his mark on a 7-year contract. But it’s not a fact that millions of other listeners who fill the halls, buy tickets and, sometimes, even songs on iTunes, have the same opinion. It’s not a fact that your idol is ready for this... And in this situation, the label doesn’t really decide anything.

The author before burying a gas tank or any other energy source.
It was necessary to make a thermal calculation of how many kW. You need heat per year. And then with these numbers, consider what to bet.
When Clients ask me how long a gas tank will last them? I immediately ask the question: how many kW of heat do you need per year? No information, no answer...
Before installing the gas tank, I should have come here and listened/read what people wrote, now is there any point in “waving your fists after a fight”?
Well, how do gas tank installers know what gas consumption you will have?
Now the advice is the following - install automatic heating systems, which will save you gas...
Putting 4600 liters on a house with an area of ​​400 sq. m is crazy... A minimum of 6400-6800 liters is needed.

Good day everyone! I am building myself a house for permanent residence, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug region, Siberia.

The house is wooden, made of 200mm profiled timber, stands on a reinforced concrete base (completely monolithic basement - for a garage, boiler room, etc., etc.

For various reasons I have not been able to connect to gas for two years now, but the problem is slowly being solved. And in order not to freeze the house the second winter, I decided to take on temporary heating. I solve many problems with this and have the opportunity to do interior decoration of the house!

Initial data:
Base - about 150 square meters
Living area - approximately 250 square meters.
A total of almost 400 square meters of heated area.

Base insulation: 10 cm extruded foam.
The wall itself is 30 cm of concrete

Insulation of the house and roof: 20 cm cotton wool, density 35
Walls: 200 mm profiled timber

It is planned to heat the house to approximately a level of +15...+18 degrees - no more!
Taking into account insulation and the overall energy efficiency of insulation, the temporary (and eventually emergency) boiler was planned to have a capacity of 25 kW.

I chose between electricity, diesel, pellets and gas holder.
At work, we tried everything except gas - so I fully understand and know what electricity, diesel and pellets are. And also the simplicity/high cost of the first option and the hassle with the last two.

But the gas tank is an unknown and incomprehensible thing for me. I started googling.
First of all, I like the ease of use! This is not a smelly solarium, this is not daily cleaning of a boiler using pellets and loading them into the boiler. This is not the risk of a power outage with subsequent results...

Secondly, with a gas holder I will have a completely autonomous heat source in case of an apocalypse! Well, or a breakdown of the main boiler. And as an option - the opportunity to install a gas electric generator! That is, complete autonomy is on the horizon, even in case the electricity/natural gas/etc is cut off!
Tempting? Tempting!

Therefore, without thinking twice, I went to talk to those who deal with these same gas tanks. They were recommended to me by the guys who are currently installing heating in my house.

And their speeches were sweet, and the price of heating was pleasantly cheap according to their own calculations. Deal!
It was planned to bury a container of 2.7 m3, which should have been enough for me for at least half of the heating season.

But something went wrong, someone mixed something up and they buried a gas tank with the volume 4.6m3. We pumped 4000 liters of gas there.
Of course, I could have forced them to dig up and re-bury what I paid for. But they provided me with a good installment plan and the decision was made - let it be so! There will be no hassle with refueling in the middle of winter!

I spent 60 thousand rubles (15 rubles per liter) for this pleasure. By the way, the gas tank itself ended up costing almost 400 thousand rubles for everything.

Bottom line: ACCORDING TO PROMISES, 4000 liters should have been more than enough for me for the entire heating season. That is, there should still be enough for the next season for the first month.
IMHO, as an engineer by training, I allowed for an error in the calculations and in my heart I was prepared for the fact that the gas could run out, for example, in May! That is, the cost of heating would cost me 12 thousand rubles. Quite acceptable, in my opinion. It was promised to be much more interesting - about 8,500 rubles per month.

We started up on December 15, as soon as the heating was installed in the basement.
Just before the New Year, the first floor of the house was opened. And after the New Year holidays the house was fully heated.
I would like to note that our winter this year is extremely mild - there are almost no frosts, maximum -25, more often -15...-20. For our region, this is actually VERY warm.

And so, not even two months have passed... On February 12, the boiler went out... Of course, I was in a panic!
The trial began... Personally, the director of the company himself calculated and proved that my boiler consumes at least 50 liters of gas per day... MINIMUM! And taking into account the warming up of the house in December and the week-long frosts at Epiphany at -45, I should have had enough gas for these two months!

As a result, instead of the promised 8.5-12 thousand rubles per month for heating, I suddenly received 25-30 thousand.
For that kind of money, taking into account the cost of a gas holder, I could heat myself with both diesel and pellets - and would remain in PROFIT. Or heat yourself with electricity and perhaps you would also make a profit! (I definitely didn’t count).

How so?
Someone will say that a sucker is fate. Or I googled it badly. Or a fool. Maybe. Everything is possible at once!
But what else could I do but not trust these “specialists” if I myself don’t understand the issue of gas tanks? And you can’t really find REAL reviews on the Internet... And are everyone’s cases strictly individual?
For this reason, I decided to write so that there are fewer SUCKERS like me! I have learned a good lesson and will try to convey at least an approximate, in my opinion, algorithm of actions for gasifying a house.

FIRST my mistake when communicating with the gas workers came at the moment when they did not ask for either the technical plan of my house or those. the passport of the planned boiler (I bought it myself), nor the building insulation scheme.
These are the initial data that will help you find out at least the approximate gas consumption with an accuracy of 25%.
It turns out they promised me three boxes without even verifying their calculations. And I hung my ears in joy and joyfully accepted the noodles on my ears.

SECOND mistake: the mobile gas tank installation technician didn’t even bother to report to his superiors that all their calculations were WRONG. Two months later, the same master filled it exactly like that - the gas tank is not enough even for half a winter... Well done, well done. During.

THIRD my mistake: neither in the contract, nor in the acts, nor anywhere else were any calculations for selecting the capacity and approximate gas consumption included. These calculations weren’t even on a piece of paper in the manager’s notebook! AT ALL! That is, two months later, in their office, I realized that all our communication was oral and all the calculations were at random.
I suspect that if such calculations were asked to be included in the gasification agreement, then the manager would at least begin to more carefully calculate the gas I need.
But I somehow doubt that any company will decide to include such a clause in the contract. It's fraught! But did you understand me? Somehow we need to force them to calculate in a down-to-earth way how much the heating season will cost!

Something like this... I understand perfectly well that I myself am also to blame for this misfortune - I didn’t make sure, I didn’t ask any question once again... And I hope this opus will help someone!

And the moral of this fable is: a gas holder is WILDLY expensive in every sense of the word.
Feel free to multiply by two what they tell you in the office.
Request a detailed calculation of the required amount of gas, justified by your house design, heating design and boiler documentation! REQUEST IT IN WRITING! Preferably pinned to the contract, if possible.
And then perhaps they will show you the real numbers.

And if you behave like me, then later in the office they will bat their eyes and shrug their shoulders. And they will prove with numbers that you are wrong, and in general it was you who deceived them...
