Repair

Repair … how much of this word for the heart of Russian merged! How does it our way: to start a spontaneous repair and in the process to seek temporary shelter until the dry floor, falling into despair, there is not enough money for missing materials, curse shabashniki and put up with disruption for many months.

How to avoid this grim picture? Our advice is – get ready to repair! To start, determine what kind of work you need: cosmetic, or major renovation. On the recommendations of good friends find themselves aides, calculating with them, as needed materials and time to execute his plan. And finally, please be patient and willing to carefully examine construction work.

If the repair once the apartment is not possible, repairs should begin with the farthest from the entrance door of the room and continue, gradually approaching the hallway. The explanation is simple: to carry garbage pails svezheotremontirovannym rooms or paint can not entirely prudent.

A sequence of repair work is clear and independent of personal preferences Brigade, work through all the questions on a theoretical level. Namely, make a design project or a sketch, using the services of a professional designer or available on the Internet with special programs. Services specialist, usually cost a lot, so this infusion of power is justified only in case of renovation.

Active phase of repair, as expected, start with demolition work: removing old wallpaper, plaster, whitewash, flooring, door assemblies, as well as, of course, with the redevelopment. Very often, even when finishing suddenly discover that some part, condemned to demolition, is missing. And we have a large part of the remodel, and very slowly and carefully, so that the new destruction to a minimum. So once again turn our attention to the need for a project that will be amended in the discussion stage, but not in the process of repair!

When garbage is removed and erected new walls, installation of floor heating is performed, the unit of peskobetona tie, perpendicular alignment of the ceiling. Once the screed is laid and leveled, it is necessary to wait for it to dry. For different materials is very different this time, what you learn from the instructions on the package. At the same stage in a new wiring is laid. Be sure to draw a diagram of wiring, so you do not begin to drill holes or drive nails where the wire passes! Before laying the wiring carefully check with the plan, not to be mistaken with the location of outlets and switches.

In the kitchen, bathroom, toilet before electrical work is carried out changing the pipeline, the layout of pipes and sewerage supply, installation of new sinks, tubs, toilets, towel warmer. The last thing to fit tiles, erected mounting frames for hanging plumbing.

Fixtures, as well as electrical wiring, should be restricted to specialist corresponding profile. “Jack of all trades” may be something overlooked.

At the end of this step is set air conditioning and an iron door at the entrance.

Next problem – replacement windows. This work is quite dirty, especially the dismantling of old window frames. Installed windows, and especially window sills, you must immediately close a solid plastic film so as not to spoil them in the course of further work.

Further, at the request of the owner form decorative niches of the drywall and suspended ceiling.

Now you can safely move on to the plaster works that run from top to bottom, ie from the ceiling and consistently down to the floor. This is one of the longest stages of repair, as each new layer of the mixture is applied only to fully dried prior. And the walls in our house, as a rule, such that these layers may need a lot …

Once laid parquet, laminate, cork or other cover, comes the turn of the installation of doors, locks and door trims. Finally, stained walls and glued wallpaper, skirting boards are placed. Period depends on the finishing techniques and materials, and the apartment to the delight of all completely transformed.

For dessert, still and video intercoms, built in cupboards, take the legitimate place of fixtures, appliances, accessories and decorative items.

Here, perhaps, the entire general plan for a modern overhaul apartments. Hopefully, this will help you calculate all the little things to survive in cold blood and all the tests.
