Home - 1974 Buildings, the last repair was back in 1989. It was necessary to change everything.
The scope of work was large (the total area of the apartment is 50 "squares"), the budget is a limited (our family is young, and it is particularly some kind of helping) and the deadlines very much, because we are waiting for the birth of a child.
To save, most of the work did themselves.
The kitchen is small, 6.9 "squares". We decided to abandon the door, replacing it on the arch. Laid window from the kitchen to the toilet.
Began with the dismantling of the floor, as he rotted so much that no restoration was subject to. Dismantling held a husband.
Then collided with the problem of power supply. In the buildings of those years in the kitchen there was only one outlet, so I had to hold a new wiring. Since there were electrician among our acquaintances, work cost much human thanks.
After that, they invited the team of workers. Their work includes:
- fill screed and laying floor tiles;
- extension of 15 cm wall and cutting arches;
- laying tiles in the working area;
- alignment and painting of the ceiling (due to the presence of the gas column, the rest dropped);
- Alignment and processing of walls under sticking with wallpaper.
All work they performed with their own materials, we gave them 500 dollars for everything. (Tile we bought Berezovskaya, on the floor - "parquetry G" brown, and on the walls - a collection of "retro", for all - 200 dollars).
Family friend was engaged in water and gas supply (for a symbolic fee of 30 dollars).
The batteries did not change, but simply repainted. Used car paint in the ballots (very easy to use, falls smoothly, dries quickly).
Wallpaper chose longer than all. In the search for the right color, all the shops of the city traveled around and spent an exorbitant time, but I just found stunning. Wallpaper German, vinyl fluelinic. A roll width of 51 cm cost $ 40. It took three rolls. Wallpaper adhesive themselves with her husband, quickly, easily and with a smile.
All furniture bought in Laguna. They stopped in the kitchen "Hope 2.1", which passed through some modifications in order to fit into our kitchen. There were also a table set.
The kitchen cost 350 dollars, a table set - at 100.
Lastra was bought in the market for $ 50.
Repair turned out to be quite budget (1 thousand 370 dollars), and time spent three weeks. But now the kitchen causes our family and all our guests only a positive mood.
And for myself, we dubbed her "spring".
