As a student rented apartment repaired

The story about the repair of the rental apartment shared with us a subscriber of Victor, the Vladimir

My name is Victor. I finished the 11th grade in the not too distant 2011, he entered the Vladimir State University. As nonresident, I was supposed to place in a hostel, but when looked at provided housing, thought it best to look for an apartment for removal.

Enough money for this: work SMM-manager on several projects, and design financial assistance from the university in the future help.

ambiguous option

Through friends of friends, friends found an apartment near the center of the city, but not in very good condition: the last tenants as He explained the owner, more than watched his "happy mood" than the state of the apartment, so they had to evicted.

Bribed location (easy access to all the right places, the whole infrastructure is nearby) and the price - only 7000 rubles without utilities. The reason is clear: we agreed that I will make repairs at its own expense. As a result, it will benefit both sides.

Further, given the price of materials for repair - rough, rounded to tens.

Getting started

The first thing I decided to start - the kitchen. Next - a bathroom. In the end - hall.

Kitchen

Now it looks as shown in the photo below.

At the time of settlement of the wallpaper were somewhere mired in oil, where some of them obviously extinguished cigarette butts. I decided to buy the cheapest and suitable new wallpapers for the kitchen. I found on Avito 5 rolls of wallpaper, sold for 150 rubles. Bargain the price down to 120 rubles and bought. Also with it were bought:

1. Covers for stools in the amount of 2 pieces. (Price: 60 rubles apiece).

2. Glue for wallpaper 1 package (price: 50 rubles per pack).

3. Oilcloth on the table 1 pc. (Price: $ 100).

4. Washing means (total price: 500 rubles).

The main problem was the apartment, of course, the smell, so I had to spend more, and general cleaning with bleach. Outcome of the kitchen renovation can be seen in the photo below.

Bathroom

The bathroom was in poor condition and almost all ceiling fittings. On the ceiling of the old paint and departed appeared fungus. In order not to waste time on the painting, took the familiar old decorative plates, which are mounted on the glue, and decided to use them.

Repair ceiling consisted of the following stages:

1. Cleaning of the old ceiling. To do this I took a wire brush, a coarse sandpaper and a planned 1.5-hour ceiling cleaned of contaminants.

2. Rubbed the ceiling of the remaining dust.

3. Surface covered with soil.

4. Glued via an adhesive plate pistol.

Also I bought the paint for 70 rubles and painted all the batteries.

Together with shelves for toiletries and mirrors bought a new plumbing (riser pipe and sink). In total, it cost 1000 rubles.

Living room / bedroom

What was a hall, terrible to say. Wallpaper just in terrible shape, the floor needed a long time even in the painting, as well as doorways and corners.

1. Wallpapers purchased under the old scheme, ie through Avito (8 rolls of wallpaper of 130 rubles apiece).

2. To paint the floor paint was bought the bank for 150 rubles.

3. For white doorways and frames used after remaining pipes in the bathroom paint.

The whole process took 3 days:

· Day 1: painting doorways, wooden frame.

· Day 2: Wallpapering.

· Day 3: floor paint.

Total

All the work has cost me 3,560 rubles. This amount has been spent on building materials and the necessary detail. Also on Avito I bought some furniture (sofa for 4000 rubles and 2 armchairs for him - every 1,000 rubles).

Landlord brought free small cabinet for TV and books for a job well done.

So I made for 9560 rubles budget repairs in the apartment, from which went to the first year of university and where he lived for 4 years following their training.
