We were able to it! Repair "old odnushki" in brick chetyrehetazhke 50 years of construction

Its history repair one-bedroom apartment shared with us a subscriber.

When my wife and I moved in together, as often happens, we have got the housing problem. We did not want to live with their parents, and so we decided to move to one-bedroom apartment, which went to my father inherited and empty. This decision marked the beginning of an interesting repair.

About apartment

The apartment is located in a brick chetyrehetazhke 50s building and was in poor condition: in some places otpadyvala sand plaster, wooden floors and windows rassohlis, plumbing and electrical wiring in working condition. The ceiling height was only 2.3 m!

However, we have seen how much does not frightened and it was decided to carry out a complete renovation!

dismantling

He took the most time, and became the most tedious stage. And it was tiring for us, and for the neighbors. They, by the way, one should pay tribute and say thank you for what they endured many months of this noise!

• First, we discussed the wooden floor. When dismantling revealed a pleasant circumstance floor joists was high due to which, its overall height from floor slabs made more than 20 cm. What does this mean for us? This meant that we were able to lower the height of the new floor and achieve so the ceiling height of 2.5 m! It's great.

• With walls completely repulsed plaster. So at this stage, we brought a lot of inconvenience to neighbors, working puncher. Plaster piled in building bags and carried on a container platform.

When dismantling the plaster removed all the wiring.

Council.

In the modern home uses plenty of household appliances, so the repair immediately do as many outlets, so you do not run with an extension cord.

Because of irregularities slabs elevation was 8 cm (in this thickness, in fact, we have hidden wiring). Pour a layer of concrete by hand is difficult, so we decided to make a leveling screed of lightweight polystyrene concrete. The mixture was kneaded themselves puncher and leveled regulation on pre-exposed to the beacons. This screed facilitated work and increased noise insulation. The final alignment of the completed Self-leveling floor.

After finishing with the floor, plastered main walls with gypsum plaster on galvanized beacons. Walls previously primed. Lighthouses of the walls is not removed, even though many recommend to do it. When the plaster mounted installation boxes for switches and receptacles.

Finished with main walls, partitions started. These we have made of plasterboard on metal profile. The configuration of the walls, we slightly changed from the original, in accordance with the selected design project.
