Errors in my repair: who is to blame and what to do. I got in the end

I always wanted to have your cozy, comfortable house, where I could rest in comfort from the vanity of the world. And, having got his "three-ruble note," I have dreamed about how will build from the murdered, renovated twenty years ago the apartment a comfortable little world with a good design.

I prepared thoroughly: a couple dozen magazines on interior design, plenty to peruse the websites of repair and decoration, and in the selection of the construction team, I is not stingy - invited the workers are not on the ads, are scattered in the entrance, and on the recommendation of a good friend.

In general, it seemed to me that the repair I'm ready. But I just seemed so ...

Start.

Who visited the apartment master prudently looked flat and firmly dismissed my suggestion to leave the interior walls, removing only adjacent wall between the corridor and the toilet.

"Demolition will all" - he said authoritatively, and I agreed.

As a result, for the first week in my apartment it was demolished everything internal partitions and she began to resemble one big dirty room after the Apocalypse.

After that, the workers began to build. We must pay tribute to Brigadier - before you build a new wall (or the like), the scheme was a redevelopment apartment He agreed with me, and I even had the opportunity to modify it, adding to the separation between the kitchen and living room area figured arch.

To be honest - I'm not really penetrated initially in the nuances of the materials used. It seemed to me that people who are engaged in the construction and finish for several years now, know yourself - how best to do. So when I was told that the wall separating the bathroom from the hall, will be of gypsum board (for foam blocks are more expensive and bulkier) - I am not indignant, but simply nodded and gave money to materials.

Days passed and repair, I lived in a different place, periodically visiting his apartment and masters. On the question of whether everything was in order, I invariably nods his head and proudly hand contours already done the work.

I got in the end.

After housewarming initial euphoria has passed and I began to notice something that is not seen at the outset. I'm kind of seen the light, and saw no overall glossy picture, but what I actually got for the money.

"Papier masterpiece."

Saving on the blocks, I finally I got the wall of which is now the wallpaper come unstuck. And on the wall from the side of the hall began to emerge clearly fungus.

Moreover, this is the plasterboard partition wall is deformed and this deformation has already begun to affect the distortions of wallpaper on the corners.

And after that, I saw a large crack in the paint on the ceiling, sometimes in the bathroom I go is simply terrible: it seems that the roof slab just collapse one day my head.

Fill the floor.

Before laying the laminate floor in an apartment rented and filled again. It was only two days later began laying the laminate on top of filled mixture.

As a result, between the laminate planks were quite large and noticeable cracks. some places (where for some unknown reason to me there is no substrate), I can even see the mixture is poured floors.

Shear walls.

I was ready to go through all of what I wrote above his narrative, but shift the wall between the bathroom and kitchen of 20 centimeters - it was beyond my strength.

In discussing the layout I initially did not attach importance to such an increase that's my kitchen area by bathrooms, but in vain !!!

It turns on the Town Planning Code, as well as other requirements of legislation such change may only be on the top floor. In all other cases, to legalize this redevelopment impossible. Nothing. Even through the courts.

And considering that my apartment is located on the penultimate, the fourth floor of the five-story building, I understand that the situation I have almost hopeless - with a partition you need to do something.

Who is to blame and what to do?

So, in the end for the money I received a bunch of serious problems, some of which (oh, how am I now hate the walls of plasterboard, especially between the bathroom and the kitchen) will have to fundamentally solve.

Therefore, by reading this article, remember - no, even the best craftsmen can not be the sole and final authority in selecting materials for the repair and redevelopment configuration!

Now I'm waiting for spring, buy a sedative and getting ready to rent an apartment for my make repeated repairs to the elimination of the identified deficiencies. Fortunately, the team worked for me on a contractual basis and all corrections will be made at their expense.

After I and my good friend gradually supervise all repairs and I'm convinced, now surely all right - I will have the second stage of going through Hell - legalization plan. This question will have a professional lawyer.

So let me give you some simple but effective tips:

1. With any, even the best craftsmen always have to enter into a contract.

2. Do not skimp on materials: drywall instead of a cheap reliable foam blocks can not only threaten your wallet repeated repair, but also be a direct threat to the safety of you and your loved ones

3. Combine the flight of fantasy design with the requirements of the current legislation that not all walls can be moved and every room to increase at the expense of another. Before making such move partitions, consult with a lawyer.
