The apartment was in a terrible state. On the walls of a fungus, cracks in the ceiling, the wall curves (repair itself)

Every family from time to time think about the repairs. Someone hires contractors, someone is trying to make their own beauty repairs, and we did a major repair their own hands. By purchasing a three bedroom apartment, we immediately knew: "You need to work hard." The apartment was in a terrible state. On the walls of a fungus on the ceiling of the huge gap, the wall curves.

Work plan:

• Processing of the walls of the fungus.
• Setting lighthouses
• Leveling walls
• Finishing stucco
• Floor Fill
• Laying tiles
• The adhesive wallpaper
• Stretch ceiling
• Linoleum
• Moldings

All our budget was 600 TR It is not enough a lot, but not enough for those who make major repair their own hands. Before buying building materials, we visited all the shops and compare the prices, and then purchase. Even the difference in 10rubley, during overhaul, a major saving.
Processing the walls of the fungus.

In DIY stores sold the mass of means to kill and protect against fungus. The fungus is a living organism. Usually occurs in wet areas, in a corner apartment on the first floor. Bring it not just enough. Means for removing mildew are relatively expensive, but as the practice of hard to bring it. Having studied the internet, I learned that the fungus remarkably removes the usual white. But it has a very pungent smell, so it is necessary to use a mask and rubber gloves. Roller with white I handled the affected areas, wait until dry. Then, a wire brush removed from the walls of the remains. The next thing to do is to handle the means of the store from the re-emergence. The walls are treated.

Exhibiting lighthouses.
For the next step, we need:
• Lighthouses (available at any hardware store)
• Rules (the more, the better)
• Volmasloy
Before proceeding to the alignment of the walls, we ordered box. The installer put the smooth slopes, after which it became clear at what level we navigate. Somewhere proved level of 4-5 cm from the wall, and somewhere had caved. Now there are a lot of tools for level measurements. We used a laser level, but where it was more convenient to measure the usual plumb. They measure hard, but it is more convenient for those who are accustomed to. Gypsum plaster is gone a lot. 62 m², came about 50 bags. Plaster attacks the wall and spread the rule from the bottom up, gather the excess of plaster with a trowel and then pounce on the wall. And so from one span between beacons to another.

Finishing plaster.
Finish we took a dry, since it costs cheaper. It is necessary to add water and building an electric mixer to beat until desired consistency. She should get a supple, and not very thick. On the wall applied in a thin layer, several times. It fills minor irregularities and prepares the wall for wallpaper.

Fill the floor.
After all the work done with the walls, and you can begin to self-leveling floor. Floors should also be smooth, especially if you are going to be laid, laminate or hardwood floor. We chose a little economical option - linoleum. The floors are also exhibited by a lighthouse and pour. Filler floor is sand-cement mixture, dries so quickly enough to avoid irregularities, it is necessary to add a sufficient amount of water. Allow to dry for at least a day.

Laying tiles.
Laying tile is one of the hardest lessons, so most professionals hire and pay an exorbitant price. When the walls are given in perfect condition laid tiles much easier. Here we are again needed a plumb line, so all the walls of tile begins with a single level. Since we have chosen two colors, brown and white, level counted from the bath. Markings painted on the wall. For smooth holes between tiles, recycled building carnation. Where it was necessary to cut, here to help plitkarez was, well, or at least the case of the Bulgarian with a disk of stone. After the tile is laid, special joints are filled with grout. Previously, there was only white, now you can buy green, pink, for every taste and color.

Adhesive wallpaper.
I think that every once pasted wallpaper. Wallpaper we chose expensive, washable. Here there are tweaks on packages sometimes write that vinyl, but in fact they are non-woven. Vinyl glued better. It is best to start from the corner. For smooth crop is better to take a good knife stationery. Though producers say that the glue should be applied only on the wall, it is better to put on wallpaper and the wall. Flatten the bubbles need special butterfly, it is remarkable expels excess air, and the work goes much faster. Before sizing you need to check whether there is a draft, otherwise all efforts wasted.

Linoleum.
 Since the floors take on a whole load of everyday life, then the linoleum we have chosen the road. In my opinion, this is the easiest stage. You need to make the right measurements. Excess office knife cut on the spot. Before you cut, linoleum need to lie down, to align. The joints between the rooms are connected with special metal nut.

Ceiling moldings.
Who glued baseboard know it is not easy. Basically all use titanium glue. Applied to the plinth and keep, just in the time it falls off. But they told me a great reception, I want to share. Glue needed to finish plaster. Evenly distribute the finish of the plinth, fastened on the wall, presses and all. With no extra effort and nerves. This is best done before sizing wallpaper. But if we knew before, be sure to have done so. We had to very carefully to glue, so as not to stain the wallpaper.

Conclusion.
Our repair lasted three months. For repairs came to 500 thousand. rubles. As a result, we have saved 100 thousand. You could save a little more. For example, several times I call the movers, so they carried debris. Wallpapers can be chosen cheaper. And all the rest, and so minimized. You need to buy a good building materials, but you can find them cheaper. We took the good stuff, just looking for where it is cheaper. Repairs over.
