Small bathroom (cheeky reworking of space)
Small bathroom - it is a punishment, perhaps, for the sins in a past life. Having lived in the apartment of a typical Soviet building 30 years, my husband and I decided that a fully atone, and decided on a bold remaking.
Our WC was composed of a cast-iron bath, washing machine - rather big size, toilet, sink and tray Lily the cat. Enter there could only sideways. To enter together, and speech could not be.
Audacity was that - to throw out the old tub, but instead to organize a shower.
Drew a rough plan. Pre-mapped sockets. We investigated the prices of construction materials. Prices did not like., Turned out to expensive tiled four walls up to the ceiling.
So, we decided we only employ the shower area and floor. But - a beautiful, Spanish tiles. Looking ahead to say: it has paid off.
We invited the superintendent, who was found on the Internet. He calculated the repair time and cost. Slapped on the hands (signed contract) and the transformation began.
A team of two guys quickly dismantled all unnecessary. Toilet, however, had to leave. Changed with a new one on the last day.
How was the repair of items
1. Dismantle your old plumbing.
2. Bringing down the tiles.
Workers exposed perforator angle future wet zone to the brick. Dust were many. Red clouds covered the entire apartment. Beating even the laptop keyboard - gently covering of film. It did not help, and polyethylene hanging in the doorway.
We took it too lightly. And it was a big mistake.
Advice to those who are going to have to deal with the old brick walls - it is necessary to very carefully wrap up technique, subjects with perforation. The fact that no wash out or ottryahnut then not work.
3. Shtroblenie under communication. To pipe and outlet for washing machine hidden in the wall.
4. electrical wiring.
5. Waterproofing floor.
6. Leveling plaster shower corner.
The construction of the podium height of 17 cm with a side and a bias toward the center. Installation of a wide ramp for rapid discharge.
7. Laying tiles. Staining surfaces.
8. Installing sinks and appliances.
The shell-shaped trough tightly sealed with a plug. In such a bowl and soak zastiryvat convenient. Basins are no longer needed.
All construction works took exactly 10 days, and a small amount.
It has been almost 3 years, everybody still delighted with the spacious bathroom. Especially the cat, who spends his spare time favorite under the sink in the tray.
