When the "Khrushchev" tired... (repairs in the apartment where there was no heating for three years)

click fraud protection

In 2018 I purchased the usual one-room apartment that resembled something like a silent horror, but not home. During the three years prior to the acquisition, it no one had lived, utilities debts are sky-high, because the apartment was cut off from benefits. Three winters she stood without heating, light and water. In general - a nightmare.

The apartment has a conventional layout, a corridor with a "booth" -kladovkoy meter on, a kitchen (though 11 m2), combined bathroom and one large room of 20 m2. Total area - 37,2 m2. All this oppressive "grayness" to such a degree tired that he decided to repair with the change of borders and the walls of the apartment.

I live alone, there are many visitors, sometimes you need to be alone with someone, and a large room to do so first impulse was therefore to isolate such a favorite area to allow privacy even in the presence of guests.

For this:

doghouse meter has been dismantled first;
wall that partitioned off the kitchen from the hallway, waiting for the same fate;

Entrance into the room, which was just the audio line from the entrance door, laid with bricks;
in the wall of the kitchen "cut through" the input in the form of an arch with space for countertops, which was perfectly separated the kitchen from the room;
in a room made of brick area, the size of which has taken on the basis of the size of the sofa in the unfolded form, and the height of a brick raised the general level.

The result was a large hall area, which has become a great corner furniture. It has a large stock of spaciousness and blends. Increased and the kitchen, which now has two zones - working and dining. The apartment was brighter, as both window now cover the maximum area.

Plasterboard walls leveled, especially the one that separated the hall from the room, apparently trainees from vocational schools (it is just a stone's throw from the house) wall lozhili as run from floor to ceiling on the level reached in places 8-10 cm. Throw a plaster layer is inexpedient. Once, on the walls pasted wallpaper and ready. The ceiling in the entrance hall, kitchen and bathroom - plastic. On the floor in the hallway and the room - laminate flooring, kitchen and bathroom tiles, and in the "corner" for sleep - carpet.

The walls of the latter are also aligned with plasterboard, and the ceiling made a special design for the band of illumination, which creates a pleasant atmosphere for sleep or a more active holiday. On one wall pokleit Desktop, which did not face more than 30 years. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of paper and pasting the walls easily.

On the outer side wall dealt a decorative plaster, had lights and hung pictures in the future.

I stayed one wall is not covered while attention. I just have not figured out what it will design and what kind of load it will carry. This is what I will write in the next article.
