Repair in a house that was not suitable for living, decided to start from the floor replacement

Repair in a house that was not suitable for living, decided to start from the floor replacement. The room is planned for the nursery, it is rotten to the core. The smell from under him was musty, blame the accumulation of construction waste and the lack of heating in the house for a long time no one lived.

Repairs done independently without involving construction crews or other assistants. To disassemble, bear rotten logs and planks needed one day. Special equipment is not required, only the iron scrap.

The floor structure was very simple, it is not modern technology when it turns out after laying a real sandwich of several layers of different materials. Now, this floor would call rough.

Logs crumbled without assistance. They were not fixed, just lying on the pile of bricks supports. After clearing the room, removal of construction debris, could construct a new bar for support. It turned out that the old brick columns were kept on parole, between the layers did not even have a solution.

Under lags specific gaps remain in the walls. At room 5m it took 6 bars. According to one put in each wall, the rest are distributed in about a meter. But first for them from the same bricks piled bars, well we missed them with cement mortar.

The next layer was a roughing of the board. Buy ordinary pine boards. They are not always the correct form, but it is not required. They are placed is not tight, but with a small gap, across the beam. On top of the floor laid OSB panels, they dock with no gaps.

The final layer is decided to make of wood. We bought a special floorboard. In each there is a slot that allows you to join the die, as a laminate. But the length of the blackboard 2.5 m. To the series did not go, they were fixed within the groove with small nails. Get a smooth fabric with a noticeable seam. It can be avoided if the laid planks of laminate technology, shifting each row. But we did not like that option.

repair finals - painting for lovers of colored floors. We preferred clearcoat, which struck in two layers. Sex is ready, he is "walking" cold misses and does not require special care.
