Eliminate the sad state of the toilet. Budget repairs on their own
apartment on the secondary housing with a "European style" has recently been acquired. Only this concept in the Russian reality can mean anything - from painting walls to the marble cladding. In the purchase of housing it was a state suitable for life, but of course, also want to change everything for themselves. I scheduled an autumn vacation and Skopje was a small amount of money to improve the apartment. The first room, which is begging for repair - a toilet. It is mandatory to estimates drawn up for the upcoming remake. Pre 25 thousand were counted. rubles, including the fact that all the work will be carried out independently. Trains to the shops of the city, were acquired: tiles, glue, plaster, PVC panels, water heating, lighting and toilet.
This terrible condition had a bathroom - tiles on the walls, turning into plastic panels on the ceiling the same yellowed PVC with halogen lamps. It is noteworthy that the toilet was behind a sink! It may, of course, someone is convenient to wash their hands after all the cases, but obviously not for me. However, the fact that under the sink plumbing has been redone with good fittings played only on hand, simplifying the connection of the water heater. But first, take a punch, a set of keys and start the dismantling of all this ugliness.
This room appeared without finishing. One can see that the house is still Soviet-built, when between the toilet, bathroom and kitchen installed windows. The previous owners, in order of "renovation", these openings were bricked up. At least on this thank you. On the walls, I counted about 4 layers of wallpaper, with the earliest (probably from the time of construction), were drawing greens and just incredibly difficult to tear off. It required quite abundantly wet and hard to work with a spatula in order to remove them. Ventilation in the toilet is implemented poorly - made a narrow channel, and ventilation. riser located in the bathroom. I had to work puncher, increasing the aperture. The only thing that was done relatively well - a screed on the floor. Check the level it was successful. At this stage, it became clear that not exactly do without leveling plaster walls. Blotches on a tile will be very dreary display - literally sculpt vertical. It is much easier and faster on the prepared surface of the glue on the ridge. In preparation, the walls were primed betonkontaktom Ceresit CT19.
After the wall has dried, it was installed on the metal beacons blotch of Knauf Fugen solution. I like to use them because of its properties quickly gain the necessary strength. On the wall with a spatula was sketching out plaster for damp rooms Prospectors MIXTER, having good ductility and reasonable price. Using the 2 meter rule gradually leveled off the plane.
While the plaster dried up, it was decided to put the tiles on the floor. In order to visually correct curvature premises diagonal direction chosen. Of course, so cutting out is not small, but the end result is very pleasing to the eye. I used a tile adhesive Knauf Fliesen and large comb. Started to spread to the center, then went to the outside.
The next day, after the plaster walls become hidden communication falshkoroba. To this were purchased from trimming moisture resistant plasterboard Knauf GSP - H2 9.5 mm and 5 sticks starting profile. Immediately been stretched wire 2x2.5 mm below an outlet for the cylinder.
It began the most exciting process - laying the tiles. I decided to start from the marked horizon, not the bottom. Because that will lay out the entire volume of the day, and no number is not float. I used the same adhesive Knauf fleece and a comb 8 mm. Crosses taking 1.5 mm in order that the seam less noticeable turned and neat. I must say that I was lucky to buy a tile with a more or less good geometry, which significantly simplifies the process of its installation. The most important thing - to see to it to always observe the direction of the movement pattern. It is indicated on the back of the tiles in the form of arrows. Cutting using a conventional tile cutter and grinder. After drying, the tiles, I quickly jammed joints grout Ceresit CE40 pleasant beige.
This type of toilet acquired after tiling. It remains only to raise the ceiling to hang a water heater and mount the toilet. I have already said that I was lucky with the prepared by the old master plumbing wiring. But mess with the connection still had a water heater. I used a flexible liner for hot and cold water. Alternatively, you can cook from polypropylene, but decided not to bother and temporarily install it so. Toilet got no problem, all the good mount, and corrugated hoses were purchased new. Ceiling going from normal white opaque PVC panels 10 mm in thickness. Fastened to the wall with a plastic fillet glued to the tile on liquid nails Moment-installation. On the ceiling was installed LED lamp, power of 6 watts. That is enough to illuminate such a small space. All wiring connections between a performed on the terminal block WAGO.
That came renovation project to its end. Room bathrooms noticeably changed, became a pleasant and functional. In certain estimates managed to get, of course, failed. It was about 28 thousand rubles. But the result is clearly worth it. I need the following tools: 3 plastic bucket, a brush is broad, wide and narrow spatula, typically 2 meters long, with a hammer drill on concrete 6 mm and 8 mm, for blade gun, a nozzle mixer, Tile, comb 10 and 8 mm, Bulgarian, metal shears level, screwdriver, gas and carob clues indicator screwdriver, roulette and pencils building. Materials took a bit, but the remains could be applied in the future repair of the apartment.
