Repair and construction of a new apartment in a total area of 40 sq.m.
Briefly about for whom the apartment: I am 28 years old, I bought and repaired an apartment for themselves, plan to live in it alone, including without animals; with friends I used to meet in a cafe or arrange gatherings in the kitchen - all this explains the layout of the apartment.
Little about the apartment: a rough finish, the total area of 40 square meters. m, of which 4 - loggia, located on the top floor of a 25-storey building. With balconies overlooking the city and the Volga River in the distance, so it was initially planned to install panoramic windows and combine a loggia with a room, However, the management company, has established a ban on these alterations, and many courts are not part of my plans, so plan remained old.
The first stage of repair was the erection of walls from concrete blocks, one separated the corridor from the room, removed the second ledge formed in the kitchen because of the ventilation shaft.
Next was made electrical wiring and pipes. Later, when connecting sockets and rasklyuchenii flap, it became clear that not all of them work, had to make external cable channels, a good thing for the furniture to be seen. The supply pipes to the sink in the bathroom should be altered too, since there was a plumber in advance It stated that the planned installation of countertops and sinks, bowls - they require a higher withdrawal pipes.
The apartment is provided only two doors, front and into the bathroom, left openings in the other rooms. All the walls in addition to the wet zone in the bathroom and an apron in the kitchen preparing for painting. Builders, plasterers walls were not sufficiently competent and with the task failed: walls going wave, corners were filled with, at different levels openings - had to say goodbye to them and find other specialists. Correcting the mistakes of others led to a general rise in the cost of repair. The walls were eventually leveled, plastered with fiberglass, glazed and painted with white paint on the ceiling in the bedroom has a socket in the bedroom and the kitchen ceiling moldings from foam installed. On the floor in all rooms laid tile in the bedroom - laminate. In the kitchen and the hallway Estima grade tile on the bathroom walls and floor Mei-ceramics. Floor skirting MDF width of 100 mm were mounted on acrylic adhesive, sutures coated with sealant.
In the bedroom plaster ceiling, all the other tension. The corridor ceiling located under tension beam to which planned mounting sliding doors to separate dressing area. However, after the installation of storage systems, it was found that the beam is set to the wrong distance, so the dressing room had been left open.
The bathroom has installation Grohe, toilet and acrylic bathtub Roca, sink unknown brand, worktop made of solid oak saw cut is made to order.
The kitchen is equipped Ikea furniture, all appliances - dishwasher, washing machine, ceramic hob, oven, refrigerator - built. one large pencil case, inside which there is a place for the air outlet grille and socket under microwave is provided for storage.
In the bedroom, yet a minimum of furniture: shelves, bed baladhinom and bedside table, as the custom of the saw cut maple.
Repair was started in February and ended in May. Took much time alterations, as well as a lot of time spent on dry surfaces, as winter was very wet.
