A place to live (finally finished interior decoration in the house)

Our installation work is not limited to incorporation of the window opening and plugging the hole in the wall. There was another doorway, whose width was 1.2 m, height - 2.2 m The fact that the village is not accepted to install interior doors.. All limited shtorochkami. We did not want to do "everything", so the opening should be reduced, to install a door with a 80 cm blade.

Brick as a material for sealing the opening immediately fell away. Top opening it was impossible to lay out, and the side was represented by the difficulty binding to the wall. After some thought her husband sewed the "extra" bar centimeters, and for external finishes used drywall.

I only had to make minor finishing work. I have to close up all the joints of gypsum putty. The rest of the surface of the drywall putty simultaneously with all the other walls. It looked after the putty thus:

Such an embodiment of reducing the height and width of the door opening is very good. If necessary, my husband and I will use it in the future. The most important thing in this process - the ease of installation. To handle even very inept people. A second advantage - easy Predchistovaya finish (enough putty plasterboard). The third - a simple installation of interior doors. On one side of the door frame is fixed to the brick, the other - to the bars. It's simple.

From the opening, and close up so you can make an arch. Enough to sew up the upper corners of plasterboard. Further, the arch will only putty and paint in the desired color. We were not going to do that, so after painting the walls of our doorway waited, the door will be in it.

The door we have set, but much later, when I finish with the second room. For a long time, our bedroom was hung with a piece of polyethylene to avoid getting into the construction dust.

I talk a little about our extensive work with the floors in the rooms. When we first got to the house, the floors there were a pitiful sight. Or rather, even so - it was not sexual. Instead, the gaping hole with garbage. Apparently, our house is often used by amateurs to eat and drink in a warm and friendly atmosphere, sheltered from condemning the views of neighbors.

To begin, we rolled up our sleeves and raked out all the consequences of other people's gatherings. Then it had something to do with the foundation, which began to fall apart. We did for the first time faced with the option arrangement of the foundation. It was made of stone. Later we were told that in the fifties it was not possible to bring to the village of concrete, and to do it at the construction site was not anything else. Therefore, we use an ancient technology.

We - the people today, so went the usual way. Deepened hole near the foundation to the ground, set formwork proarmirovali, and filled the entire perimeter of the concrete. When the concrete is dry, the formwork was removed. The inner walls of a new basement waterproofing bituminous coated.

The bottom of the well was filled with clay, it shed water. Above we poured layer of sand and gravel. Her we also shed water and tamp. The "extra" we removed the stones. It looked like the floor, prepared for concreting.

When dumping the sand dry out, we proceeded to the final stage of arrangement of the sexes. Along the perimeter of the room we have a bed for waterproofing. Concrete floors manually beacons. The work is very hard. Husband kneading concrete, buckets brought into the room and poured out, and I'm leveling compound "mop", which is fashioned for my husband.

Rough floor was not very smooth. In some places, the mixture has settled, and there were small holes. For a perfectly flat surface, the husband took rovnitelem floor. The mixture we bought for finishing, self-leveling.

When a little time has passed, I noticed that the floor surface is constantly accumulates cement dust. It gave some discomfort. Out of this situation I found the easiest - painted surface of a blue oil paint floor. She firmly grabbed the top layer of cement, and the dust we have forgotten. I do not know whether this is correct in terms of technology, but we have such a method is very rescued.

After finishing the walls, we lay on the floor laminate. The base under it, we have paved the cork substrate. Covering obtain reliable, he always emanated a feeling of warmth. Legs we did not feel cold even in winter.

As a finishing walls I used the glass wall, and here's why. The walls are very old houses. Guarantee that they will not appear micro cracks over time - no. We really did not want to painted walls or wallpaper were such defects. After all, even the smallest crack can "kill" all the impression of the done repair. Glass fiber due to its structure exclude the occurrence of such cracks. They are woven fiberglass. The complexity of work with such wallpaper is that they must be glued in rubber gloves. Otherwise glass gets on your skin, and you start to itch mercilessly. In any case, I wear a face mask to the face, to prevent ingress of the glass dust into the respiratory tract. In the rest of the sticker wallpaper is easy.

Once dry, I painted with latex paint wallpaper "Tex" for rooms with normal humidity. The bedroom we had painted in peach color, and living - in lilac.

This choice of colors talks about the difference of our characters with her husband. I love the warm, sunny tones, and her husband - a fan of cool colors. However, the difference in our color vision has played a positive role in the decoration of our house. We have "ice and fire" peacefully side by side with each other.

Inner trim was completed successfully. We had to save money on furniture and do work in the yard and in the garden.
