Transfiguration dull bathroom into a neat bathroom. Economical repair. Dismantling, preparation of surfaces

In the last article, I explained how I decided to repair combined bathroom "Khrushchev" type as outlined a plan of action to choose and buy materials for finishing.

So, everything you need in the palm of my hand, it's time to get to work. But before you create and refine your home, comes the first stage of repair, which is unlikely to please the eye, but is essential in any project with a secondary housing. This step - dismantling and preparation of surfaces for immediate finishing.

Armed with a crowbar, claw hammer, a screwdriver and a spatula, I begin to release the seat:

- First of all, break and makes home-made cabinets and shelves, clothes dryer, plywood covering obschedomovoy riser.

- after disconnecting it from the sewer, bath is not easily detached from the wall, legs kicking a sledgehammer. Since every penny counts, I'm not too lazy to load it into the car and drive to the point of scrap metal. Revenue - 1200 rubles.

- The new toilet is disconnected from water supply and sewage, and carried out of the room.

- Using a spatula remove the old polystyrene ceiling tiles. Since it is planned to build a false ceiling, not necessarily to tear off the old glue and whitewash. Removes only what is easy moves.

- Khrushchev's window and frame him break out on both sides.

- peeling paint is removed from the wall wherever possible. Use a putty knife and a metal brush.

- Also removed ill keep enamel with radiator pipes, with the aim of ensuring good adhesion of a new layer of enamel. Use cord-beater brush on a drill. It is important not to overdo it, because the tube itself is not new and can be damaged.

- The room is swept out and washed thoroughly, remove all debris, cobwebs, dust, etc. Although it is optional, but will be much more pleasant to work with.

Now, before you install new materials, you need to pay attention to the condition of the walls and ceiling, and eliminate all the defects that will be hidden under the panels.

- Holes and cracks, it is desirable to fill with foam.

- Instead of the window, I placed two pieces of chipboard.

- If somewhere picks up moisture, or on the walls of a fungus is present, it is desirable to process the data portions of liquid glass or other waterproofing agent. Otherwise, the mold will be formed under the panels.

- Professionals recommend before installing the panels, to handle all the walls with primer. Personally, I did not see the need for this and therefore missed the point.

After these procedures, our bathroom looks though strashnenko, but spacious and clean. Now you can start to create!
