My repairs in the bathroom and toilet (decided to combine the toilet with bathroom)

My wife and I live in a small apartment, where it is particularly indicated in the ads, separate bathroom. This is certainly not bad, but that's the size of the rooms are small. Toilet width of 85 cm and a length of 115 cm and bathroom width 170 cm and 150 cm depth.

In the bathroom is closely located even one, as there are more and sink. We started planning the expansion of the area to put stiralku, and do not rub shoulders on the wall. So we decided to combine the toilet with bathroom. This was preceded by constant planning and sketches, how to make the bathroom comfortable. We live together, so that the line on the "pot" money had to be.

First decided to remove perestenok and the front wall, where there were two entrances. Instead of two doors to be one, but it is cheaper and the hallway looks nicer. Why demolition of the front wall? With one goal - to make the bathroom more and give it a shape of a square, not a "trailer". Pulling the wall forward by the corridor, a bath can be put right by the entrance, and between the toilet and the bathroom is now fit a washing machine.

Noise and dirt

We worked with a sledgehammer, hammer and grinder undercutting reinforcement inside the concrete wall. It was noisy, but the neighbors are treated with understanding. Why did not use a sharp diamond blade wall, although it is quieter? Because of the fine dust, which then would have to clean everywhere. In this embodiment, the dust was much less than when cutting the wall.

The next step was the wall. Thought of what her lead: drywall or gazoblok? Considering the cost of delivery and installation, we decided on the drywall. The amount received is about the same, but in terms of the purity of gypsum board won, because we lived in an apartment at the time of repair.

After about a week of broken concrete and dust it was gone and there was a wall. Doorway decided to do in the middle of the wall, so that when you open the door of the toilet could not be seen. It turned out well as going to the bathroom immediately see a huge mirror, it will visually enlarge the space of the room; Left - the toilet, and on the right - a bath. How to choose a tile, tub and water heater - another story, and that's what happened in the end.
