The family had long dreamed of making repairs in the apartment. Unsuccessful repairs in the kitchen or a memo for beginners

The family had long dreamed of making repairs in the apartment. They have a small one-bedroom apartment with an area of ​​48.5 square meters. Having saved up money decided. they accumulated enough money to make repairs so far only in the kitchen. Despite the exhortations of their parents wait for repairs until the children grow up.

Search

Where to start thinking they? We started with the search masters. Kitchen them little thought that the repair will last for three days, four, well, a week at most. Phoning artists hope for a speedy repair gradually faded. The problem was mainly that the contractors did not want to do such a fine job. Then, would they have offered to repair the apartment. Search through the week, it was already ashamed to say that we want to renovate the kitchen area of ​​12 squares.

So, after a telephoned more than a dozen firms offering their services, still have found no firm course, and two novice master who decided to start his solo career leaving the team.

The long-awaited repair

Arrange a meeting with the master, prepared a paper with a pen to write down a list of necessary construction materials for repair. When he came to master it without a calculator, without counting multiplications and told the exact amount of their work. The amount of course we cheered. Cheaper nowhere. On the question of what to buy, again, mathematics genius counting all in the mind dictated their list. True it is, every time forgot this or that material, but at the mention of master answered immediately clear how many.

For the purchase of materials from the list it took two days.

Repairs began on the third day of the scheduled date, he has a child is ill, he got stuck in traffic. And extend as much as three whole agonizing weeks. And every day repair, they asked:

• Hammer.
• Screwdriver.
• Roulette.
• Pliers.

In addition to the gun they had absolutely nothing.

And how many building materials has had to re-buy?

• two rolls of wallpaper;
• four bags adhesives for tiles;
• two tyuba adhesive for floor and ceiling moldings;
• 1 kg of paint.

On how they glued tiles would be particularly elaborate, thicker layer of adhesive for tiles have not seen even when the advertised chocolate layer in sneakers.

Output

So what happened:

• Repairs took place in a fairy tale "Porridge ax", all the necessary tools for the repair, they were taken from the family, they have the benefit of such disposal.
• A thick layer of adhesive under the tiles.
• Three weeks of torture for them and their neighbors.
• Poor-quality repairs.
• Each stage of the repair took place under the watchful gaze watchful. We had to prompt and remind what result is expected of them.

Outcome like many friends of the family, due to diversion - well selected furniture.

And if you look into the root, you can see all the flaws and shortcomings.
