Everyone has the time when it is necessary to make repairs, change something in their apartment. But questions arise: where to start? And how to finish?
Before starting the repairs of the apartment, you need to evaluate your capabilities. Namely, decide what building materials you need, find out the prices for them. Calculate approximately how much it will go to building materials completely. Then decide to have the opportunity to hire a repair team or you have to cope on your own.
Many (who have enough money) invite a repair team and calmly deal with their business. Well, if you still do not have enough funds for it, then, like others – take a vacation, your working tools and start repairing.
Nowadays, many are taken on their own to make repairs. Some even get well and over time becomes a fascinating hobby. In the future, they help friends and acquaintances in this matter.
And so, with your own hands, at first glance, the matter is not difficult, but you will have to work for glory.
Preparation of walls and ceiling. We prepare an apartment, it is much easier if you have no wallpaper in your apartment, and if there is. First we remove the old wallpaper, which is much easier to do, moistening them with water (preferably warm). Leave them for about an hour and a half, then remove them with a spatula.
Some do not do this, but I advise you to perform a primer of walls, preferably twice.
It is more convenient to do this with a roller.
A primer is a colorless liquid, completely ready for use. The ceiling is processed in the same method.
Next follows the putty.
In order to entrust the wall and ceiling, you need to: knead the solution from a dry gypsum mixture, then evenly cover the walls and ceiling (if necessary). We apply putty carefully, slowly, so that a smooth surface is obtained. Wait a few days so that everything is dry and apply again (this is done 2, and preferably 3 times).
After the final drying, you need to grind the walls and the ceiling with a skin. And be sure, slightly primer so that the putty does not leave.
We approach the finish line of our work.
The next stage is wallpaper pasting, painting walls and ceiling. So, having achieved even, clean, dry walls and ceiling, we proceed to the pasting of wallpaper or painting.
We glue the wallpaper, first we apply the ceiling on it, put on a long stick with a roller, glue (it is better to apply adhesives and wallpaper). We glue the wallpaper close to each other, then remove the bubbles with a clean roller or cloth. We glue the walls in the same way, if there is a drawing, then we try to select it.
Today it is very easy to come up with your unique design. Applying various gamuts of colors and interesting information, you can create a delightful creation. At the same time, you choose any paint that you liked. You can choose different colors. It is important to apply paint evenly, preferably with a large roller, and small use for painting slopes (window and door). We apply the paint several times, each layer after the previous one dries.
We coped with the ceiling and walls. How to put the floor in order?
The easiest way is to purchase linoleum. The choice is also not small, both firms and flowers. It will be better and more beautiful if you choose the color for the interior of the room. When laying linoleum, the floor should be absolutely clean. We spread linoleum on the floor, as it will be, and leave it for several days so that it levens. After, with the help of a comb, distribute the glue on the floor and apply linoleum. Heavy objects on him with a bed so that he better sticks, and so on throughout the floor. After laying the skirting board, your choice is wooden or plastic.
Repair is made. To complete, you can change the interior of the apartment (make a rearrangement of furniture) – this also refreshes the apartment.
