Former 3-bedroom "communal" with an area of 80.2 m2 in the House of Building 1924: an unusual repair made by the owner's hands.
Is it possible to turn into a comfortable and beautiful housing communal with an eighty-year-old service life? If a real professional is taken for business, then yes! Our story is about how the owner of the apartment located in the house of the construction of the twenties of the last century, fulfilled its own hands.
Do not rush to scold the old one is sometimes not better
It is no secret that quite a few residential buildings in old Russian cities belong to the category of dilapidated and subject to reconstruction. Not in all buildings of the beginning of the last century there are baths, and convenience are usually reduced to the presence of a toilet and cold water. Make redevelopment and reconstruct engineering networks of such housing utilities are not taken even when conducting overhaul. Thus, residents of old houses are in front of the choice: either permanent latch of holes and the elimination of local accidents, or departure away from the historic center of the city - where everyone promises, but the subway branch will not hold. Argued into the house built 1924g. The hero of our story Sergey is bad and his family members were accepted otherwise: with their own hands did what today leads to the delight of all who visits their apartment.This three-room dwelling personally personally was a classic Moscow communal with eighty years. The long-awaited apartment appeared before new tenants in terrifying form. The cracked ceilings were traced in many places, the cutting walls were laughed in the last time and walked around twenty years ago, the boarded floors went to the walker and creaked. There was no bathroom. Only cold water came to the kitchen and to the toilet. The gas column worked with interruptions due to the weak water pressure. The windows and doors of the three rooms were worn to such an extent that they did not close, old radiators were bad. Supply-exhaust ventilation was broken, and smells of the kitchen and toilet chased the inhabitants of the house everywhere.
Profession host- architect. Sytom, he knows how much to do with her own hands, because he undertook to work without delay. First of all, where it was possible, Sergey made an inspection of carrying structures, overlap and interroom partitions to understand what actions should be taken. It turned out that the supporting structures in the house are strong enough, the wooden beams of intermediate floors, contrary to expectations, did not rot.
Large money for reconstruction and repairs, which in such cases lay out the builders the wealthy owners of apartments purchased in memorial buildings, was not in our hero. Full gender replacement, the arrangement of new ceilings, partial demolition of the walls and redevelopment of the premises remained outside the family features. Nevertheless, the optimal solution was found. New owners replaced the pipes of the water supply and heating, wiring, additionally strengthened the lags of the floors, prepared the base under parquet and carpet, pasted the ceilings.
The apartment is located on the first floor, in a house with carrier longitudinal walls. Being a person competent, the owner does not touch them, so the redevelopment agreed without problems. The premises of the former kitchen turned into a bathroom, and two adjacent rooms made passing. The kitchen-dining room, in the second living room, was equipped. The third was divided by a partition into two parts. Aquatic staged a working office and a bedroom of his daughter, the other was given to the son-student.

Patience and work all give
It should be noted that architecture is not the only passion of the owner of the apartment. All professional restorers are known as a wonderful Master-Cranewner, the creator of author's furniture. The experience of restoration work was useful in Sergey in making decisions, how and how to reconstruct and finish an almost antique apartment. Each restorer understands that it is broken. Before breaking, you need to think if there is a worthy alternative made, and try to restore the old one. As we noted above, the inspection of the house showed that only electrical wiring and plumbing pipes are subject to complete replacement, and everything else can be restored. All work on design, he naturally performed himself. Along with this, I developed and agreed in the relevant instances a project for the reconstruction of engineering networks, after which I began to work.The first thing in massive brick walls and in the thickness of the frame partitions, at a distance of 20cm from the ceiling, the master with the help of a grinder and the scarpel did a shroud. He laid in PVC-sleeves, a three-core NYM cable ("Concord", Russia) with a cross-section of 2,5mm2 conductors. Electrand (France) with electricity meter, protective automata and UzO was built into the wall at the entrance to the apartment. The wiring to the ceiling lamps was made in wooden overlap. To do this, the holes were cut into a lined with dry plaster, through which metalworkwood with a cable NYM of the same section was cooked in the voids of the ceiling. The cable was extended to the location of the lamps with a wire loop. Ceiling halogen lamps in the bathroom and in the toilet Sergey built in the suspended ceiling of painted aluminum lamellas, the wiring to them performed the same way as in the rooms.
Then it came a turn of pipe replacement. The location of the shell and the toilet remains the same, but they were added to other sanitary pribamors. Sergey Bathroom Installed a beautiful Italian bath, an ariston electric boiler (Italy) was hanging into place of the old gas column with a volume of water 100l, to which heaving water. He made this work with the participation of the representative of the MOSGAZ on a previously agreed project. Old metal pipes dismantled. The inch wall did the shoes and hid in them under the layer of plaster Metal-polymer pipes Henko (Belgium). The sleeve installed Vitruvit toilet (Italy), in the bathroom of the Gustavsberg bathroom, and Sangra sink (Spain).
Shut-off reinforcement The owner of the apartment chose Italian (Bugatti), mixers and cranes - German (GROHE). Old cast iron radiators replaced with bimetallic (Sira, Italy), with OVENTROP thermostatic valves (Germany). Surprisingly, the cast-iron sewer riser, despite the 80 years of operation, is preserved almost perfect. It turned out to be sufficient only to connect Santechpribor to him. Long tough pipes provided hermetic sealing of compounds by molten lead, as a result of which metal corrosion was reduced to a minimum. The maximum density and strength of the compound of cast iron pipes was provided.
Having finished the reconstruction of engineering communications, the master took over the replacement of structures. Immediately visited the entrance metal door of domestic production. Then removed half-chased wooden frames of the windows. After a short training, the openings set modern windows from PVC profiles Rehau (Germany) with two-chamber energy-saving double-glazed windows and stacked window slopes. After that, it began to finish the ceilings and walls. Sissidium of a professional restorer SSHPAKLEAL flashes of an old stitching ceiling of dry plaster, leveled the plane with a skin, secured the surface layer of the penetrating latex primer "Artel" (Russia) and coated with two layers of white water-dispersion paint.
Restoring the ceilings, Sergey took the walls. On the bearing bricks made oblique notches along the old plaster, after which she re-plastered the mixture of "Rotband" of Russian production. Then, the Surfaces of the Finnish mixture of "Old" was spantered, cleaned the nervousness of the skin, pasted wallpaper on a flieslinic basis and with a roller covered the German acrylic paint DFA. Interior partitions, which are wooden frame structures, has not changed, only sheed from two sides by sheets of drywall "Knauf", stuck joints and also saved with wallpaper. The fact is that the wooden structures are placed with the old way of double reinforcement. The base of the partitions 80 years ago was born with a scroll, according to which a plaster wanted with a thickness of 3 cm. Funny small nails, the cross-elder nailed a wooden dranco, and after that the walls were constantly stucked. Partitions, called time, durability did not lose. Several otherwise, the master separated the walls in the bathroom. The carriers bonded by Spanish ceramic tiles that are not bearing to avoid the problems associated with the tile fastening to a wooden base, decorated with plastic panels of Belgian production.
Sergey's bad surprise was not the limit when he found out that the ventilation channels from the total riser were laid in the walls in each room (in modern apartments, ventilation canals are placed only in the bathroom and in the kitchen). It turned out to be sufficient to clean the air ducts so that the system's performance is recovered! An unpleasant smell disappeared in the apartment, fresh air appeared. In order to avoid penetration into the housing of rodents, the master closed the ventilation openings with lattices with adjustable air tight.
Deposit the walls, the owner began to repair the floors. Here, the designers of the twenties presented him with a nice gift: in the floor floors, the master discovered Ventkanals included in the system of natural supply and exhaust ventilation of the apartment. Thanks to the extent, the overlaps did not rot, even in places of multiple pipe leaks, since the moisture was weathered on time.
Of course, for a long time the beams of the flooring were deformed, and the board boards began to "walk". So the floor had to be partially disassembled, the beams in some places to align the ax where it was necessary to add wooden lining. As the result, the surface everywhere became smooth, the floor stopped creaking. Old boards amounted to the basis for various types of new coatings. A parquet board was used, laid over a layer of waterproof plywood with a thickness of 15mm with a gasket of foamed polyethylene foam (3mm), in the room of the son, carcurlin is notable for the base, in the bathroom, toilet, in the kitchen and in the corridor on the floor ceramic tile. In the "wet zones of alpha and omega of the entire design - waterproofing. Did her master so. On the floor board "KORITCH" (with a rise to the walls on a height of 15 cm) stacked rolled hydrokhotloxole. The web glued down by melting the bituminous layer with a gas burner. On top of the waterproofing layer, a cement screed, a strengthened reinforcing mesh, was laid tile on the screed. This coating does not crack, even if the floor boards are displaced. Repair work was brought by hand-made door canvas.

Handmade furniture
Sergey bad finally got the opportunity to furnish his own home. Buy all furniture in the store did not allow professional pride. Therefore, he tactfully connected in the interior the objects of industrial production with those that made himself.Sink from stainless steel and cutting kitchen tables. The remaining items in the kitchen-dining room of the owner of the apartment. Sergei's cabinet furniture quality is unlikely to give way to eminent cuisines for German and Italian manufacturers. It was made by him in the eighties, but relevant to this day. The dining room set is a combination of an angular sofa with a slide, authentic desktop and four renovated antique maple chairs of the sixties XIX. (Neoclassicism style).
The living room is arranged so that in the evening it is easily turning into the bedroom of parents. Upholstered furniture (sofa and two armchairs), as well as a secreter are made by a "Ampire" wizard on its own sketches.
Of course, not all sorts of cutting the updated dwelling by author's furniture. But everyone can try to repair the old apartment according to the rules with whom the readers have introduced a hardworking and creatively thoughtful person. After all, the most important thing is to give your homes personality.
