The partitions of the shoe cabinet should not reach the top. Install lights above the sink and gas stove. When deciding the location of the bathroom floor drain, you must first think about it and measure the size.
It is also very important to pressurize the water pipes after draining them.
The carpenter's door coverings and the masonry's tiling must also match. When covering the door covers, you must consider whether the ground below (any side of the ground on both sides of the door) needs to be laid with ceramic tiles or other cement. The matter of mortar leveling is because if the door frame is nailed before applying the ceramic tiles and is wrapped all the way to the ground, when cement is used in the future, if the cement and the door frame are stained, it will cause the wood of the door frame to absorb water and become moldy
7. The bottom of the mattress and the bed board must be breathable. It is generally best to use fir boards for bed boards
8. Use paper tape as much as possible when painting
9. Pay attention to when buying lamps: generally try to use glass, stainless steel, copper or wood (shelf) Yes, generally don’t buy iron with other coatings, paint, etc., as it is easy to fade.
10. Try to use ceramic basins for washbasins, as glass basins are difficult to clean.
11. You must plan the renovation of water and electricity by yourself, and ask them to open the basin in a straight line. I watched them draw the lines and opened the cao according to the drawn lines. Each item must be checked and accepted by yourself.
12. Waterproofing must be done well and the water must be tested!
13. Many verbal agreements in construction have become a gap for being ripped off at checkout. They must be written in black and white. The price of any increase or decrease in items must be asked clearly and written down!
14. If the floor is installed on the ground, the ground must be re-cemented and smoothed.
15. For the kitchen door, it is better to have a wooden hanging rail door made by a carpenter who is renovating.
16. Install as many power plugs as possible in the living room.
17. There should still be a partition outside the shower in the bathroom. Don't try to save trouble by pulling up a shower curtain. It's actually very inconvenient and water flows all over the floor.
18. The materials for doors and door frames should be chosen with fine wood grain.
19. Before installing cabinets, be sure to confirm whether the waterway in your home is OK.
20. Don’t choose white for kitchen and bathroom floor tiles.
21. Pay special attention to smoothing the putty on the ceiling before applying Dulux
22. The number of lights in the living room should not be too many and should be simple, otherwise it will look like a lighting store! ! !
23. When buying things that need to be installed, try to ask the seller to install them. If installation is not included, you must insist on paying the full price after installation! !
24. During the renovation, carry the business cards of the manufacturers and merchants that you have collected before.
25. It is best to remove the protective film of the aluminum gusset plate before installation.
26. It is best to use shutter doors for shoe cabinets to prevent odor. You can leave a socket next to the shoe cabinet for drying shoes.
27. A small lamp can be placed where the vegetables are cut.
28. If it is convenient, the restaurant can also arrange a fan so that the ceiling of the hall will not be stained when eating hot pot or barbecue.
29. It is best to arrange a cabinet for storing sundries at the door, which can be placed on top of the shoe cabinet. It is very convenient to put commonly used things such as umbrellas, bags, scissors, change, frequently taken medicines, etc. there.
30. There is absolutely no need to use an expensive ceiling. If you are not too worried about moisture and oil fumes, it is recommended to use moisture-proof gypsum board with waterproof paint. A guest bathroom in my house did this and it is very beautiful. If you must use aluminum gusset ceilings, it is recommended that 1. not too expensive, 2. use solid colors, especially for kitchen ceilings, pure white is good. Unless the colors match the decoration style, it will be easy to be inconsistent. , 3. Make up your own mind, don’t believe those who sell smallpox, their vision is really vulgar. 4. Keep an eye on the scene yourself. It is very important to close the edges. Don't let them be sloppy, otherwise they will leave black seams, which will look ugly no matter how you look.
31. The third day is mainly about drilling holes and continuing to paste the ceramic tiles. The exhaust holes for the range hood and water heater must be drilled in advance. If you wait until the ceramic tiles are pasted before drilling, it will not work. Convenient. Therefore, before decorating, be sure to select range hoods, stoves, water heaters, etc. to determine the size of the holes.
32. Considering that although the custom-made cabinets are beautiful, they are not durable, after considering the opinions and experiences of some students online, the base cabinets are made of cement as the frame, with porcelain tiles on the inside and outside, and marble on the countertop. Wall cabinets and cabinet doors are still made of wood. The cabinets made in this way are durable and moisture-proof. And it doesn’t cost much. Many neighbors saw it and said yes, this is not my fault.
33. After the door covers are completed, the plasterers will begin the installation of plaster lines and plastering on the walls. The walls of my house are originally relatively flat, so 2-3 coats are enough. When criticizing the dust, you need to criticize and polish it once, then apply primer, polish it again after brushing, and finally brush the topcoat twice with ICI. The whole wall looks smooth and flat, which is really good. After the wall and ceiling project was completed, the carpenter began to make the wardrobe. The wardrobe is made of 18cm Weiye brand large core board, with a decorative panel on the outside. Although it is not as beautiful as the one bought in a furniture store, it is durable and the quality should be better than those bought in a furniture store. I'm not afraid to stand on the cabinet board. I'm afraid it won't work if you buy it. The back panel is also relatively thick, the one I bought is very thin.
34. Other students must pay attention to the following points when laying ceramic tiles: ① It is best to be on site ② Some imperfect tiles can be pasted by workers in places that cannot be seen in the future, such as Behind cabinets, sinks, mirrors, etc., you should also be careful not to place tiles, waist tiles, etc. in the above positions by workers, otherwise you will not be able to see anything in the future and you will spend money in vain. ③Before pasting wall tiles and floor tiles, they must be soaked in water for sufficient time. ④Be sure to plug the floor drain with something to prevent cement from falling down and clogging it. The floor drain in my house was clogged because of falling cement. I spent 30 hours trying to find the management office to clear it, and a lot of small pieces of mud came up. ⑤ When people are on site, workers will not waste too much ceramic tiles. My family was not at the scene when the tiles were being laid. I went to see it later and found that a lot of bricks were wasted. It was very heartbreaking. It was all hard work.
35. The length and height of a wall. For example, if a bathroom has four walls, the length and height of each wall must be measured. Then deduct the area of ??windows and doors. Finally, calculate the area of ??the ground. After you measure the dimensions, you can also take them to a store that sells ceramic tiles, and they will help you match them. Just add 5 losses.
36. It is best to have dual-control ceiling lights in the bedroom, one by the door and one by the bed, so as to avoid having to lie in bed and turn off the lights again in the winter.
37. The location, height and spacing of the sockets must be calculated well. First, I ran into a steel bar where I was laying the cassette. Then I placed the cassette and found that it was blocked by the TV cabinet, microwave oven, and desk. I had to move the first two pieces of furniture higher. In the end, I found that not only was the height not ergonomic, but it was also unavailable. Suitable stainless steel cabinet legs can only be customized with aluminum legs.
38. Just install one at each corner of the aisle, which is bright and effective.
39. When installing the lamp, I did not consider the position of the dining table, and now the lamp is not in the center of the dining table.
40. Don’t use too plain bathroom tiles. First, they will get dirty easily, and second, they will look dull over time!
41. More sockets should be installed, furniture should be purchased from outside, the floor should be stain-resistant and safety should be considered, sample rooms should be seen more, and principles should be adhered to
42. Aluminum gussets are not available at all It is necessary to buy high-priced, very cheap aluminum gussets that are far better than PVC. No matter how much you spend, you will not see a significant difference. When buying aluminum gusset plates, you should pay special attention to the keel rather than the aluminum gusset plate itself (the object of the aluminum gusset plate is too large to be manipulated). Ghosts are often found on the keel.
43. It is difficult to find a satisfactory color for the floor tiles, and I have not found one. However, staggering two unsatisfactory colors and turning them at a 45-degree angle can achieve an effect that I am very satisfied with. This is a good suggestion put forward by the bricklayer himself.
44. If you build a cabinet on the top of the balcony, adding a layer of foam plastic board on the back of the cabinet will be very effective for thermal insulation and waterproofing. It is best to use fireproof board for balcony cabinet doors without deformation.
The environment on the balcony is relatively bad.
45. If you don’t have suitable wood moldings, you might as well have them custom-made. The quality of the custom-made ones seems to be better than the samples. And customization is more personalized.
46. The stainless steel legs used for bathroom floor cabinets are huge profits. Find some places behind the store to buy them at extremely cheap prices.
47. When installing a door lock, pay attention to the wax on the lock tongue. If it is damaged, it will be too late to apply wax. If there is no door stopper, be careful to prevent the handle from hitting the wall and being damaged.
48. Paco flooring is very good, I like it. The only thing I have to remind you is that it may be better to negotiate the price directly with the boss than with the salesperson.
/p>
51. The work of installing the junction box of the leakage protector and air switch cannot be saved, and it should not be placed outdoors but indoors. Originally, I wanted to save labor and money and use the old junction box outside the door. The electrician suggested replacing it with a new one indoors, and now I find his advice very valuable.
52. The leakage protector and air switch should be from famous brands. I use "Meilan Geran". If you want to buy genuine products, it's easy. Just call and check the phone number of Merlin Gerin's headquarters, and then call and ask for the number of the local branch.
53. Undercounter basins are more delicate, beautiful and easier to clean than above counter basins. When fitting an under-counter basin faucet, you should pay attention. Considering the thickness of the basin rim, the spout of the faucet should be longer.
54. The top corners of the wall are beautiful without any modification, but you must make it clear to the painter in advance when looking for a painter. The top corner elastic line will help to make the top corner line straight.
55. Surface treatment is very important before putting putty on the cement surface of the line trough. It is suitable to use a cleaning ball to treat the weak surface.
56. Gypsum is suitable for filling larger holes in the wall. Of course, if the hole is too large, cement will still be needed.
57. Be sure to protect the back of the frosted glass from paint, as it is difficult to clean!
58. The vegetable basin faucet must be able to be turned on and off with the back of the hand. The kind that requires fingers is not easy to keep clean, and it is also difficult to turn it when the hands are oily.
59. The price of luxury automatic clothes drying racks is too high. After comparison, we found that some unknown brands are better than first-line brands in structural design, but the prices are much lower.
60. You can consider using a metal socket installed on the ground. This kind of socket is expensive, more than 100 yuan, but it is very convenient. It is usually flush with the ground, and the socket can be popped out by stepping on it. Suitable for large living rooms. Or place it under the dining room table to plug in the hot pot (to prevent wires from hanging when walking back and forth)
61. Storage room. TX has already mentioned it, but I didn’t make the cabinet doors, so they don’t look very nice, and the cabinets where clothes are kept get dirty easily.
62. Bed starter (is that what it’s called). I bought a fabric bed from a professional bed company, and spent 350 yuan to add this feature. There is a handle at the end of the bed, and when you pull it, the bed board will flip up, revealing the storage space underneath. It's great!
63. Impractical double-rod towel rack! At present, it has the same purpose as the single pole. Basically, towels will not be hung on the inner pole.
64. I feel that the trash can in the cupboard is not practical enough, so it is better to put it outside. Also, be sure not to install door-type trash cans and countertop trash cans. Opening the cabinet doors in the summer will stink. It's better to put the trash can outside.
65. The small cabinet next to the dining table is good, you can put some things, it is very convenient.
66. In my opinion, the performance requirements of the mop bucket are not high. You can build it yourself and lay it with tiles or mosaics that match the surrounding environment. It will look beautiful and save money.
67. The bathroom can have some nail hooks for hanging things.
68. The bathroom is designed with a small cupboard to store clothes, so you no longer have to worry about forgetting to take clean clothes after taking a shower. clothing.
69. A washing machine with a dryer is seriously impractical, except for the only bad weather in the year. Thick clothes and bath towels should not be dried in the dryer. It would be better to let the sun disinfect them. I'm overdrafted and need to save some money.
70. I made a laundry sink in the laundry room for washing some things by hand. I originally thought I would use it less, so I bought a very cheap Terry faucet. Unexpectedly, this laundry sink is so convenient and has become the most frequently used washing area in my home. Rags, socks, floor towels, all are washed in there, and most of the hand washing is also there.
71. It is really impractical to install light strips. It has not been turned on since the renovation was completed. When guests come, I just show off the spotlight. I even forgot to install this thing. It turned out that I decided to do it romantically when I wanted to have a party, but now I don’t have many opportunities to turn on the spotlight.
72. The biggest lesson is that the simpler the decoration, the better. It will cause less pollution, cost less and save worry.
73. Practical stuff: ① A well-designed storage room. ②. A sink for washing dirt on the north balcony. The difference is the washbasin in the bathroom and the sink for washing vegetables and dishes in the kitchen. ③You can pull out the faucet for washing your hair in the bathroom. (I never wash my hair in the basin.
The first step is to go through the admission procedures: Generally speaking, the admission procedures require the original and copy of the ID card of the person in charge of the decoration team, and the identity of the owner. The original and copy of the certificate, a copy of the decoration company's business license, a copy of the decoration company's construction license, and the decoration deposit. Of course, you need to ask your management office specifically before applying. >
The next step is to knock on the wall: After knocking on the wall, the garbage has been cleared, and the plasterers should move in. The calculation of the area for knocking on the wall can be based on the floor plan of the house, which contains all the details about your house. Data. Remember to measure the area of ??the wall to be knocked before building it. You must know that the cost of knocking on the wall is based on the area.
The plasterer is mainly responsible for building the wall, patching the dust, patching up the wall, laying ceramic tiles, and doing the work. Cement mortar is used for waterproofing, floor leveling, and floor drain installation. The only difference lies in the proportion. Measure the actual area for building walls and plastering, and then he will double-measure these dimensions with the owner. In addition, it is best for one person to lay the tiles. If it is done by two people, it may be possible because the styles are different. The effect will be different. It is best to use caulking material for tile joints. Some of the white cement in my house has turned yellow. Please pay attention to the muddy water for decoration.
After the wall is laid and before the dust is removed, the plumbers and electricians come on site at the same time to carry out the hydropower renovation. The main tasks of the hydropower renovation include hydropower positioning, trenching, pipe burying, and wiring. Although grooving is not important, it indirectly affects the buried pipes behind. and the quality of wiring. The first step in hydropower renovation is to determine the location of the switch sockets and water connections in the whole house according to your needs. The plumber should mark out the location of the switch sockets and water faucets on the wall. The direction of the water pipes and electric wires is also the layout of the lines. Remember to ask your decoration team for a water and electricity diagram, and ask the plumber to explain the line direction to you clearly according to the diagram. Don't be afraid of trouble. The plumber will definitely meet your requirements. Plumbing renovation If you don't sign after completion, the plumber will not get any money from the decoration team leader.
After the water and electricity are positioned, the next step is to make the groove. A good groove maker will basically make a straight line. , and there is basically no burr on the edge of the groove. Note that before drilling the groove, be sure to ask the plumber to mark all the water and electricity directions on the wall. Remember to compare it with the water and electricity diagram to see if it is consistent.
There are a few things to note about water and electricity renovation: 1. It is best to indicate the brand of wires used for circuit renovation in the contract. 2. The switches in the whole house should be basically at the same level. 3. The switches in the whole house. The sockets should be at the same level as possible, except for special sockets such as air conditioners, refrigerators and special requirements.
4. The colors of the phase wires and neutral wires during circuit modification should be consistent in each house. If possible, it is best to indicate the colors of the live wires, neutral wires, and control wires in the contract, and the protection wires according to The national regulations are yellow and green. 5. It is best to use 3 wires with 4.0 strands for socket wires (including air conditioners and refrigerators), and 2 wires with 2.5 strands for lighting wires. 6. The bottom box is buried. If possible, it is best to buy the bottom box yourself. Please ask the decoration team to report the installation fee. 7. Regarding audio cables, if you are not a professional audiophile, it is best not to install audio cables: The area of ????the houses in Shenzhen is basically about 100 square meters, and the living room area is generally not very large. Install audio in such an area. The effect is really not necessary for ordinary people. Air traffic controllers also have to count money.
About the waterway renovation, I think it is necessary to say something: regarding the issue of hot water, based on the weather in Shenzhen
Does it need to be connected to the washbasin and kitchen? Do all the vegetable sinks use cold hot water? If you need hot water, just turn on the water heater and connect it. Just like many mobile phones nowadays have Internet access functions, but how many of us use mobile phones to access the Internet? But we do have to spend a lot more money for mobile phones with Internet access. When I got the settlement form, I could only sigh that it is so easy to make money but spend it!
Finally, it is best to note it in the contract. Ming must wait until the water and electricity renovation is completed before the carpenter enters the site. The advantage of this is: you don’t have to pay attention to two things at the same time. Water and electricity renovation is a very important expenditure in the decoration, and it is also the bulk of the decoration company’s profits. Moreover, the water and electricity renovation is very concealed. If carpenters come in at the same time, it will distract you from your full attention on the plumbing renovation. When renovating waterways, pay attention to keeping them neat and tidy. When signing a contract for waterway reconstruction, it is best to indicate the materials used for waterway reconstruction. In addition, when renovating waterways, attention should be paid to the size of the original sewer pipes in the room. The pipes connected to the original sewer pipes in the house should preferably match the original sewer pipes.
During circuit modification, you should pay attention to where all the lamps in the house will be installed in order to determine the location of switches and sockets. At the same time, you should also note that the price of new buried wiring and replacement wiring are different. When buying a doorbell, it is best to buy a wireless doorbell. The main work of water and electricity renovation
101. For any additional or decreased items during the construction process, the price must be clearly stated and written down in black and white.
102. Check whether there are necessary construction protection measures. For example, the entrance door should be wrapped with pearl cotton, and the paved window sill and floor should also be properly protected.
103. Communicate with the construction worker as much as possible to make sure he understands your intentions. Put yourself in the shoes of every master and respect his work. Respect him and make him feel your own importance. Then should you work more responsibly? Isn't there an old saying that "employ people without trusting them"? (But if you are facing someone who is treacherous, cunning and bully, then you have to fight tooth for tooth and argue with reason.) Especially for some marginal projects, several types of work are required to cooperate. Responsible workers will coordinate with each other to perform their duties. Otherwise, everyone will just kick the ball back and forth and shirk responsibility. For example, my mason helped me solve some carpentry problems, and the electrician solved some masonry problems. Because every master has different experiences, as long as he is willing to help you find a way.
104. It is best not to make fixed furniture, because some layouts may not be able to change. If you must do it, you must control the quality, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
105. You must be careful when changing water pipes. Firstly, it costs money; secondly, if there is no suspended ceiling, the water pipes must be run from under the floor. If there is a problem with the water pipes, it will be a big trouble.
106. Arrange the wiring reasonably according to your actual needs to avoid waste (especially laying out a lot of light strips and spotlights seems not practical, they must be used and try to avoid series connection and waste electricity), but there are You can't save space, such as next to the bathroom mirror, where you need to use a hair dryer and a razor frequently. Also, it would be good if there is a socket in or under the shoe cabinet. You can use a shoe dryer. I regret not having this cloth now. root line.
107. Try to separate wet and dry areas in the bathroom. If the area is small, use a pedestal basin (glass basins are particularly dirty, so lazy people should use them with caution); if possible, it is best to set up a small waterproof cabinet to store sundries. , it definitely doesn’t look good if everything is displayed outside.
108. When painting wood with glossy white paint, polyester is better than nitrocellulose (this is what I heard from experienced painters).
109. Cabinets must be carefully selected, and the quality of several stores should be compared to ensure that they are stable and solid. This item can cost thousands of dollars now, and it is also related to stoves, sinks, etc., so It’s better not to be greedy for cheap. But it’s best not to build a trash can on the countertop or inside the cabinet; also, if you have limited funds, you don’t need pull baskets, seasoning baskets, rice buckets, etc. These accessories are generally very expensive in cabinet companies.
110. It is better to have a wardrobe that is too large rather than too small, and it is better to have a wardrobe that is too large rather than too small. Women should remember this! The hanging space should be able to hold the longest dress.
111. It is best to buy things that are difficult to transport such as glass or mirrors nearby, or think about the transportation method first.
112. Curtains are best ordered after all the furniture and appliances are brought in to match the overall style and tone. But you can install the track before cleaning.
113. It is best to modify the gas pipe before installing ceramic tiles, otherwise it may damage the wall. It is best to ask the gas company to draw a picture or make a sign on the wall, because the cabinet company needs to make holes in the cabinet body according to requirements.
114. Cabinet installation takes a long time, ranging from 4 to 5 hours to 2 days, so be mentally prepared. During installation, you can check whether the material used is the one you ordered (the cabinet material can be seen through the hinge holes). Clean the kitchen before installing the cabinets, because once the cabinets are installed, there will be no way to clean those blind spots.
115. It is best to watch from the side when installing furniture, especially the shelves of wardrobes, which have several holes to choose from. I didn’t look at it at the time, and the distance between the shelves turned out to be It's too small and can't be stretched to hang clothes, so I'll have to adjust it later.
116. Considering the environmental pollution caused by formaldehyde, green plants such as spider plants can be placed in the room, and all cabinet doors of furniture can be opened to emit odors. You can also buy special odor-eliminating sprays.
117. Install a gas alarm and schedule gas ignition.
118. Time to paint wood: It is best to wait until the room is finished with floor tiles or wooden floors before painting. If you must brush, it is best to clean the room as well. In rooms without tiles or wooden floors, there is a lot of dust in the room. If you apply wood paint at this time, the dust will easily adhere to the surface of the wood products that have been painted with wood paint, and it will feel prickly to the touch. Although this situation can be used at a higher level. It can be solved by sanding with marked sandpaper and then brushing it again, but the final brushing will have some flaws in the feel and overall effect. Paint the room after the floor tiles are laid. At that time, the dust content in the air will be much less than before the floor tiles were laid. There will basically be no dust attached to the surface of the wood products after brushing the wood paint. The reason why I say this is because I encountered this situation when renovating Xiao Wu's home, so I posted a sample plan of my own as follows for reference: the data in the table is an example.
This list is more convenient for use as a procurement plan. Before construction, the corresponding projects can be reclassified and merged according to the type of work, and divided into
masonry, carpentry, water and electricity, painting, etc. and tabulated again. You can also add a "Construction Requirements" column on the right side of the table. Such as (three batches of three brushes of latex paint for the walls; Weiye boards for shoe cabinets and polyurethane varnish), etc.
127. For the rear speakers of the home theater, the sound wires should be buried under the living room. This is very important!
128. Add a wash basin to the balcony, and embed water pipes in the decoration. The balcony sink is very important for watering flowers, washing hands, etc.
129. If background music is needed in the bathroom or kitchen, audio and video wires should be buried before decoration.
130. There must be sockets on both sides of the balcony, and lanterns can be hung during the Chinese New Year for easy access to electricity.
131. It is recommended to use induction type light switches at the entrance. Go home in the dark to avoid being in the dark.
132. Basic engineering construction instructions
1. Water and electricity transformation
a. The construction team must conduct a "pressure" test on the water pipes before entering the site for construction ( Run the "10kg water pressure test for 15 minutes". If the "pressure gauge pointer" does not change, you can rest assured to change the water pipe. Otherwise, you are not allowed to change the pipe. You must first notify the "Management Office" and let the "Management Office" perform maintenance. , wait until the "suppression" is normal, then you can change the pipe) and test the "circuit" (use a light bulb equipped with a "socket" to test, the "light bulb" will light up)
b. Make grooves. Do not damage the load-bearing wall and the cast-in-place part of the ground. You can remove the plaster layer. If you need to install a "wire box" on the load-bearing wall, do not damage the inner steel structure.
c. Before burying the "wire tube", the "wire trough" needs to be treated with "termite prevention", and the connection between the "wire tube" and the "wire tube" needs to be "direct" or "elbow" For connection, a "cup comb" needs to be installed at the intersection of the "conduit" and the "bottom box", and all wall and ground circuits must be at a 90-degree angle. If the original line needs to be modified and "direct" or "elbow" connection cannot be used, "yellow wax pipe" must be used to connect, and the "yellow wax pipe" must enter the line pipe at both ends for no less than 10 cm.
d. If the circuit needs to be buried secretly in the wall, it is best to use "3-point wire conduit", while for ceiling wiring, "4-point wire conduit" can be used. The "wires" in the "wire tube" must not have "joints", the "joints" must be found in another "wire box", and the "wires in the tube" must not exceed 60 of the "pipe diameter".
e. The "live wire" of strong electricity needs to be "red", the "neutral wire" needs to be "black", the "ground wire" should be "yellow" or "blue and yellow color-coded wire"; the "telephone wire" "You need to use a "four-core telephone line"; "network cable", "audio cable" and "TV cable" need to be selected according to the actual situation.
f. After the "water and circuit" transformation is completed, the waterway needs to be tested again for pressure. After the pressure is normal, cement mortar will be used to seal the groove.
133. Waterproofing
a. After the "water and electricity renovation" of the kitchen and bathroom is completed and the grooves are sealed, the next step of "waterproofing" can be carried out.
b. "Waterproofing" has different construction methods according to different materials. Let's take "Shanghai Huili 911" as an example: it is best to make the bathroom waterproof to the top, and the kitchen waterproofing is generally 1 meter high. Waterproof the ground and do it twice when it is 30 centimeters away from the wall. Do it once when it is above 30 centimeters. The door pocket needs to be waterproofed by covering the door edge.
c. After the waterproofing is completed and allowed to dry, conduct a "water test" test for 48 hours. After 48 hours, go to the next floor to check. If there are no moisture marks on the ceiling, it can pass. Otherwise, the waterproofing layer needs to be redone. The most common place for water leakage is the "floor drain".
134. Ceramic tiles
a. When selecting ceramic tiles, owners need to determine the quality of the ceramic tiles. The method is: first, check whether the color is uniform and free of variegated colors and black holes. Secondly, it depends on whether the size is standard. Use a tape measure to measure the length and width of the ceramic tile. The measured size should be consistent with the factory size of its trademark. Then measure the diagonal of the ceramic tile. If the diagonal size is consistent, then The tiles are straight; then check the flatness of the tiles. The simplest and most effective way is to overlap two tiles of the same brand front and back. If there is an obvious gap between the two tiles after overlapping or they can be rotated, the tiles are uneven; finally, you need to check the flatness of the tiles. To see if there is any color difference in the ceramic tiles, the method is to take out several samples of the same type of ceramic tiles and compare them in a bright place. If no difference in color can be seen, you can place an order.
b. After the tiles are laid, the entire tile must not be hollow (the local hollow must not exceed 20% of the entire tile). If the entire tile is hollow, it must be reworked. Under normal circumstances, For every 100 bricks laid, 1 wall tile is allowed to be hollow, and 2 floor tiles are allowed to be hollow, but they must be reworked. The reworked main materials (already included in the loss) are the responsibility of the owner, such as Beyond this range, the construction party will be responsible for the main materials.
c. Under normal circumstances, the level of the floor tiles is allowed to have an error of 2 mm, the gaps between the floor tiles must be consistent, and the diagonals of the bricks should be flat (an error of 0.5 mm is allowed). Kitchen and bathroom walls In addition to the flatness of the diagonals between the bricks and the bricks, the facing tiles also need to be horizontal (1 mm error allowed) and vertical (2 mm error allowed).

136. Calculators are also designed, and today’s calculators have settings. The function of decimal point multiples will have different standards when performing calculations, so it is necessary for us to bring a calculator ourselves. Nowadays, mobile phones also have calculation functions, but the functions are not necessarily good.
137. Prepare two good neutral glass glues (1 transparent, 1 white), recommended by American General Company, available from B&Q, 49 each. It is useful when installing bathrooms, sinks, cabinets, and security doors. Although most manufacturers will bring glass glue for installation, most of the glass glue they provide is of poor quality and can easily become discolored or moldy in the future.

After opening the holes for the aluminum gusset plates in the kitchen and the two pieces above the range hood, be sure to wait until the range hood is completely installed before installing them. My family's morning and morning ceiling was installed, but later it was dismantled when installing the range hood. The workers deformed the ceiling after disassembly and assembly, and the seamless ceiling became a seamed ceiling.
140. If wooden doors are also installed in the kitchen and bathroom for the sake of unified appearance, then immediately after installing them, apply glass glue on the joint between the door frame and the ground. My house did not deal with it in time. The workers were not careful with water. A lot of water splashed on the ground and seeped into the door frame. The lower part was already a little black (mold).
141. The balcony must be paved with tiles! The view balcony should be paved around the corner, and the living balcony should be paved to the same height as the railings. The corner of my balcony and the living balcony wall are not paved, so I have to prepare a bucket of exterior wall paint and refresh it regularly myself...
142. Be sure to ask the decorator to provide detailed water and electricity diagrams before water and electricity renovation and wall sealing. .
143. If you plan to paint the walls in a color, you must consider changing the wiring during electrical renovation. A lot of wiring has been changed in my house, and all the air conditioning sockets have been changed. But in order to save money, I did not replace the entire line, but the wiring. All wiring areas must be equipped with white boards for future maintenance. It was only after I finished painting the colored walls that I realized how dazzling the whiteboards were. I regretted it~~~~
144. This was the lowest mistake I made. I took it for granted that the width of the bed was 1.5 meters. 1.5 meters, I forgot about the thickness around the bed. I also carefully left a lamp socket on the wall behind the bedside table. As a result, the socket is blocked and cannot be used.
145. Before starting work, let the decoration team leader analyze how to deal with the wall and whether it is necessary to remove all the original paint. Especially those who are planning to outsource their wall projects to a painting company. My house was contracted to a painting company. After the carpentry was completed, the painter came to see it and realized that the original dust on the wall was really bad. It would be best to shovel it all off and re-apply the dust. But since the carpentry has been completed, it is not easy to shovel away the original ash. In the end, I had to apply a layer of 108 glue on the surface to criticize the dust.

149. When measuring the workload of circuit modification, it is generally measured according to three different wiring methods.
1. Groove and bury the pipes (measured according to the length of the trunking. If there are multiple pipes in a trough, it is calculated as half of the number of pipes. The other half is included in the overhead lines).
2. Overhead wire (only penetrates the pipe without grooving), calculated according to the length of the pipe.
3. To change the wire, press the button to replace it as much as you want (the replaced wire tells the construction team not to throw it away).
4. Weak current transformation, calculated according to the first method. The difference is to note who purchased the weak wire. The owner will have to deduct the price of the wire when buying.
