12. Selection of decoration team: I don't think it's important to choose guerrillas or regular companies first. The key is to give your construction team a serious and responsible head, the skills of the decoration workers, and of course the quality and price of the decoration.

First of all, don't look for more than four decoration companies. For most of them, this is the case. If you are rich in time, it is another matter. Before talking to the decoration company, you must be clear about the decoration projects you want to do. You can ask the decoration company to report all the projects first, compare the prices and consider various factors comprehensively, and then you can decide which ones to outsource and which ones to do.

for the decorator, the lower the decoration quotation, the better. Of course, the decoration company has the opposite opinion. Sometimes, in order to pull business, decoration companies will lower some quotations, so that the quality of the project and the quality of materials are more difficult to guarantee. With so many renovations, it is unrealistic for you to think that every item is the lowest price. Moreover, the quotation in the decoration should not only look at the figures, but also look at the contents, materials, specifications and brands used in this project. You know, every quotation in the decoration is actually very particular.

121. construction? Because I am not in a hurry to move in, I plan to find a casual worker: all the good craftsmen invited by my neighbors may be my targets: a mason, a carpenter, a plumber and a painter. Design step by step and do it step by step. I believe that slow work makes fine work.

122. Spend every penny on the cutting edge: when you look at the decoration materials, you will definitely be blinded. There are too many good things, and it seems that every single item looks affordable. But it's really stressful to buy these things at once in a short time. Often, most people get confused at this time. As a result, the final budget is overspent too much, and the first thing they buy is beautiful and high quality, and then the things they buy are uneven.

My opinion is:

First, set the price first, then choose the materials.

don't waste time on materials that exceed the predetermined price by 1 percent. Merchants are always better than buyers. I am making a detailed schedule of the materials I need myself, which will be posted in future posts for your reference.

second, save what you can, and spend the flower.

the most expensive places are carpentry and kitchen cabinets.

the most prone to quality problems are hydropower renovation and waterproofing of kitchen and bathroom.

123. The cost of making furniture must be higher than buying furniture. General furniture costs 5 yuan per square meter-7 yuan.

124. Concealed works are the most important places that can't save money, such as water circuit renovation and waterproof treatment.

The way is to ask B&Q to do it. B&Q now has a single decoration service: such as water and electricity renovation, materials purchased by itself, 4 yuan per meter of waterway and 2 yuan per meter of circuit, with a half-year warranty. There are detailed individual service items and quotation announcements on the east side of the first floor of B&Q, for your reference.

125. The most worry-free way is to use online resources to collect, keep, organize and integrate, which will definitely be of great use in the future.

126. In order to save time and improve efficiency, every time you go to the decoration materials market, you will get something. A detailed and practical procurement and budget schedule is very important.

it's easier to implement the plan list when purchasing by room: it's easy to compare and integrate things in the same room every time you go to the street, and it's easy to be effective.

I. hall project

ii. living room project

iii. dining room project

iv. master bedroom project

v. children's room project

vi. study project

vii. master bathroom project

viii. guest bathroom project

ix. kitchen project

It is convenient to use this list as a procurement plan. Before construction, the corresponding projects can be re-classified and merged according to the type of work, and re-tabulated into bricklayers, carpenters, utilities, paints, etc. You can also add the column "Construction Requirements" to the right of the table. Such as (three batches and three brushes of wall latex paint; Weiye board for shoe cabinets, painted with polyurethane varnish, etc.

127. It's very important to embed the sound wires in the rear speaker of the home theater under the living room!

128. Add a sink on the balcony, and the decoration should be embedded with water pipes. The balcony sink is very important, such as watering flowers and washing hands.

129. If the bathroom and kitchen need background music, audio and video wires should be embedded before renovation.

13. There must be sockets on both sides of the balcony, and lanterns should be hung during the Chinese New Year so that electricity can be supplied.

131. The light switch at the entrance is recommended to be inductive. Go home in the dark, so as not to be in the dark.

132. Instructions for the construction of foundation works 1. Water and electricity renovation

(a) Before entering the site for construction, the construction team must carry out a "pressure suppression" test on the water pipes (1 kg water pressure test for 15 minutes). If the "pressure gauge pointer" has not changed, it is safe to change the water pipes; otherwise, it is not allowed to use the water pipes, and it is necessary to notify the "management office" first. ) and "circuit" test (test with "light bulb with socket", as long as the "light bulb" is on)

(b) Trenching can not damage the bearing wall and the cast-in-place part of the ground, and the surge layer can be destroyed. If "wire box" is required to be installed on the bearing wall, the inner steel structure cannot be damaged.

(c) before burying the conduit, the conduit should be treated with termite prevention, and the junction between conduit and conduit should be connected with "direct" or "elbow", and the junction between conduit and bottom box should be installed with a "cup comb", and all wall surfaces and ground circuits must form a 9-degree angle. If the original line needs to be modified, and it cannot be connected by "direct" or "elbow", it needs to be connected by "yellow wax pipe", and the "yellow wax pipe" should enter the conduits at both ends for not less than 1 minutes.

(d) If the circuit needs to be buried in the wall, it is best to use "3-branch pipe", and the ceiling wiring can use "4-branch pipe". There must be no "connector" in the "conduit", which can be found in another "wire box", and the "wire in the conduit" shall not exceed 6 percent of the "pipe diameter".

(e) The high voltage "live wire" should be red, the "neutral wire" should be black, and the "ground wire" should be yellow or blue-yellow color separation line; "Telephone line" needs "four-core telephone line"; Network cable, audio cable and TV cable should be selected according to the actual situation.

(f) After the renovation of "water and circuit", the waterway needs to be pressed again. After the pressing is normal, the tank is sealed with cement mortar.

133. Waterproofing

(a) After the "water and electricity renovation" of the kitchen and bathroom is completed, the next process of "waterproofing" can be carried out.

(b) "Waterproofing" has different construction methods according to different materials. Now, take "Shanghai Huili 911" as an example: the top waterproofing of the bathroom is the best, the waterproofing of the kitchen is generally 1 meter high, the waterproofing of the ground is done twice and 3 cm away from the wall, and the waterproofing of the door cover needs to be wrapped around the door.

(c) After waterproofing is finished and ready to dry, conduct a "water test" for 48 hours. After 48 hours, go to the next floor to see. If there is no wet mark on the ceiling, you can pass it. Otherwise, you need to redo the waterproof layer. The easiest place to leak water is the "floor drain".

134. Tiles

(a) When selecting tiles, the owners need to identify the quality of the tiles. The methods are as follows: first, look at whether its color is uniform, and there are no variegated colors and small holes and black spots; Secondly, it depends on whether its size is standard. Measure the length and width of the tile with a tape measure, and the measured size should be consistent with the ex-factory size of its trademark, and then measure the diagonal of its tile. If the diagonal size is consistent, the tile is positive; Next, it depends on the flatness of tiles. The simplest and most effective method is to overlap two tiles of the same brand. If there is an obvious gap between the two tiles after overlapping or they can rotate, the tiles are uneven. Finally, it depends on whether the tiles have color difference. The method is to take out several samples of the same type of tiles and compare them in the bright place. If there is no color difference, you can order them.

(b) After the tiles are pasted, there can be no whole brick hollowing (local hollowing can't exceed 2 percent of the whole brick). If there is a whole brick hollowing, it needs to be reworked. Under normal circumstances, one brick is allowed to be hollowed for every 1 tiles, and two bricks are allowed to be hollowed for the floor tiles, but it must be reworked. The owner is responsible for reworking the main materials (which are included in the loss).

(c) Under normal circumstances, the levelness of the floor tiles is allowed to have an error of 2mm, the gaps of the floor tiles must be consistent, and the diagonal corners of the tiles should be flat (with an error of .5mm). Besides the diagonal corners of the tiles, the kitchen and bathroom tiles should be flat, and the levelness (with an error of 1mm) and verticality (with an error of 2mm) should be achieved. Floor drains should be considered for the floor tiles in bathrooms and balconies.

(d) After the wall brick and floor brick are paved, it is necessary to use "caulking agent" or "white cement" for wet mortar joint filling.

135, termite control

(a) After the wall is finished and the garbage in the trunking is cleared, Carry out a comprehensive termite prevention (i.e. spraying termites throughout the house)

(b) All boards need to be treated with termite prevention after entering the site (specifically for wooden boards)

(c) The floor to be covered with wooden floors needs to be treated with termite prevention before laying wooden floors

(d) It is better to spray termites with water (i.e. obviously wet)

136.

137. Prepare two sets of neutral glass glue (1 transparent, 1 white) by yourself, which is recommended by American General Company. B&Q sells 49 sets. It is needed when installing bathroom, sink, cabinet and security door. Although the general manufacturers will bring glass glue for installation, most of the glass glue they provide is of poor quality and will easily change color or become moldy in the future.

138. Don't use a shifter in the toilet unless you have to. This thing is easy to cause toilet water blockage.

139. The aluminum gusset plate in the kitchen, two pieces above the range hood, must be installed after the range hood is completely installed. My house was installed early, and then it was removed when the range hood was installed. The workers changed the shape of it, and the seamless smallpox became a seam smallpox.

14. If wooden doors are installed in the kitchen and bathroom for the sake of unity and beauty, glass glue should be applied to the joint between the door frame and the ground immediately after installation. My family didn't treat it in time, the workers used water carelessly, and a lot of water spilled on the ground and penetrated into the door frame, and the lower part was a little black (moldy).

141. The balcony must be tiled! Jingyang platform corner should be paved in a circle, and life balcony should be paved to the same height as the railing. The wall of my Jingyang terrace corner and living balcony is not paved, so we have to prepare a bucket of exterior paint and refresh it regularly ...

142. Before the wall is sealed, we must ask the decoration master to provide a detailed hydropower map.

143, if you are going to paint the wall in color, you should consider the problem of changing the wiring when you transform the electricity. My home has changed a lot of wires, and all the air conditioning sockets have been changed. But in order to save money, we did not change the whole line, but connected it. Whiteboards must be installed at all places where wiring is done in this way for future maintenance. I didn't realize how dazzling these white boards were until I finished painting the colored wall paint. I regret it ~ ~ ~ ~ < P > 144. This was the lowest mistake I made. I took it for granted that the width of a 1.5-meter bed was 1.5 meters, and I forgot the thickness at the bedside. Also leave a lamp socket on the wall behind the bedside table accurately. As a result, the socket is blocked and there is no way to use it.

145. Before starting work, let the decoration team leader analyze how to deal with the wall and whether it is necessary to shovel all the original powder. In particular, students who are going to outsource the wall project to the paint company. My home is contracted to a paint company, and it is only after the carpentry is finished that the painter comes to see that the original wall ash is really poor, so it is best to shovel it all and re-approve the ash. However, since the carpentry has been finished, it is not easy to shovel the original ash. Finally, I had to brush a layer of 18 glue on the surface for ash approval.

146. Adding lines must be rewired. However, wiring can be branched from the nearest terminal. It is not allowed to add connectors to the original wires.

147. The control switch of air conditioner can only be at the power supply end. It is not allowed to add on the line.

148. When changing the position of telephone and network cable, you can take out the original cable and continue to use it. However, there will be many hidden dangers if the construction is improper. So it's best to change the line from the weak box in the room.

149. The workload of measuring circuit transformation is generally measured by three different wiring methods.

(1) Trenching and burying pipes (measured by the length of trunking, if there are multiple pipes in a trunking, it is calculated as half of the number of pipes. The other half is included in the overhead line).

(2) Overhead lines (only through pipes without slotting) are calculated according to the length of pipes.

(3) Change the line as much as you want (tell the construction team not to throw away the changed line).

(4) weak current transformation is calculated according to the first method. The difference is to pay attention to who bought the weak wires. Owners have to deduct the price of wires when they buy them.

15, how to fix the toilet on the ground, with a screw? There is also the joint between the base and the pipeline. What kind of seal is better for the inside and outside? The toilet is fixed with expansion screws. The inside of the joint between the base and the pipeline is sealed with special sealant for toilet. Cement slurry mixed with white cement and white glue outside. When buying toilets, they are usually equipped with special sealant.

151. When buying materials, you must first calculate the approximate dosage yourself. When I bought the waterway materials, I thought that I would draw a waterway map after that anyway, so I trusted the foreman a little. As a result, I found that the water pipe was bought 5 meters more and the copper head was actually used 27. I actually bought 4, but there should be 13 left, and the actual remaining 7 were short of 6. After repeated inquiries, the foreman found six copper heads that were "accidentally mixed elsewhere" from other construction sites. The circuit itself calculated the materials in detail in advance, and the calculated results were compared with the foreman's requirements: the wire was changed from 3 meters to 12 meters, the network cable was changed from 2 meters to 13 meters, and other things, such as insulating tape and plugs, were corrected by me ... < P > 152. If there is an old sewer pipe on the ground, it is often damaged when it is smashed and turned, so don't hesitate to lay a new one, don't save it, to ensure safety.

153. Don't abandon the recessed storage space on the bathroom wall. It is very useful and beautiful to stick the tiles. Of course, the tile trade union thinks it is troublesome to say "ugly" and "not popular now". Hehe, don't be fooled, he wants to be lazy.

154. Don't use edging lines for the external corners of ceramic tiles. It's only beautiful if the bricklayer grinds the tile at a 45-degree angle. If you don't mention the bricklayer, of course, you choose a lazy way to do things.

155. When installing sealing cement for aluminum-plastic pipes, be sure to supervise the workers to reserve expansion space for hot water pipes according to the construction standards. In short, the aluminum-plastic pipe should not be sealed firmly, but it is better to loosen it.

156. The toilet floor is like
