Kids' Room Renovation Begins: Walls, Wiring, and Unexpected Challenges

Renovation Kick-off & Planning

• 💡 The project involves transforming a large guest room into two children's rooms, requiring a partition and extensive finishing work.
• 🏡 The initial focus is on finishing the walls and relocating electrical wiring to suit the new room layout.
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 The children were temporarily moved to the living room on the first floor to allow renovation work to begin.
• ⚠️ Moving an extremely heavy old wardrobe proved challenging, highlighting the difference in construction quality compared to modern furniture.

Electrical Wiring Relocation

• ⚡ The process involved identifying existing wiring, chasing new channels in the wall, and extending the internet cable for new outlet positions.
• 🔌 Soldering the eight-wire internet cable was necessary to maintain speed and ensure a reliable connection.
• ✅ After extending and insulating wires with heat shrink tubing and electrical tape, the functionality of the new outlets was successfully tested.

Wall Plastering Process

• 🛠️ A laser level and magnetic holder were used to precisely install markers, ensuring a minimal and even plaster layer.
• 🎯 Markers were attached with special clips to avoid waiting for mortar to dry, unlike traditional "flat cakes."
• ⚖️ The first wall alone consumed 450 kilograms of mortar, indicating the significant amount of material needed despite aiming for a thin layer.
• 💰 Due to local unavailability, a ready-made mixture (Yupi) was supplemented by manually sifting sand and mixing cement (M500 at 1:4 ratio) for cost-effectiveness.

Future Project Stages

• 🚪 The plan includes restoring and painting an existing door that leads to a balcony, a suggestion from subscribers.
• 🏗️ Subsequent steps involve insulating the ceiling with EPS, plastering, painting, and then addressing the floors.
• 🧱 The team is still considering budget-friendly and quick methods for building the partition, possibly using profiles and drywall.
