5 Mistakes in Repair That Our Heroine Made

Journalist and producer Anastasia Rusakova independently decorated her apartment in a new building. This was her first serious renovation, so mistakes were unavoidable. Anastasia shared the difficulties she encountered and which errors could have been avoided.

Incorrect Tile Quantity Calculation

The incorrect calculation of tile quantity for the hallway forced Anastasia to buy additional material. No matching tiles were available in stock, so she purchased white tiles without pattern and placed them in the part of the hallway where the cabinet was located. Thus, the girl's oversight remained unnoticed.

Uncomfortable Joint Between Floor Coverings

The initial plan was to make the joint between tiles and laminate in the hallway as inconspicuous as possible. Anastasia asked the workers to install a thin profile that would go under the laminate. However, the master did not hear her request and did what he thought was correct. As a result, there was a height difference between the tiles and the laminate, making it hard to clean the joint and dirt easily accumulated under it.

Poor Fixing for Cabinet Doors

Special hardware was required for mounting cabinet doors in the kitchen unit. The furniture assembler missed this point and fastened the doors with standard fittings. Over time, one of the cabinet doors, behind which the dishwasher is located, fell off. At present, the cabinet stands without a door, but Anastasia promises to fix the situation soon.

Incorrect Kitchen Design

During kitchen design, an important point was overlooked — kitchen cabinets have standard dimensions and the corner placement of the unit was not very convenient. After furniture installation, an empty space formed in the corner that remained unused due to difficult access.

Improper Distance Between Cabinet and Air Conditioner

This mistake forced the last cabinet door to remain without a door. The air conditioner was already installed, so they decided to remove one door from the cabinet and leave the shelves open. The kitchen is decorated in Scandinavian style, and open storage areas are a relevant and justified solution.

Incorrect Switch Installation

In the bedroom, a two-key switch was planned to be installed on the wall, but due to a mistake by the master, only one key works — and even in reverse. Additionally, this socket was supposed to control all the lights in the apartment, but something went wrong...

Repair must be monitored — come to the site daily and oversee every step of the workers!
