Prepare in advance after buying a house

Starting with buying a house.

When you sign your name on the house purchase contract, you should start to pay attention to things related to the house. Some people will say: it will take half a year or two to get the key. Is it too early? Actually, it's not early at all! ! ! Because, from the beginning of preparing to collect the house and get the key, there will be many problems waiting for you to solve! ! !

Mobilize everyone's enthusiasm and start to imagine your own small home and visit the market.

After getting the room plan, we should give full play to the imagination of every family member. I'm afraid you think too carefully about the corner of your small home, and I'm afraid you can't think of it! The more unexpected places, the more blind spots!

Before handing over the house, go to the small home for a field trip. The more thoughtful, careful and detailed you think, the better. You can think of one job at a time: home improvement is nothing more than plumber, carpenter and painter. There is also the choice trend of furniture and the preference of soft decoration. It must be a good thing to think more.

Determine the style, tone and feeling that a small family wants, and then it can be targeted.

As for the highlights, leave them to the designers, and we will only consider practicality and use.

No matter whether you finally choose clear package, half package or full package, at least, all the main things must be decided by yourself! ! ! These things include: floor, tiles, latex paint, paint, main boards, water pipes and wires, as well as cabinets, sanitary ware, lamps, various faucets and other hardware, curtains and so on.

For the early preparation, it is inevitable to know the market conditions, and it is best to look at the affordability of your own purse. The same area, from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands to millions of decoration budget, see how much you can come up with? Do what you can.

It is often said that the budget is over budget, few of them are under budget, and those over budget range from 10% to 100% or even more. Why?

Personally, I think:

1. At first, I didn't know anything about decoration, and I thought too little about spending, underestimated the required funds, and the allocation of funds was unreasonable;

2. Temporarily change the design during the renovation, change the original positioning and pricing materials, and forcibly increase the budget. This situation is very frequent;

3, a large amount of overspending on the basis of the normal budget shows that the family is still quite capable, and it is impossible to overspend without money.

The working class loves 100 yuan's advanced composite floor.

Floor products

For home improvement, when you first come into contact with decoration, you can imagine that one of the things to consider will definitely be the floor. Because this is a big home improvement project, it will generally account for about 10%. How can it be underestimated?

When choosing the floor, the first thing to consider is the decoration budget. Without money, isn't it useless to say anything? Reasonable budget arrangement can make the house more stable, so money is the primary consideration.

Secondly, we should carefully consider what kind of floor to buy, solid wood floor, solid wood composite floor, composite floor and bamboo floor. Why is this question just a consideration? Because in these categories, the prices are uneven, and it is not surprising that there are many differences. Maybe the price of a certain brand of composite flooring can buy other brands of solid wood flooring, or maybe the price of a certain brand of composite flooring is only a fraction of the price of a certain brand of solid wood flooring, so this issue only needs careful consideration, and there is no need to rush to determine the general direction.

Third, we should carefully compare the cost performance of each brand, among which quality, price and service are indispensable.

Solid wood flooring, gorgeous, noble, difficult to take care of, the price is usually relatively high;

Solid wood composite flooring, with few varieties and styles, is easy to take care of, and the price is as good as solid wood flooring;

Composite floor, with various patterns, hardly needs special care, and is cheap as long as you pay a little attention at ordinary times;

About tenon and groove:

The floor thickness of single tongue and double tongue is the same. Each has its own advantages in firmness, hardness and anti-destruction performance. Personally, I think the single tongue-and-groove process is relatively mature and stable at present. Also pay attention to the width or depth of tongue groove, at least 5 mm

Floor products

About the lock catch:

Whether the floor is firmly connected does not depend on the number of locks, but on the chamfer angle and chamfer area of locks. Personally, I think it's ok to weigh two or three times, and a * * * is five or six millimeters deep. Look at the end face carefully and compare it. You can also take home the introduction and publicity of various brands about locks and tongue-and-groove, and compare them carefully.

About color:

Dark color appears thick, atmospheric and calm; Need to be diligent and clean frequently, and dirty things can't be hidden;

Light color fashion, relaxed and natural; More suitable for lazy people, it is said that cleaning can be done every month.

In terms of quality, we should also pay attention to the paving process. For example: nail shop, glue shop, nail-free and glue-free molding can not be repeated once, nail-free and glue-free molding can be repeated many times, and the impact of nail shop and glue shop on the floor after demolition.

There are also many questions such as whether it can be repaired for free, whether the color difference of the floor is serious, whether the hardness of the tree species is moderate, and ordering, delivery, replenishment, return, installation, cleaning and maintenance.

Most of the quality of big brands can be assured, and the service is generally not too bad, so the price is relatively high;

The quality of small brands is not assured, and the service and price depend on the situation;

In short, see more, walk more, listen more, remember more, and identify more.

Finally, negotiate with your family, according to your own preferences and comparison of the brand, color and price of the floor, comprehensively consider the quality, price and service, and choose the floor suitable for your home.

One of the subdivision work: hydropower waterway chapter

Waterway: kitchen and bathroom

Kitchen:

You need to consider range hoods, cookers, sinks, water purifiers, food waste disposers, refrigerators, gas water heaters, microwave ovens, induction cookers, electric hot pots, coffee machines, soymilk machines, disinfection cabinets, various tableware, pots and pans, bottles and cans, etc.

The waterway of the kitchen is mainly the location of the sink.

Gas systems are mainly stoves and gas water heaters.

It depends on the habits of each family. Not all of them have to be put in the kitchen. What if the kitchen is small? My refrigerator is in the corner of the dining room.

Moreover, some things are not necessities, and they are not necessities that are not suitable for you. Choose what you like and what suits you, and don't pursue the so-called face and possibility.

Toilet:

Bathtub (or wooden bucket, shower room), toilet, basin cabinet, mop pool, washing machine, bathroom mirror, all kinds of pendants and hangers should be considered.

The location of the toilet is the key. Generally speaking, it is best not to move or move, so as to get into the water smoothly and avoid long-term suffering in the future.

If there is only a slight deviation in size, generally within 10 cm, the shifter is to solve this problem.

If you want to make extensive changes and move, I advise you not to make trouble for yourself. It's not that it won't succeed, but the probability is very small. And can the downstairs and the property promise? Even if you just toss in your own room, the direction of the pipeline, the height of hoisting, the size of the base, the problems that may be left behind in the future, and so on. Are you sure this is really good?

Bathtub, water is better, otherwise it will be very troublesome to dismantle and repair. Anyway, when you build a bathtub, you must leave a safety check.

Other launch locations can be arranged as required.

Kitchen and bathroom, these two spaces will not be very big on one side. How to make good use of the corner of the space according to the habits and preferences of your family depends on your ability.

Regarding whether the waterway is up or down, it is mostly down now, because it is ppr hot melt welding, as long as the construction is correct, it will generally not leak. But sometimes it will be punctured by nails such as floors and buckles during construction, so the site waterway route map must be kept.

In fact, it is safer to walk on it, but it is not necessarily beautiful. It is good if there are corner lines or local ceilings to cover them.

Cold and hot water pipes go hand in hand, and the location of various faucets must be carefully considered. Each pipe that can flow water should be equipped with an angle valve to facilitate maintenance and replacement.

There is also a water pressure test. Generally, after 8 kilograms and a half hours of decline, use a napkin to grope all the way along the bottom of the water pipe, especially at the connecting parts such as elbows. Once suspicious water traces are found, they should be rectified immediately, and the pressure should be re-tested until there are no suspicious water traces.

Subdivision 2: Hydropower lines

Circuit: the whole house.

1. Functional space should be divided into: living room, dining room, kitchen, guest bathroom, main bathroom, master bedroom, second bedroom, elderly room, children's room, nanny room, study room, guest room, small living room, leisure area, multi-function hall, storage room, cloakroom, corridor, stairs, Nanyang terrace, Beiyintai terrace, hanging garden, etc.

According to the needs, determine which functional spaces are necessary, which are both, and which are not or abandoned. Look at the lights first, that is, the switch part.

Every functional space generally needs overhead lights, and special places also need special lighting. For example: decorative lamps, wall lamps, floor lamps, bedside lamps, table lamps, floor lamps, night lamps, cover lamps at the bottom of kitchen cabinets, mirror headlights in bathrooms, yuba or heaters, independent fans and other unique lamps and lamps that need to be controlled by switches.

Then consider the socket part.

Generally speaking, except for the air conditioner and electric water heater, you need to go all the way alone, and arrange the socket of 16A, and the rest are 10A.

Yuba's switches are usually brought by electrical appliances.

According to the number of electrical appliances to be arranged in each functional space, two or three more can be reserved respectively.

When arranging the socket, be sure to see clearly how many holes the plug of the electrical appliance you want to arrange to install is! ! ! If you are not sure, it is absolutely useful to go to the market first.

Don't say I arranged a five-hole socket, okay? Actually, it is not.

Kitchen: Generally speaking, most of them are three plugs, but some plugs are usually plugged in and rarely need to be unplugged, such as range hoods, rice cookers, microwave ovens, disinfection cabinets, food waste processors and so on. Therefore, it is best to arrange a three hole socket with a switch in the kitchen and reserve a five-hole one.

Bathroom: washing machine, automatic butt washer, electric shaver for men, etc. , you can arrange three holes and five holes as needed.

There are a lot of three holes and two holes in places where computers are online, such as study. It is right to decorate more.

Living room: TV-related parts are mostly two holes, and four holes should be more than five holes.

As for weak current:

Wired, telephone, network, audio, infrared, etc.

You can arrange it where you need it.

In fact, many things can't be put into the weak box, which is not practical enough.

There is no intelligent wiring now, so it is good to refer to it.

The third subdivision of work: carpentry

Woodworking, more or less, depends on how you choose.

I can think of doors, door covers, skirting lines, corner lines, ceilings, partitions, antique shelves, shelves, floors, cabinets, bookcases, wardrobes, shoe cabinets, TV cabinets, porch cabinets, sideboards, bathroom cabinets and other cabinets and wood products.

But many or even most of them are finished or semi-finished products. What carpenters really need to do is probably only partition walls and sill. It would be nice if the skirting line and the internal corner line are directly installed with finished products:)

In this way, what is in front of everyone is whether to let the carpenter do it or buy the finished product directly.

Then compare:

Made by carpenters:

Most of them should choose more environmentally friendly fir board+veneer+thread decoration.

It is necessary to do a good job of painting and sealing the plate to reduce the chance of deformation due to moisture;

If it is not a traditional craft, the firmness may not be reliable. After all, it is also nails and boards;

In appearance, it is definitely much worse than the finished product;

As for the cost, it is almost the same as the estimation of middle and low-grade finished products. Because labor costs and material costs come and go quite big, not necessarily cheap.

Buy finished products:

Completely finished products, now choose melamine board furniture, the performance is relatively stable;

There are many brands, and the price difference is quite wide, which is really a mixed bag;

There are also various cabinets, bookcases, cloakrooms and so on. That can be tailored. Although it is not as complete as the finished product in appearance, it is much better than the handmade one.

These are generally calculated according to the expanded area, so it is necessary to calculate clearly; It would be nice if there was one calculated according to the projected area.

As for the cost, it depends on your luck. If you can meet a real big promotion, big sale and big clearance, it must be earned; If you can't meet it, it depends on your bargaining level, how to get your psychological price with your golden words; If this doesn't work, you'll have to follow the crowd.

As for the cost comparison, you can give an example: the prices of upper and lower cabinets including countertops are all 800 yuan/meter, and the materials, accessories, workmanship, quality and other aspects are similar. This cost is similar to the cost of letting carpenters do it and buying materials themselves.

Therefore, we should turn to the market more, know more about the market conditions, and care more about and inquire about what we need.

The fourth subdivision of work: painting articles

Generally there are wood paint, latex paint and wallpaper.

Wood coatings:

As the name implies, it must be used in wood products, that is, all kinds of wood products.

There are not many big brands, but it is relatively easy to choose. It is best to choose brands that have long occupied technology, technology, quality, sales volume and good reputation.

For example, Siemens refrigerators, Philips razors and Sharp flat-panel TVs are all brands and main directions that I think are very good. Not advertising them, just explaining such a meaning.

As for wood lacquer, I prefer China Resources, Ou Long and Ivy. There are too many fake bauhinia flowers, which is really hard to say.

There are many kinds of wood lacquer, so we should choose them according to the needs of color and style.

Wood coatings are also determined according to the required painting area, and then according to this liter, the most suitable unit packages of different brands, varieties and specifications are selected.

This is also a science. If the calculation is not good, it will waste a lot, and these can't be saved yet.

A set of wood paint can not be painted in a few square meters, at least three layers and two sides. In fact, the demand is still quite large, not to be underestimated!

Latex paint:

There are also water-based paints and the like, which are used on walls. First of all, naturally, it is also an area.

There are three simple estimation methods:

Painting area = purchase area (interior construction area+pool area) *2.5

Wall painting area = interior construction area (interior usable area+wall area) *2.8

Brush area = usable area of the suite (horizontal projection area of each functional space in the decoration budget) *3

Generally, there are 1L, 5L and 20L coating packages. If you want to know the most formal factory production specifications, you have to go to the websites of various brands to find the answer.

Generally, there are only high-grade 1L and 5L, and low-grade only 20L without1l. Moreover, fraud is prevalent now, and figuring out the specifications is about to become a compulsory course for home improvement.

At the construction site, you should also mark the genuine products you have worked so hard to buy and let the workers keep empty barrels. If you don't keep it, it will be discarded and the workers will pay the price.

Because there are too many empty barrels of the same kind, it is easy to cheat. Don't be embarrassed. There is really nothing to be embarrassed about. Anyway, there is absolutely no regret medicine.

Decoration companies and workers like to use Nippon, because the actual water exchange rate can be great, which is a good opportunity to cut corners! How could they miss it!

If it is master paint, there are strict requirements for mixing water, otherwise there will be fewer pranks if it is not done well. By the way, the master's paint is better with primer. Primer and topcoat are different, the quality is better, and it is better to do their own jobs.

Different products have different theoretical painting areas, so their own theoretical painting areas are written on the product packaging.

Divide the estimated painting area by the theoretical painting area, one bottom and two sides, and calculate the number of barrels required for each primer and topcoat.
