Kitchen repair by own hands

Sooner or later, but comes the moment when hosts apartments start to think hard about overhauling, remaking, upgrading their kitchen. Some simply tired of old dilapidated walls, ceiling, worn furniture. Someone does not like too small, in his opinion, the functionality of the room. Someone wants to optimize the closest space to the maximum. In any case, the repair of a good kitchen results in a large-scale and costly event.

In addition to having to purchase a lot of good quality building materials, pick up new furniture and kitchen appliances, conduct or update communications, a very significant part of the costs should be planned for specialists. And can not you save on this by doing a kitchen repair yourself?

In order for to adopt such a bold decision, it is necessary very to clearly to represent that volume of works to be faced. The purpose of the of this article is to give the reader an idea of ​​the specifics of the repair in the kitchen, the nuances of the arrangement of this room, with the

calculation of the so that you can really assess your strengths and capabilities of the before the on how to get down to work.

What is so special about the kitchen?

The kitchen almost always has a special "status" compared to other rooms in the apartment, and the requirements for its equipment and finishing are special.

• In the kitchen, the housewives spend a very large part of their lives. Hence, it is necessary to create for this a maximum of comfortable conditions. It should be warm, good lighting is needed, drafts should be prevented.
• Food preparation should be carried out in the conditions of the greatest possible purity. So, you need to make sure that the premises meet the accepted sanitary standards. Cleaning of the kitchen is done almost after each use, and therefore should not cause excessive difficulties.

• In the kitchen there must be laid all the necessary communications - running water, with cold and hot water, sewerage, gas main( if the house is gasified), wiring the required capacity.
• Foods used for cooking often leave oily, greasy traces, can be sufficiently chemically aggressive. In this case, the danger lies not only in the direct ingress of such substances on the surface of the floor and adjacent to the working areas of the walls - one can not ignore the abundant evaporation that is unavoidable in the thermal preparation of food. Hence, from such exposure is not fully insured even the ceiling. Materials for finishing all surfaces of the room and kitchen furniture must be selected so that they are not afraid of such influences and are easily washed.

• However, kitchen is a premise with high humidity - this also needs to be considered when choosing finishing materials. Whatever one may say, no one can be insured in the kitchen and about t pouring liquids on the floor - hence the increased requirements for waterproofing.
• In order to minimize the negative effects of evaporation and maintain a comfortable atmosphere in the kitchen, it is necessary to pipe without the exhaust ventilation system or( and) independent air purification.

• Modern kitchen is full of appliances, without which many housewives no longer represent their lives. A thoughtful arrangement of the devices and their correct connection is required, with taking into account the safety rules of the .
• The kitchen premise and placement of all s in it necessary elements must be thought out to the smallest detail - to the owners of it should be most convenient to use its for its intended purpose.
• Another one of the most important moments of the - in the overwhelming number of families the kitchen is not only a cooking area. Usually it is a sort of "family club" where a lot of topical internal issues are solved and where "gatherings" with the closest relatives and friends are held. And this means that should, if possible , be provided with a cozy corner, where you can comfortably settle. Yes, and the whole finish of the kitchen should be like this, so that the pleases the eye, and the so that the is not ashamed to receive guests there.

And all is , about than mentioned above, it is required to organize, most often, in conditions of a very limited area, where you will not "run up".So the task is very difficult.

What should I do?

Actually, the repair of the kitchen itself can be divided into many stages, each of which is important in its own way, but more often than not - is mandatory, with some or other variations. It is enough just to list these stages, so that it becomes clear how large-scale is the common task. So, "on the way to the finish" is the following:

• Release of premises - it is usually required to carry out a complete volume , otherwise it is difficult to carry out measurements and layout.
• Checking the condition of walls, ceilings, floors, windows and doors, communications and .
• Carrying out of careful measurements.
• Planning the placement of large-sized stationary kitchen and home appliances.
• Preliminary selection of kitchen furniture - and according to dimensions, and functionality. Drawing up the project its placement.
• Thorough cleaning of all surfaces of the room.
• Carrying out of repair( updating) of a basic surface of a floor.
• A similar operation is a revision of the state and basic repair of the ceiling.
• Repair of communications or laying of new ones, corresponding to the compiled project.
• Checking the ventilation status, it is possible - to make changes to the of its design.
• Replacement or thorough restoration of windows and doors.
• Finishing works, in the direction of from top to bottom : ceiling, walls and finishing flooring with installation of skirting boards.
• Installation and suspension of stationary equipment, furniture, lighting devices.
• Connect and verify the operation of all systems.

Now it makes sense to consider these stages in more detail. However, not all will pay the same attention: some of them are simple and intuitive, they do not require special explanations, others are related to technological processes, which are very detailed and intelligibly painted in special publications of our portal( corresponding links will be offered to the reader).But certain specific moments require a really close look.

Primary activities

Evaluation of the general condition of the kitchen

It is impossible to plan correctly the repair without a thorough revision of the condition of the room - walls, floor of the ceiling, communications. And to carry out such an in-depth check will only be possible after the kitchen has been completely freed from furniture and equipment, as in most cases it will be necessary to remove the old floor covering. Ideally, it is better to carry out repairs in conditions where the family temporarily resides elsewhere. If this is not possible, the will have to somehow get out of the - temporarily leave the in place of the old plate, the water is in the bathroom, and only a small desktop can be carried where it will be required.

is often opened. After that, you can t t quickly evaluate the state of the room - , is there any reason to leave something in its original state, or does it require a more radical approach. It is necessary to tap all the walls to determine weak, unstable places. About the flooring already mentioned - in 99 cases out of 100 will require dismantling. The state of windows and doors is assessed - whether it is worthwhile to repair and restore them or to install new ones. The same applies to the radiator - perhaps the old battery will not fit into the conceived concept of the kitchen interior.

. It is necessary to assess the condition of the water mains and the sewage system - do they need the in replacing the , transferring it to another location, completely reworking in connection with the planned installation, for example, a column or a boiler.

The locations of the outlets and their condition should be evaluated. However, if repairs are carried out with the installation of new kitchen appliances, then most likely, the power distribution will have to for a corresponding increasing load.

After the room is vacant, do not compile the t t ore to conduct a thorough measurement of all the parameters of the kitchen - to the smallest detail. This is the - prerequisite for for further planning.

Measurement of

It is necessary to draw an approximate kitchen plan on the sheet of paper at least to so that you can transfer the results directly to on it during the measurements. Subsequently, the plan can( and even need) will be "cultivated".

What parameters are subject to mandatory measurements:

• Length and width of the room. The distance between the opposite walls is measured, preferably not only along the perpendicular wall to them, but at several points. Do not be too lazy to measure and diagonal to compare them - this will help to know exactly whether the right rectangle lies at the bottom. If the room has an complicated form - with a niche or part of the corridor, it is also transferred to the plan with all sizes
• Height from floor to flow .
• Location of windows and doors - their distance from the walls, the length and width, the direction of opening the doors, for the window - the height of the sill.
• The location of the wall-mounted heater( battery), on which the is located, passing the heating riser and the nozzles, to the which the has an radiator connected to.
• Specific position of the gas riser, of the ( if any) and a mounted branch pipe with a tap for connecting the gas stove.
• Location of input of water pipes and sewerage. If a transfer is planned, then on the diagram it will be possible to mark the desired position.
• Size and position of the vent.
• Exact location of power outlets, general lighting switch in the kitchen.
• If there are other stationary elements in the kitchen( for example, mezzanines on for veri and for .), They are also applied to the circuit.

For convenience, the reader is offered an approximate graphical diagram of the required measurements:

Designation on the	diagram Parameter
X	Length( width) of the room at the level of the base of the kitchen furniture
Y	- at the level of the
Z	worktops - at the level of the
kitchen cabinets. Such measurements are necessary, as far as these three values ​​are not alwaysare equal to each other, and this can cause certain difficulties in the placement of furniture, for example, if the room is tapering upward. The corresponding levels are indicated by the following notation:
- and - cap height, usually 100 ÷ 150 mm;
- b - worktop height, 820 ÷ 870 mm;
- with - top of the kitchen cabinets - 2100 mm
H	Overall height of the room
D, G	Position of the gas riser with respect to the angles, from above and at the level of the connection point of the
	Ventilation outlet height. Immediately measure its size and position relative to the angle.
P	Window position relative to the room angle
U	Dimensions( length and height of the window)
Similar measurements are also made for a door not shown in the
scheme k and h	Window height and window sill height above the floor level
W	Locationheating standpipe. At the same time, the position and dimensions of the battery itself( if necessary) are measured and its connection points.

After carrying out all the necessary measurements, you can proceed to planning the placement of the kitchen.

Planning the layout of the kitchen

Proce ss pl The preparation of the future kitchen will require the owners of to concentrate all their creativity. The work is carried out with calculation of for many years of use without additional rework, so the hurry in this matter - is absolutely not appropriate .

For sure the owners already have some preference for water kitchen furniture, refrigerator, gas or electric cooker or hob. Hence, it will be necessary to determine exactly whether this choice corresponds to the size of the kitchen, and how it will be more appropriate to arrange the placement of all items in the room with the calculation of the for the most comfortable operation and with the taking into account the existing regulations.

How to approach the planning from a practical point of view - everyone decides on their own. People with artistic talent prefer to make sketches in color - so it's easier for them to imagine the future interior of the kitchen.

For fans of the modern approach, with the appropriate skills, has created a lot of computer applications, from purely graphical programs( such as CorelDRAW) to real engineering CAD, allowing to work including with 3D mock-ups.

Can do otherwise . From a piece of packing cardboard it's easy to glue the layout of the room on a scale, say 1 : 10( 1 m real room = 10 cm on the layout).In the same scale, models of large household appliances are cut out of a piece of foam plastic, which will house on the kitchen, and furniture items.

"Playing the blocks", that is, moving the "kitchen" items and hanging the "lockers" with a piece of plasticine, you can come to an optimal layout.

Things to consider:

• The gas riser can not be moved. True, now flexible gas hoses up to of four meters are allowed, so that with the location of the plate, the owners have a certain degree of freedom in .
• Water pipes and sewer pipes to build up or completely lay new no one prohibits. The permissible length of flexible hoses for connecting the mixer in the sink must not exceed 1, 5 m ( the smaller the better, since this is always a vulnerable part of the ).

• cooker For reasons, the gas or electric cooker should not be located near a window or near a sink. Also is absolutely not permissible its neighborhood with high vertical pieces of kitchen furniture and with a refrigerator.
• If it is planned to exhaust ventilation, it is better to place the plate as close to the vent as possible, so that you do not have to pull a long pipe or a box.

Now we pass to the comfort of placement.

There is the concept of a "working triangle of the kitchen".This conditionally limited space, which accounts for the bulk of the mistress's movements during cooking. Usually a similar triangle is defined by with three "tops" of - gas cooker, a sink and a refrigerator.

It is clear that the kitchen will be so much more comfortable, the fewer unnecessary movements the will have doing to the hostess in the process of work. But, with , it does not have to be too tight to block movements and prevent accidental touches by hands or body to dangerous places( stove) and other objects. Usually close to the ideal is a triangle, where the sink is located approximately 1 ÷ 1, 2 m from the plate and 1,2 ÷ 2 m from the refrigerator.

It is clear that in practice it is not always possible to achieve an ideal. Depending on the configuration of the room and its area, one of the main schemes, which can be slightly varied, is applicable to specific conditions. Miniatures of similar schemes are presented in the table. A red line marks the working triangle of the kitchen.

Scheme	Short description
	Linear position. Characteristic for narrow or elongated rooms. The triangle turns into a line, with a center - a sink, a refrigerator and a stove along the edges. Suitable for wall lengths from 2 to 3.5 meters, otherwise it will either be very crowded, or the extreme points will be too spaced.
	Angular, L-shaped arrangement, usually used in typical small kitchens, although it is also perfect for a spacious room. Even in the most cramped conditions, it becomes possible to isolate the dining area, which is not cut off from the working triangle.
	Double row layout. It can be as shown in the diagram, or with the arrangement of rows along opposite walls. The latter is relevant in those rare cases, the year through the kitchen is organized through passage.
	The U-shaped arrangement covers three adjacent walls. One of the most successful locations, if the area allows, as between the opposite rows there should be a space of at least 1.3 ÷ 1.5 m.
	The island location - either a sink or a stove is moved to the center of the room. It is clear that such an arrangement is possible only in very spacious kitchens, and is designed, honestly speaking, "for the lover."
	The G-shaped or peninsular arrangement assumes a protruding part separating the working space from the dining area. Often a bar counter is used for this purpose. It is clear that the kitchen area at the same time should be quite impressive.

Drawing up a project and selecting suitable pieces of furniture and kitchen appliances for it, definitely takes a lot of time. However, without this you can not go any further. There is a laying of communications, wiring of power lines - all this is often associated with dirty and dusty work on the throating the walls and even floors, and you need clearly to know what and where to hold.

If planning is successfully completed, go directly to practical repair work.

Carrying out repairs

Cleaning surfaces

If the remodel nt pr is carried out in a kitchen that has served a lot, the wall surfaces and the ceiling, the doors and windows were probably soaked with old fumes, from the is a must to get rid of.

All old coatings are removed from the walls - whether it's wallpaper or painting, the tiles( if is not supposed to leave it ).There are no unified councils for cleaning - all possible tools are used: spatulas, scrapers, wall humidification or firing with a construction hair dryer. If areas of swollen plaster are identified, they are brutally beaten to the base of the wall. Similar actions are taken and on the ceiling - there should not be any weak and dirty places, even if the has to go to the bare brick of the wall or the slab.

It is recommended not to be cleaned with cleaning, but is still and thoroughly rinsed surfaces with a solution that is made of water and kitchen detergent( 1 : 20) with the addition of table vinegar. The cleaning is carried out with a metalized sponge, and then washed with clean water at least twice.

After surfaces are cleaned and washed, it is advisable to carry out the first stage of their "treatment" by treating them twice with a penetrating primer with antiseptic action. This will not only provide a decontaminating effect - temporary strengthening of surfaces will be achieved, before finishing works.

In case when old wooden windows and doors are planned to be left, all of their surfaces are also cleaned of the old paint - by washing, scraping, firing, grinding and , .

Floor and ceiling preparation

On the floor, as a rule, the old coating requires replacement. It is dismantled, the construction debris is taken out, and carefully inspect the condition of the surface. Very often it is necessary to beat off the old screed to get to the "healthy" slab.

To carry out further work, having an uneven under the feet of the after the dismantling of the floor, it will be extremely inconvenient, therefore it is better to start immediately with the screed device. Its is poured with calculation of so that the thickness of the planned finish coat is taken into account.

How to fill the screed - in detail, with all the nuances outlined in a special publication of our portal.

It will be safe to continue work after filling the roughing floor after 5 ÷ 7 days, if used ordinary concrete, or even earlier, if used special building mixes( usually specifies on their packaging).

Now that is free to move around, it is necessary to repair the ceiling "by draft".Very often during cleaning, cracks, joints between slabs, slots in the area of ​​the joints of the ceiling and walls are identified or opened. How to conduct seam sealing can be found from the article, dedicated to exactly this issue.

Laying of communications

The ceiling and floor are ready for finishing. It would seem that the turn of the walls, but no - at first you need to do all the necessary communications.

• Water pipes lead to the installation site of the kitchen sink. Most often in our time they are hiding in the walls, leaving only water outlets or branch pipes from the outside for further local wiring or connecting the collector. The walls are cut shtroby , which hides mounted trunks. To simplify the task for , usually the arrangement of the sink is selected with calculation , so that the is located near the place where pipes are put into the room - then you can do without penetrating the of the shrouds, or all the will be hidden by kitchen furniture.

• There, too, a sewage pipe is supplied to the sink. It is important to maintain the necessary bias so that water can flow freely into the sewer pipe, so this question should be thought in advance - sometimes you even have to go deeper into the floor screed.
• Never transfer the gas pipe, or , especially , can not be hidden in the wall. The only thing that controllers in a gas facility can afford is to cover with its and counter with kitchen drawers . but so that access to any is provided to its site.
• Special attention is paid to the installation of electrical wiring. Modern kitchen can be satiated with appliances, and old wiring( most often - aluminum), with the load can not cope. So, will have to change to quality copper wires. But also this still not all. Each device must have an individual connection point, with the calculating the for its power( except for table devices used occasionally).Most likely, it will require the laying of even a few lines, especially if you plan to install an electric hob and / or an oven.

The table below shows the power values ​​of common kitchen units. Where and how it is planned to install the hosts have already been determined - means to these places and is conducted by wiring.

Kind of household appliance	Average power consumption	Power supply connection features
Electric cooker or hob	from 3500 to 12000 W	Requires individually laid power line
Electric oven	2500 to 10000 W
Elctric water heater	from2500 to 7000 W
Automatic washing machine	1500 to 3000 W
Dishwasher	1500 to 3500 W
Microwave oven	700 to 2500 W	RareSwitching to the usual 16 A socket
Refrigerator( only at the moment of starting)	500 to 2000 W
Electric kettle	700 to 1500 W
Kitchen processor( harvester)	500 to 1500 W
Baker, steamer, etc.	from 700 to 2000 W
Cooker hood	from 500 to 1500 W
Toaster	to 1000 W
	waste shaker from 400 to 1000 volts

lines of a particular power require the use of a copper wire of the appropriate cross-section, suitable for the nominal value of the automatic launchers. For those who do not know how to calculate this on their own, the following diagram can help:

RCDs Installation of outlets and switches will most often require cutting out the corresponding jacks from in en. Where it is best to place the connection points in the kitchen - is shown in the picture:

Of course, this is given as an example, and , this arrangement will be safe and convenient from the point of view of everyday use.

To a ceiling luminaire, the wiring is usually already installed in the cavity of the floor slab, and it will replace the cable there - it is quite difficult. If nevertheless there is a need for laying new wires, then they are now most often hidden behind a suspended ceiling.

Ventilation in the kitchen

Ventilation in the kitchen is a must. In any house, even the oldest building, there are ventilating shafts with air vents into the room. To lay these windows or reduce their section is strictly forbidden, as well as trying to change their location, for example, using boxes or pipes.

The only thing you can afford( sometimes it requires coordination with the building operating organization) is to expand the ventilation window, in order to further connect the kitchen hood to it. But it should be remembered that in itself the kitchen hood does not in any case replace general ventilation - it only serves her help. Therefore, a special grating is used, which allows both airway connection and free air passage.

Kitchen extractor hood is not a necessary element in itself, but it is not necessary to neglect it. Another thing, how to solve the issue with its connection?

In addition to the already mentioned method, there is another way - it is possible to pierce the hole in the external wall to which the air duct is to be punctured, with ( often ) .

As airway channels, corrugated aluminum pipes, special plastic ventilation ducts and can be used, such as .The main thing is that the diameter of the section is not lower than the parameters specified in the drawing of the extractor. In addition, a large number of turns should be avoided - in total not more than of three , otherwise ventilation efficiency will be significantly reduced. Air ducts can be placed on top of kitchen cabinets, so as to hide them from the field of view.

And still one option - do with the hood, operating in recirculation mode. The air rising from the plate passes through the filter system and is ejected cleaned back into the room. In this case, the installation works on the walls will be limited only by suspension brackets for the hood.

Installation of doors and windows and finishing works

Windows and doors

It's time to finish works. But they must be preceded by the installation or putting in order of windows and doors. This is due to the fact that when decorating walls it will be possible to repair slopes and window sills. In addition, odors from paint and varnish finishing materials should not apply to the entire apartment. There is also another one reason - the installation of cumbersome structures after carrying out the finishing finish is fraught with damage to the walls or floor.

Assembly doors and windows on The portal is dedicated to whole section, so there is no point in dwelling on this - you can find it necessary by reference.

After the installation, in the process decoration of the room, the windows and doors have not lost their appearance, they can be tightened with a protective polyethylene with film.

Ceiling

The next on the row of the is the ceiling - from top to bottom. What material for its finishing will be preferable?

So trendy today, stretch ceilings or laid out of expanded polystyrene panels definitely will not do. Stretch does not like high humidity and temperature changes, it will be difficult to clean it from the inevitable attack of , and styrofoam in such conditions, the will start to turn yellow, manifesting itself even through the water emulsion .

For the flow, it is possible to use a suspended structure made of water-resistant plasterboard. Very well show themselves as a ceiling lining PVC panel( lining) or slats. I cover the ceiling and laminated MDF panels after the appropriate treatment( impregnation on the underside of the primer based on PVA ).

In the end, you can leave a flat surface, having made quality shpatlevanie and polishing, and cover with a stable water-based paint - as necessary refresh the painting will not be difficult.

If a suspended ceiling is planned, it is desirable to provide ventilation between it and the slab. It is very difficult to completely get rid of the kitchen vapor, and in this sinus the excess moisture and other saturated vapors rising from the plate can accumulate, creating a nutrient medium for the undesirable microflora. And actually, should try to mount the ceiling so as to prevent the vapor from entering the space above it.

Walls

After the ceiling comes the turn of the walls. It is clear that they must be with the most thorough way aligned and the is filled with .

At the same time, one should not forget that they are expected to have enough heavy furniture items, which will still to be filled with kitchen utensils. Therefore, the wall material must be able to withstand such a load, keeping the fasteners well.

Aligning walls with plasterboard in kitchen conditions is not always justified. Whatever one may say, but such a finish is sure to " steal " space and so already close premises.

How to cover the walls in the kitchen?

Contrary to the established opinion, tiles are by no means the most hygienic option under the conditions in question. It's not so much in it as in interlacing seams, which often become a kind of "trap" for fatty kitchen fumes. And to clean up the accumulated dirt from there is very difficult.

With tiles, it makes sense to clothe a piece of wall near the desktop and the sink. Yes, and - in our time there are more modern solutions for the design of these zones. These are wall panels( the so-called has been removed by ), which not only reliably protects the wall surface, but also gives the kitchen interior a very interesting look.

skins. The skins of are made of high-strength laminated MDF , made of plastic and glass. They can have a variety of colors and textures, often using photo printing and even decorative lighting. Such panels will perfectly close the gap between table tops and hanging cabinets.

And as for the main surface of the walls, the best option is all the same vinyl washable wallpaper. They are very hygienic, do not absorb odors, they can easily be put in order by regular wet cleaning. The wallpaper does not "steal" a centimeter of the kitchen space. And even about the diversity of their design and can not speak - it will satisfy, perhaps, the most demanding tastes. You can buy smooth, with embossed pattern, with silk screen , pick for any style design and for any furniture.

With due care and proper selection of color, quality vinyl wallpapers have a lot - you can count on 10 years.

questions on the ceiling and wall decoration , with the statement of technological instructions - in a special section of our portal.

Finishing of the floor

Finish the finishing works of the floor covering on the floor and the installation of skirting boards.

Screed during the execution of all the stages of repair and finishing has already reached complete maturity, and on it can lay any coating.

• Ceramic tiles - a very good option, provided, of course, very careful sealing of seams. Choose a tile you need with a rough surface - in the kitchen is not not it is impossible to get liquid or food on the floor, and the usual glossy tile will become very slippery.

The lack of ceramic tiles - it is the "killer" of utensils. A dropped glass or porcelain thing, if the is not endowed with specific qualities, the almost is guaranteed to crash.

• Very well shows itself in a kitchen laminate. It is not slippery, warm, pleasant to the feet, durable, it is easy to the is brought to a clean state.

The main thing - to choose the right type of laminate and properly produce its laying. Then such a floor will not be afraid of humidity, nor a point shock load from accidentally fallen dishes.

• Linoleum in the kitchen, too often steljut. This is entirely acceptable, but only if the material meets the conditions of operation under such conditions. Because of some instability of this coating to excessive moisture and temperature changes, it still has to be treated with some degree of caution.

And here its modern "colleague" - marmoleum lacks inherent in linoleum, practically does not. This is a completely natural coating, which is especially important for the kitchen. He is not afraid of loads and impacts typical for this room, so it is increasingly used for finishing the floor in the kitchen.

The only its rather conventional failure can be considered only that the panels of the marmoleum, as a rule, are produced without patterned or ornamental design, monophonic. But nothing does not prevent from folding on the floor of the original mosaic .

Each material has its own flooring technique. To learn about this with all the details you can from a special section of our portal, dedicated to polam - there is told almost all modern technologies device finish coating .

There are skirting boards. The peculiarity of their use in the kitchen is that they are not only a decorative element, but the protection of the joint of the floor and walls from penetration into the corner of moisture and dirt. This makes them special requirements for installation - skirting must be mounted to the walls not only on fastening elements, but also on the hermetic continuous adhesive base, for example « liquid nails ) .The gap between the wall and the plinth should not be left. If still has a small gap( because of of light curvature of the wall), then it should be sealed with the chosen sealant.

Do not install wooden skirting boards - they do not like high humidity. On sale a lot of different models of plastic or other composite materials.

⃰ ⃰ ⃰ ⃰ ⃰

In fact, you can "put a point" - repair of the kitchen can be considered completed . It remains to import the chosen furniture and household appliances, carefully unpack and sequentially install it on the planned places. Installation and connection are made in accordance with the instructions attached to products - but this is beyond the scope of this article.

This is the approximate "thorny path" to be passed to the owners who wish to perform repairs in the kitchen on their own. It is very good to assess their capabilities, and, it is possible that the choice will still be made in favor of the call of qualified masters. However - "the gods do not burn pots".Be brave!
