Do-it-yourself old cottage repair

My sister and I got fired up with the idea of ​​buying a small summer cottage when we were 22 and 25 years old, respectively. We are both fond of decorating and we wanted to bring various interesting ideas to life, as well as have a place where you can just take a break from the bustle of the city and enjoy being close to nature.

The place was not chosen by chance - overlooking the ancient pine forest, on the other side of which our grandparents once lived, and with which our happy childhood is associated.

View of the pine forest from the attic

The plots in this SNT are small - only 3 acres, but we were primarily interested not in the garden, but in the house. Therefore, proposals with plots turned into one continuous bed, we immediately swept aside.

… And, finally, luck smiled upon us - an elderly man responded to an advertisement written by hand - his old acquaintance was selling a plot with a house. When we saw him (a house, not a man) - it was love at first sight! A board house with an attic and an overgrown garden! We asked for the hostess's phone number and immediately agreed to purchase without bargaining for the price (and it turned out to be much lower than we expected!). So we became its happy mistresses.

The house was made with love, but already very "neglected". We wanted to breathe new life into it, making repairs and at the same time not spending large sums. We initially decided that it would be a "budget" renovation, and wanted to prove that nice and cozy does not mean expensive.

This is how the house looked at the time of purchase and the start of cleaning: old wallpaper, yellowed from time and smudges of the roof, an old bed and gray chairs:

The wall opposite the bed (let's call this place so that later it will be convenient to compare 😉)

I will not show even more terrible places on the ceiling - so as not to frighten you))

So, my sister and I began the renovation with cleaning.

They raked out and sorted the rubbish stored in the shelves and "cabinets" - it was old clothes, jars, bottles, etc. Sweep everywhere garbage, dirt, dust and of course - mouse poop (tying the respiratory organs just in case with handkerchiefs and wearing masks). The trash was partially taken to the landfill, something was put on rags, something was sent to the wash, something was left for use or decoration.

We immediately named this place "tea room" - because here, as you can see, there is a small table with a couple of chairs for tea drinking and a gorgeous view from the window (the topmost photo of the post)

We washed everything with water and bleach!

Literally EVERYTHING: floors, walls, ceilings and even furniture.

We started painting the old furniture in more "cheerful" colors. For example, it was decided to make the bed white.

Acrylic paint was used. And for painting the window frames, they used cheap alkyd enamel.

The paint highlighted the structure of the wood

Gradually, a kind of "concept" of this mini-room was formed - and we called it "lavender tea house".

I decided to color one of the doors here in this way:

I write in english lavender tea room

By the way, we called the main room in the attic the "blue bedroom". It was decided to use in it a warm, joyful shade of sky blue and, of course, white for combination (association with white clouds in a blue sky).

Plywood on the ceiling in places of leaks was replaced with a new one

They tore off old wallpaper from the walls and some paper from the ceiling. Once again they washed the walls with chlorine, dried them and proceeded to wallpapering.

Wallpaper for the main wall of the bedroom chose white in a blue flower

Blue wallpaper (for combination) - 80 rubles / roll

Wallpaper on the ceiling - free (they found the old ones in the barn and pasted them on the wrong side)

It is not easy to paste over the ceiling - hands get numb, but then the hand gets full)

Meanwhile, the walls in the tea room are covered with the remnants of wallpaper stored at home (pink), and the lilac ones were bought for 70 rubles / roll in the store. The door of the "closet" is painted pink.

Well, and you are probably tired of looking at the phone photos of our "flops" and you want to see what came out of all this?

We specially arranged a "photo session" for the resulting interior with a camera:

And now the blue bedroom.

The photos are arranged as if we are turning to the right:

Shelves and a suitcase for storing linen (hand-decorated)

And from the outside, the house now looks like this (we painted it in mint and pink - we tinted it ourselves).

They painted with rollers, using a folding ladder, and leaned out of the windows to paint where the ladder did not reach:

And here we are with my sister Lyalya in the garden by the house. The bush of peonies has not bloomed yet, but has already grown out - we made a "holder" for it from an old chair with a leaky seat (which was simply torn off), found in the attic in the village at my grandmother's.

My story ends, but the story of the house's transformation is not. The plans are to "cushion" the first floor. We will definitely share the result with you!

We are gradually equipping the garden: we dream of a lawn, flowers, a fence and garden furniture.

Thank you all for your attention! We hope that we have inspired at least someone else to be creative and creative))

Garden houses built in the last century do not differ in beauty and convenience. Evgeny Orlov tells about how to reconstruct an old summer cottage relatively inexpensively on his own and radically improve the quality of life in it.

We reconstructed the house on our own and at minimal cost, trying to make the most of the old materials. As a result, the first floor was redesigned (Fig. 2), increasing the total area of ​​the house, arranged a bathroom and a heating system, corrected the appearance by remaking the walls of the hallway.

On the space of the former veranda, a separate room and a small entrance hall of 14 m2 were arranged. by making two partitions. To prevent the room from getting too cramped, due to the extension to the house, its area was increased by about 3 mg.

At the entrance, a vestibule with a depth of 70 cm with two doors was organized. The entrance hall with a staircase leading to the second floor has been reduced.

In the first room, a bathroom was fenced off, and in order to somehow compensate for the decrease in its area, a trapezoidal bay window 60 cm deep with three window openings was arranged in place of the previous window opening. The distance from the bathroom to the outer wall exceeds 2.2 m, and this is quite enough for organizing a sleeping place. As a result, the area of ​​the room turned out to be about 8 m 2.

The door of the second room was moved, making it in the partition separating the first room from the second. In the second room, a rectangular bay window with a depth of 30 cm was also arranged, increasing the total area of ​​the room to 12 m2.

Thus, on the first floor of the house, we arranged three separate isolated rooms.

Since we took the wall of the former hallway outside, it was necessary to make a foundation for it. Was it made of solid bricks with a horizontal waterproofing device made of roofing material? The foundation and plinth of the bay window of the first room are made of used concrete curbs and bricks. The basement of the bay window of the second room is made of two steel pipes at the corners of the bay window, the basement is made of available stones. The soil under the house is sandy and non-porous, so we got by with the simplest unburied foundation structure.

The walls of the extension and two bay windows are frame, 100 mm thick. Outside, the walls are faced with 10 mm thick cement bonded particle boards (DSP). Internal walls and partitions are lined with boards 25 mm thick. From the inside, the outer walls were sewn up with gypsum fiber sheets (G8L). The walls of the bathroom from the inside were faced with cement-bonded particle boards.

Since the house is operated mainly from May to September, the outer walls were not insulated.

The house has windows left over from the renovation of a Moscow apartment and slightly altered. The removed windows were disassembled into separate sashes with one glass. Additional quarters were chosen in the sash bindings. In the selected quarters, a second glass was installed, forming a kind of double-glazed window. The use of pre-owned wooden windows has significantly reduced the cost of house renovation.

A cast-iron fireplace with a glass door was installed in the place of the previous doorway from the hallway to the second room. Its weight is 98 kg, which made it possible to put the fireplace on the basement ceiling without a separate foundation. A cement screed covered with ceramic tiles was made on the floor under it. The chimney is made of stainless steel 1 mm thick. It passes through the second room, the bathroom and serves as an additional source of heat for the second vestibule and for the bathroom.

We used the existing summer water supply of a horticultural partnership. Cold water was injected into the bathroom, where a sink, toilet and shower tray are installed. The quality of water from the water supply system leaves much to be desired, therefore we use it only for technical purposes.

It was not possible to have a water closet at the dacha before. Now the house has a bathroom with a septic tank. The sewage system was assembled from plastic pipes Du100, and the septic tank was assembled from reinforced concrete rings, laying it 20 m from the house.

Bay windows have changed the appearance of the house - now it differs markedly from the typical summer cottages of the Soviet period. A fireplace with live fire brought coziness and warmth to the room, which is especially pleasant at the beginning and at the end of the summer season, and the bathroom in the country house made our house a modern home.

The tambour, the walls of the common room and the hallway covered with solid wood, have increased the thermal performance of the house. And the use of cement-bonded particle boards (CSP) and GVL in wall cladding improved the fire resistance of the house, increased the strength of the walls and their durability.

Rice. 1. Plan of the 1st floor of the house before reconstruction.
Rice. 2. Plan of the 1st floor of the house after reconstruction: 1 - vestibule at the entrance; 2 - partitions; 3 - inner vestibule; 4 - a bathroom with sanitary appliances; 5 - trapezoidal bay window; 6 - rectangular bay window; 7 - columns of asbestos-cement pipes; 8 - cast iron namin; 9 - chimney.

Budget reconstruction. The modest country house has undergone noticeable changes. Now in the summer this is a full-fledged suburban dwelling with isolated rooms in which guests can comfortably be accommodated.

Renovation of the summer cottage at the beginning of the season: work on the veranda, kitchen. Improvement of bedrooms and living room. Facade finishing

Often, even the most beautiful and well-groomed country houses and plots require renovation and beautification of the field of a long and destructive winter. It is for this reason that many summer residents in the spring begin to think about how to make repairs to the summer cottage with their own hands and put the territory in order so that they can enjoy spending time outside the city.

Every summer resident should understand that suburban ownership is a lot of painstaking work. And even if you bought a dacha not in order to set up a vegetable garden outside the city, but in order to have fun with friends, you must understand that the house on the site, as well as the site itself, must be properly maintained.

Of course, there is no need to carry out major overhauls of the building annually, but even block-container country houses must be maintained in good condition.

People in our country have long been accustomed to saving on everything, and an attempt to reduce such a parameter as the price of repairs by doing work with their own hands will not only save finances, but also put their own hands on repairs, which will be an interesting occupation and a reason for pride.

Let's take a look at the seasonal renovation of a country house from the inside, because every year some building and finishing materials require renovation.

The corridor, hallway and veranda are the premises that meet us at the entrance to the house. At the same time, they are a kind of delimiters between the cozy atmosphere of the house and the summer heat or winter cold, and they are also a barrier to the entry of flies, mosquitoes and other insects.

It is precisely this purpose of such premises that they certainly need an annual cosmetic dacha repair with their own hands.

The necessary repair work on the veranda, in the corridor or in the hallway includes:

1. Warming of the veranda;
2. Processing of entrance doors and windows;
3. Floor and ceiling finishing;
4. Repair of the roof over the veranda.

Note!
We will not talk about the options and styles of design of certain rooms in the country house, because each summer resident certainly has his own ideas for repairing the country house, which he would like to implement.

The kitchen is the room where the stove is constantly on fire, water flows from the tap, which means there are constant vapors, temperature changes. For such operating conditions, the repair of old country houses and new ones should provide for a competent selection of finishing materials that can withstand such aggressive conditions.

In the kitchen, even the highest quality finish falls into disrepair much faster than in any other room in the house.

This is precisely the reason that the following work should be done in the kitchen before the start of the season:

• Prevention of the emergence and development of mold;
• Prevention of the onset and development of the fungus;
• Antiseptic treatment against infection;
• Insect control;
• Surface tinting;
• Twisting of all loose pieces of furniture (cabinets, tables, chairs);
• Monitoring the state of communication systems (water supply, sewerage, electrical wiring).

Advice. In addition to the work presented, you may need to clean the soot if there is a stove in the kitchen, and also if we are talking about a summer country kitchen, then work may be required to eliminate roof leaks and repair brickwork.

Repair of a country house, or rather, its living rooms such as a bedroom or living room, will not require anything complicated from the owners. In these rooms, everything depends on your personal desires and preferences.

Of course, if you want to completely change the appearance, no one will bother you, but if we are talking about cosmetic repairs at the beginning of the season, then you can get by with the following measures:

1. Crack putty;
2. Whitewashing or painting the walls;
3. Varnishing of wooden surfaces (furniture, lighting fixtures, etc.).

Advice. If you were able to allocate very little time for the production of such cosmetic repairs, and power outages are often observed in your suburban area, then renting a diesel generator for a summer residence will allow you to prevent a work stoppage for a long time.

Going out into the street, you can also notice a lot of defects that your country house has acquired, therefore, do-it-yourself repair in the country house consists in the production of the following facade and roofing works:

1. Foundation work. By the beginning of the season, the foundation should remain intact, without cracks. The surface of the basement of the country house, protruding above the ground, must be finished with specialized materials or impregnations. If cracks do occur, the problem should be eliminated using natural or artificial stone, resin, bitumen, etc .;

In the photo - a crack in the foundation

1. Roofing. It doesn't matter what material was used to create the roof, the main thing is that its integrity and tightness are not compromised. To monitor the condition of the roof, you can simply wait for the rain;
2. Wall repair. The types of these works directly depend on the material from which the construction was carried out:
   1. Repair of a wooden surface can be combined with a facade insulation procedure.This procedure should begin with the processing of wood with specialized compounds, then the selected insulation is laid, an insulating film is laid on it, and then the necessary finishing work is carried out;
   2. If the dacha was built of brick, then you can either simply patch up the cracks on the surface by updating the coating material, or insulate according to the described scheme;

Insulation of brickwork

1. Repair of old country houses must be carried out strictly in accordance with the technology of their construction.

Note!
Insulating the facade of a house is certainly a good idea, the main thing is to make sure that the walls are repaired in advance, that is, cracks and loose areas of the material are cleaned and repaired.

Mazanka ready for the summer season

Each owner can carry out the repair of a country house independently, because it is in his interests that the house is cozy, beautiful and suitable for living and recreation in the summer.

And the video in this article will reveal even more secrets of seasonal renovation of a country house.

Any house, and even more so a private country house, in the process of operation, sometimes has to be repaired, however, like other buildings at the summer cottage. Home renovation can be major or just cosmetic, but one way or another there comes a moment when we start looking for a solution to a particular problem, whether it be a roof, floor, basement or walls.
If in your house and at your summer cottage you do everything, well, or almost everything with your own hands, then this section will help you.

When starting the construction of a house made of wood, you need to understand that wood is exposed to sunlight (ultraviolet radiation), humidity, and even more so to fire. To protect wood, various fire-retardant impregnations are used. Let's figure out in which cases one or another composition should be used.

Usually, when buying a country house on the secondary market, old furniture remains from the old owners, the fate of which will disappear in the trash heap or be burned at the stake. However, it happens that very interesting specimens of natural wood come across, which can be called not so much old as old.

If you are going to install new windows in your country house, then it will be useful for you to learn about the correct technology for protecting the mounting gaps with the help of materials specially developed for these purposes.
And even if a professional team is involved in the installation, you will know where to look.

If, in the process of renovating your country house, you decide to change your old windows to modern plastic ones, then here are some tips for choosing a manufacturer and an installer company.
Why step on a rake when you can get around them.

You decided to make a landscape composition from an old tree stump, for example a table, but how to cut it horizontally at the desired height so that the table top lies flat?
Do you think it is difficult? Not at all, not even with an ordinary chain saw.

This building material is used in the device of various engineering structures: it can be not only open terraces, but also floors in closed rooms and other summer cottages.
Well, if you want to lay the terrace board yourself and correctly, then read the article.

Walking around the Internet, I was looking for interesting solutions for repairs in the country and now it seems that I have found something special. This design of folding gantry with board fixation is so simple and convenient that I could not help but share it with you.

When performing summer cottage or repair work, you often have to resort to the help of auxiliary structures, sometimes very inconvenient: stairs, stools or tables. Having made auxiliary goats, you will forever save yourself from the problems of finding a convenient auxiliary structure for comfortable work.

Wooden poles dug into the ground are not durable and many factors affect their service life. In order for a wooden post to serve as a support for a long time and does not require repair, you just need to follow a few correct steps when installing it.Only seven correct steps ...

We gathered at the dacha to put new windows and now they are tormented by doubts about what to choose, wood or plastic? What is more important to you - price, environmental friendliness or appearance? In this article, we will talk about the pros and cons of wooden and plastic windows and which windows you should still choose if you are starting a renovation in the country.

If everything is relatively clear with the roof, since it visibly protects the building from precipitation, then with the foundation area, judging by the attitude of some builders, the situation is different. Casting something that looks more like a mini-skirt 50-70 cm wide, such "builders" miss a very important condition - the durability and strength of the foundation.

During the period of active development of the dacha when performing excavation or repair work, one of the most effective and necessary tools of the summer resident is a garden drill. With its help, you can quickly make bases for pillars, for a columnar foundation. And the pits for planting trees are easier to first go through with a drill, and only then expand with a shovel.

In my articles on how to build a barn with your own hands, without resorting to the help of hired workers, I mentioned the design of simple and lightweight construction goats. Such goats can be moved by one person, and they are simply irreplaceable when working at a height above 2 meters, as well as repair work on the facade of a country house.

An absolutely necessary device at every summer cottage and you can't argue with that. How to make a simple, reliable version of goats for cutting firewood and building lumber, we will consider in this article. Photos and drawings are attached.
We read the details.

To repair the old floor, I chose a rather economical way, namely, in place of the dismantled old logs and floorboards, to make a dry floor screed from sand. On which you can lay sheets of chipboard and linoleum. Maybe this idea will come in handy for someone and will be useful for repairs in the country. Details and photos in the article.

At the dacha, not only the plot, but also the house will require your attention, investment of time, money and effort. Timely repairs will save you from more serious problems in the future.

You cannot avoid sealing gaps and cracks in a country house. But each material will require its own, individual approach. Familiarize yourself with basic termination techniques before planning the amount of repair work.

It is best to seal cracks and gaps around window frames, door frames with polyurethane foam, and top up with plaster.

It is better to insulate the holes between the logs in a wooden house with jute, tow or a special wood sealant.
The gap between the wall and the ceiling, cracks in the plaster must not only be primed and putty, but also “fix” the treatment with a serpyanka, a special tape for sealing joints.

Veranda and corridor - not only a visiting card of a country house. They also perform a lot of additional functions. In hot and cold weather, they prevent the penetration of heat or cold air into the interior. They serve as a kind of sanitary zone for insects trying to get into living quarters.

Take care of the tightness of these rooms. Treat doors and windows, seal and carefully seal cracks in the walls, roof and ceiling. It is best to do this in the fall, especially if you do not plan to stay in the country during the winter.

What would be the room under kitchen whether you have used - a separate extension or an interior room - carefully choose the choice of materials for decoration. Constant humidity, high temperatures, frequent washing require high performance and moisture resistance from them.

In the spring, with the arrival of heat, it is necessary to treat the room with agents against fungus and mold. Do not forget to remove insects with insecticides.

Touch up chips and crevices on all surfaces. Over time, moisture and dirt will clog in them, and you can forget about basic hygiene during cooking.

I would also like to say a few words about hearth... If you do not use electric or gas stoves, but have equipped your kitchen with a real stove, take care of cleaning the chimney. This should be done regularly. It is advisable to clean (or at least inspect) the furnace communications after a long inactivity of the hearth. Smoke can be caused not only by soot accumulated in the chimney, but also by a foreign object that accidentally got into the chimney.

Change or not change the finish rooms, you decide. But even these premises require annual cosmetic and preventive treatment.

To protect the walls from mold and mildew, they need to be whitewashed every year. Wooden surfaces - varnished and treated with special protective agents that increase their service life.

The walls sheathed with plastic clapboard look quite aesthetically pleasing. In addition, such a finish will not require large material and physical costs from you. But it is quite difficult to care for such surfaces. In the gaps between the wall and the finishing material, not only will dust and dirt accumulate, but fungus may also appear. It is also quite problematic to find out about the absence of cracks and cracks on the walls. Therefore, give preference to more environmentally friendly materials for wall decoration (especially living quarters).

For most summer residents, a land plot with buildings is a place for farming, growing and collecting environmentally friendly products, for recreation. In addition, the suburban area is the embodiment of interesting and original ideas that cannot be realized in an apartment.

Many summer residents want to do something unusual at the dacha, which can be bragged to friends, relatives, acquaintances. They are happy to make crafts at their summer cottage, perform work with metal and wood, old furniture, plastic bottles, tires, snags, and various objects.

I propose to take an excursion to the dacha of our reader Lyudmila and get some useful ideas for budget repairs.
Everything is very simple and affordable, at least the self-made woman turned out nicely and cheaply.

Nowadays, frescoes are often used, but they have a disadvantage - they are expensive, and the larger the fresco, the more expensive it is. Lyudmila uses ordinary photowall-paper, but makes a bar at the joints.

If the joints are also horizontally separated and them - you get a false window. It can be seen that one wall is a block house, the rest is budget frescoes. As a result, Lyudmila made one country room in an eco-style, resulting in an owl-shaped veranda.

The next idea is how to make summer cottage repairs quickly and on a budget, and even without dirt.

Needed
— wallpaper
- and ceiling panels,
- more glue
- and a construction stapler.

True, the ceiling should be wooden - we carefully attach the wallpaper to it with a stapler. And of course the ceiling panels are glued.

At the same time, you can combine wallpaper and panels in different ways. In the photo below, there are different options that Lyudmila tried.

From the remnants of wallpaper, wonderful passports for paintings of all sizes are obtained.

The room at the dacha is quite large, Lyudmila divided it into zones, it turned out four, all around the stove.

Divided by color and ceiling - half pink, wallpaper on a stapler, ceiling tiles.Finishing - glue moldings.

I painted the boring lining with such stripes, on the stapler-strips of braid. The dark corner is just a shadow.

Further it is clear - photowall-paper, the window sill - a board with self-adhesive. Here's a sleeping area.

She covered the cabinets with a transparent curtain, by the way, also old summer cottage rubbish after painting.

A slightly different version of the ceiling design, i.e. On the contrary - first the tiles and then the wallpaper on the stapler, trim moldings, close the joints and emphasize the length of the room.

I closed the whole boring lining, the cornices are also moldings.

What to do with the remnants of wallpaper - a passport for paintings of different sizes, the walls are also different, all the wallpaper is on a stapler. Finishing the rest of the braid, here is a seating area, removed the wall, opened the entire space, but separated it with a curtain made of artificial hanging - leaves.

Double doors, simple solid and glass, I also found doors in the store, It turned out they have a lot of marriage and they gave it for a thousand, but of course I chose.

Another option for using leftover wallpaper.

One word - Dacha For Rest.

We go further - we marked the railings and forgot about them. Again, the remains of wallpaper on the stapler - passport for paintings and artificial greenery, no need to water, the lining is not so boring.

Well, the stove has "disappeared", painted and refined in a gray color. She disappeared and ceased to attract attention.

On the other hand, the fireplace is a worker, only it is rarely used. Moldings and acrylic paint, this part of the oven does not heat up, covered with acrylic varnish.

These are the ideas offered by the craftswoman and this is in the country with a stove and a fireplace, which is already 25 years old ...
To skeptics, Lyudmila replies that this repair was already 8 years ago, we only actively use the stove, therefore it gets old, especially when it is cool.
