5 annoying mistakes during repairs that are noticeable, but too late

During repairs, especially global ones, people get tired and try to finish it as soon as possible. Due to haste, many annoying mistakes are made, which at first are imperceptible, and then appear in everyday life and greatly interfere.

Small battery under a large window

According to the project, the developers install small batteries under the windows, which look awkward and heat a small section of the room. It is better to replace them during repairs.

You need to buy a battery that will be larger than the window opening. The room will be heated more efficiently, which is especially important for a private house.

Error in the location of the plumbing hatch

Few people think about planning the interior of the bathroom to the smallest detail. They simply select a place for a bath, sink, washing machine, toilet, and also pay attention to the colors of the tiles and the protective screen. And only later, when there is a need to get to the pipes, the realization comes that they forgot to make the hatch.

It is better to think over in advance where the hatch door will be. It is needed in the area of the siphon under the sink and bathtub, at the location of the valves in the toilet, and if there is a jacuzzi, then also under it so that there is access to the motor.

Platbands nailed down

When installing doors, you should think not only about their appearance, but also about how to fix the platbands. Nailing is easiest, but the caps will be visible. And if you break them off, you will still see holes from the nail shaft.

Better to glue the platbands on liquid nails or polyurethane foam. This will make the doorway look neater.

Savings on storage systems

During the renovation, it seems that the cabinets are not needed, because they clutter up the already limited space. And in the end it turns out that there is nowhere to put toys, sports equipment, bedding.

The problem is easy to solve even before the repair is completed. If there really is nowhere to put the closet, you need to give preference to multifunctional furniture.

This is especially true of the kitchen, because there are always a lot of dishes and appliances, which would not hurt to remove from the countertop until it is needed.

Laying tiles before installing the bathroom

Many are trying to finish the arrangement of the walls and floor, lay the tiles, and then install the bath. This is the main mistake, because it will not be possible to press it against the tile without a gap, and water will flow there, and a fungus will appear.

Repair is tiring, but it's better to do everything deliberately once than to try to fix mistakes later.
