If we build, buy, or rebuild it, we must also pay attention to regular maintenance; just because we painted our garden fence 20 years ago does not mean we will never notice it again. Times have changed dramatically, and there are many products, equipment, supplies, and gadgets on the market that, with a little skill, can help you take care of your home. Entire supermarket chains specialize in products for the home and garden. Everything from indoor furniture to outdoor supplies to building materials are available.
Bought an old house and it\’s time to renovate it? That is definitely not fun! Even if the repairs seem solvable at first, the end result may look completely different! It is only when the actual construction work begins that things that were not apparent at first glance gradually become clear. Old electrical wiring, water pipes half “overgrown” with limestone and waste? No comment. After the interior walls are stripped, we know in advance that at least one meter from the ground must be purifying plaster, unless the walls must be cut or insulated due to moisture. Windows. Plastic ones don\’t fit well in older properties, and wooden ones are out of our price range. In short, the budget that was valid at the beginning changes during the renovation, and at the end? See for yourself! And if you insist that the construction company stick to the budget? They will. They will make the repairs quickly, poorly, and with the cheapest materials.
Are you a handyman? Then you can cover some of the minor maintenance work with your own labor. However, there are limits. Always leave specialized work to a professional contractor! They know their job and can be trusted to do it. Simply building shelves is fine, but putting together new trusses or replacing wiring is not something anyone can do.
