Usually, when buying a country house on the secondary market, old furniture also remains from the old owners, the fate of which is lost in the garbage heap or burned at the stake.

If everything is relatively clear with the roof, since it apparently protects the building from precipitation, then with the blind area of ​​​​the foundation, 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 for a summer resident is a garden drill. With it, you can quickly make bases for pillars, for a columnar foundation. And it’s easier to go through holes for planting trees first with a drill, and only then widen them with a shovel.

A country house is not always a real residential building, designed for any season and any weather. It can be uninsulated, small. But still, a country house is a dwelling, and it should provide at least minimal comfort. This is possible only if it is warm, dry, clean, does not bleed or drip. And in order for it to be so, you need to have at least a good roof, a dry floor and reliable walls. What to do if just the walls are imperfect? In this article we will tell you everything about the repair of the walls of country houses outside and inside.

There is a huge difference - to repair the walls of a country house inside or outside. Internal repairs can be carried out, in fact, at any time of the year and in any weather, especially if you have a heated house. As for outdoor repairs, it is extremely important not to make a mistake with the weather. Winter cold or high humidity in the off-season are not the best conditions for outdoor work on country walls.

Firstly, because any exterior wall coverings, such as paint, plaster, etc., have poor contact with the surface, poorly set and harden in adverse conditions. Paint the wall in sub-zero temperatures, and in the spring all the paint will run off with the first May downpour. Or fall off immediately with a layer of plaster. Do you need it?

Secondly, any interference with the wall mass in conditions of humidity and cold can cause dampness to penetrate the wall. This is fraught with the appearance of mold, fungus. In the event that the repair of the wall of the house in the country is carried out in the rain, and after that the temperature drops below zero, the resulting ice crystals can violate the integrity of the wall. All this leads to erosion and destruction of the wall. This is especially true if your country walls are made of wood and wood materials or simply old and dilapidated.

Restoration of the walls of the cottage

It is not uncommon for a situation where it is required to practically restore the walls in the country. This often happens with old country houses. But it may also be that when building a country house, you did not strive to create a truly reliable structure. Either they didn’t use the most suitable materials, for example, they laid the walls in 1 brick, and then sheathed them with plywood or sheet iron, or they built them on the principle of a “collective farm frame structure” - strapping from curved logs from a neighboring planting and sheathing from assorted boards, plywood, fiberboard . Or they did not provide a high-quality external coating that would protect the walls of the country house from bad weather. Or they didn’t take care of a quality foundation, and the walls began to collapse from below. With any of the options, a situation may arise when the walls need to be completely rebuilt. How to act in such a situation?

If the walls can technically be repaired, of course, it is better to restore them. The most common technique can be considered the option with lining the walls with bricks. In this case, before you begin to perform brickwork, it is necessary to dry the existing walls with high quality and treat them from the outside with high-quality antiseptic and protective material. For wooden walls, this can be drying oil, for stone and block walls - special impregnation. The point is that there is no rotting between the new masonry and the old walls, which can lead the house to complete disrepair in the near future. At the same stage, it is worth considering whether it is worthwhile to insulate the walls of a country house by laying a layer of insulation between the old wall and the new layer of masonry?

But it happens that the walls have to be demolished, and then the question is different. If we are talking about 2-3 or all the walls, is it not easier to build a new country house? If only about one wall, of course, you can save the country house and repair a specific wall of the house in the country. In this case, be sure to provide high-quality support for the roof and other walls, so that during the demolition of the dacha wall that has become unusable, the entire house does not collapse.

Repair of cracks in country walls

For brick walls of country houses or walls made of blocks, the situation with the formation of cracks is common. Such a risk is especially high for houses with poor-quality foundations or those built in violation of technology - using poor-quality mortar, without the use of reinforcement, with large wall deviations from the vertical plane, etc. How to fix a crack in the wall of a house?

The easiest and most obvious, at first glance, way is to fill the crack with mortar or plaster. However, this is not the right way, because. you will not eliminate the cause of the crack in this way, and in the near future - with the next temperature or humidity drop - the crack may appear again. The correct approach is to first exclude the possibility of further formation of cracks, secondly to cover up the crack for its heat, water and wind insulation, and then finish the walls of the country house.

A crack can form for various reasons. The most common is subsidence of the foundation. In this case, “raising the corner” of the house with a jack will help. Bring the walls to the desired height, fix them, and then fill the gap and make cosmetic repairs. But in this, and in any other situations - for example, when a wall cracks due to poor-quality building materials, it is important to exclude the possibility of further cracking. The easiest way to do this is to tie a crack. This can be done by running several metal plates perpendicular to the crack, which will be fixed with heavy bolts screwed into the wall on either side of the crack.

Finishing the cottage: 4 budget ideas 2 times cheaper than usual

Rednasty

Dacha is a truly cozy place where you want to return again and again!

In our reality, large investments in the repair of summer cottages look quite unproductive. On the one hand, is it worth spending a lot on furnishing a home in which we spend several months at most? On the other hand, no one cancels the quite reasonable desire for a cozy place in their “country estate”.

Finishing a country house can look simple and neat

If you are interested in simple materials and budget solutions that can ennoble and decorate your dacha, then this article is definitely for you. In it, I will analyze the main inexpensive ways of wall cladding and share several creative options for creating an original country interior.

Sheathing options

Today, the construction market offers many variations and a variety of materials that are ideal for finishing a country house. Among the rather impressive list, you can pick up something according to the preferences of the owner of the house and his financial capabilities.

clapboard

Lining is rightfully considered one of the most popular materials used for arranging summer cottages. The advantages of the panels speak for themselves. This is:

Natural and aesthetic material - a godsend for framing a country house

• their pleasant aesthetic appearance, allowing you to imitate a variety of textures;
• affordable cost;
• high thermal insulation performance;
• ease of installation, which can be handled even without much experience in repair work;
• environmental friendliness of the material.

The interior decoration of a country house with clapboard is a great idea for those who value comfort and coziness above all else. By experimenting with textures and shades, owners will have a chance to create an unforgettable interior without spending a fortune.

The lining will decorate not only the rooms, but also the facade of the house

What should be considered during the installation process?

1. A high-quality finish is possible only when using a wooden crate as a base.
2. If you want to insulate the walls of the house, you can put mineral wool, glass wool or expanded polystyrene into the frame.
3. Wooden slats for the base should be fixed either with nails or self-tapping screws.

Without a frame, the installation of lining panels will be inferior

I also want to note that lining can be a very inexpensive and practical answer to the question of how to decorate a change house for a country house.

Change houses trimmed with clapboard

Drywall

Drywall in popularity is not much inferior to lining. This is a versatile material used both for leveling walls or arranging interior partitions, and for decorating window slopes.

Drywall is universal, it can be used for facing almost any surface.

Drywall installation instructions are as follows:

1. The first step is to create a frame of metal or wooden slats. They are fixed to the wall with screws or self-tapping screws at a distance of 40-50 cm from each other.

Lathing for mounting GKL on the ceiling

1. After that, plasterboard plates are attached to the frame. The joints between the sheets are sealed with putty, then primed.

Brief instructions for puttying plasterboard joints

1. After about 6-8 hours (that's how much it takes to dry the primer), you can proceed to pasting or painting the walls.

Now you can decorate the room

Plywood

That's really what is fully consistent with the well-known phrase "cheap and cheerful." If you are thinking about how to decorate the walls to make it as budget-friendly as possible, then plywood will come in handy. Such material allows the walls to “breathe”, it has good water resistance (so it can be used for lining the bathroom) and sound insulation.

Even plywood can look quite interesting

In addition to such impressive advantages, I will attribute easy installation with my own hands, which can be handled by people who have never done repairs before. As a finishing touch, plywood can either be painted with bright paint or wallpapered over.

Plywood trim? Why not!

How to combine fantasy with lack of money?

Above, I examined the main finishing materials that accompany inexpensive repairs in the country. They will help to put the house in order, and they will solve the problem with light insulation. But what to do when the soul demands the continuation of the banquet and wants something beautiful in a small country house?

Not always a beautiful interior requires a lot of money

I will tell you how interesting it is to decorate a country house, while spending a minimum of money.

Idea 1. The whole world in colors

Considering the most popular options for decorating a room, it's hard not to mention the paint. This is one of the easiest ways to update the interior, which also allows you to experiment with colors and shades, is in great demand around the world. What do future painters-artists need to know?

Paint is one of the easiest ways to bring decor to life.

We paint a tree or lining

1. If you want to give a rich color to a wooden surface or lining, but leave them with an interesting texture, get a translucent paint.

painted surface

1. Exterior finishes should be decorated only with elastic paints that are not afraid of temperature changes (alkyd, oil). Inside the room can be painted with water-dispersed or water-based compositions. It makes sense to use more expensive silicate or silicone paints only in conditions of very high humidity.

In the photo - an example when the paint only emphasizes the richness of the texture

1. Wall decoration inside before painting should be well primed, thanks to this, paint consumption will be significantly reduced.
2. If after the winter there is a strong feeling of dampness in the house, do not rush to wield a brush or roller. To begin with, you should thoroughly dry the room (with a building hair dryer or a heat gun, for example).

Paint only dry walls

1. Definitely you should not even try to paint over places where foci of rot and mold are firmly entrenched. Believe me, after the repair work, the fungus will simply continue to destroy the coating. So first get rid of the mold, dry the surface, sand it with sandpaper, treat it with an antiseptic and only then paint it.

Save yourself a little time and do everything as required. Believe me, the result will be worth it.

You need to get rid of the mold, and then you can proceed to the finish

We paint plaster or drywall

To give plastered or plasterboard walls a more sophisticated look, you can use acrylic water-based paint.

Acrylic-based water-based composition

• For better adhesion of paint to the surface, do not spare the primer. In extreme cases (but only in the most extreme), you can use a soapy solution instead, which needs to remove grease and dust from the walls. But still, try to get a primer - with it the result will be more effective and reliable.

Painted plaster looks more than interesting

• If there are small cracks on the surface and there is no plaster, it is worth resorting to the help of paint with a latex filler. It can hide cracks up to 2 mm in size.
• Do not be afraid of the most "impractical" color in the interior - white. Firstly, white paint is the cheapest, and secondly, any object will look bright and stylish on a light background. In addition, it will contribute to the visual increase in the room.

Don't be afraid to use white trim

Idea 2. Wallpaper to be or not to be?

Wallpaper in the country is not only not uncommon, but the most popular type of decor. How to deal with them in the process of repair? I'll consider two possible options:

Wallpaper is a popular way to decorate rooms

1. When the old wallpaper began to peel off a little - do not rush to tear them off (unless you definitely decided to change the situation). If they peel off in whole canvases, then there is nothing to do, and you will have to remove everything and glue new ones. In the case when the canvas peels off only at the joints and in the corners, it is better to just carefully glue everything.

Think twice before peeling off old wallpaper: perhaps in a couple of years their pattern will be in trend

To keep the canvas stronger, add ordinary PVA glue to the wallpaper glue (in a ratio of 1 to 6).

1. You have long decided to change the annoying pattern, only in some areas the wallpaper stuck as if tightly. Through a piece of wet fabric, run an iron over them, so the material will be easier to remove.

Bad wallpaper? An iron will help in this matter!

For those who are thinking about wallpapering in a country house, I will suggest a few tricks to save money:

• look in the pantry for the wallpaper left over from the last repair (some trimmings will definitely remain), ask relatives and friends about the same. As a result, you will be able to collect material for the original patchwork decor. Paste the wall in the room with scraps with different patterns and enjoy the unusual result;

Patchwork-style wallpaper will become a bright spot in the interior of the cottage

It seems to me that it is better to save the patchwork decor for the 2nd floor, on the first floor you can experiment with painting

Thus, you can decorate only one wall, otherwise it will come out too colorful. For others, painting or wallpaper in neutral shades is fine.

Wallpaper can be combined in different ways

• most often in specialized stores you can find baskets with the so-called "sale" wallpaper, left over from unsold collections of one or two rolls. The price of their much standard range, you just have to pick up and combine several models in color and texture;

From the remaining unsold rolls, you can create good combinations

• interior decoration of a country house is primarily associated with the cheapest paper wallpaper. Well, for one or two seasons, they will fit the wave. After the allotted time, their appearance will be far from the original.

I would still advise you to resort to the help of two-layer paper wallpapers - the difference in price is not so noticeable, but they last longer.

To save money, do not choose wallpaper with a large pattern. Due to the fact that you have to adjust the details of the picture, there will be more waste. The ideal option is a small abstract pattern.

Pleasant cottage interior

Idea 3. Not Italian, but still tiles

Tile is another worthy material for budget repairs. I'm not talking about Italian ceramics, there are many cheaper examples in stores. Again, you have at least 2 options:

And again, already familiar patchwork, but now from tiles

• buy the required number of tiles and decorate the kitchen or even the summer shower inside with it;
• again, scrape through the barrel and decorate the selected surface in the patchwork style from the remains found.

Outside bathroom decoration

Idea 4. Reminder from the past - wall newspaper

An even cheaper replacement for wallpaper can be (so you think) ordinary newspaper strips. Glue them like a regular paper coating, and open them with varnish on top. The main advantage of this option is that over time it will look even more interesting and atmospheric.

Why not newspapers?

Geography on the walls

By the same principle, you can use old geographical maps or book pages (although I don’t approve of the second option).

Additional options

If you think that I have finished listing all sorts of inexpensive ways to design a summer residence, then you are mistaken. I have a few more interesting ideas left in my head:

1. Perforated convenience. A couple of perforated metal sheets are a great way to conveniently store pans and knives in the country. If at the same time they also close the bumps on the wall, so much the better.

Hooks, perforated metal sheet - and a place to store pans is ready

1. We don't throw away boxes. A few old drawers attached to the wall can create a fairly roomy and comfortable shelving unit. Both practical and useful for decoration!
2. Nowhere without textiles. Another simple way to hide flaws in wall decoration is to cover it with a large panel of beautiful fabric, felt or cork roll (depending on what you find in the pantry).

If flaws cannot be fixed, they can be hidden

I tried to find for you the most interesting and inexpensive options for arranging a summer house, even more ideas are contained in the video in this article.

Afterword

If you have a crisis of ideas, and you don’t know how to decorate the walls in the country, then I hope my article will be useful to you. I gave an example of the main finishing materials used to equip a country house, and suggested several ways to decorate it.

A beautiful interior can be not only in city apartments, but also in the country

Finishing an economy class country house inside

The interior decoration of the house has some differences from the renovation of the apartment. The volume of work is more impressive, and the action plan must be thought out in advance. At the same time, it is important to choose the right finishing materials and observe the technology of work.

If you decide to decorate the interior of your country house, you should get acquainted with some tips from professional builders, as well as see photos of the finished work. If you perform a harmonious combination of materials, the interior decoration of a country house will give the room comfort. A photo of finishing a country house inside an economy class will help solve the problem of choosing the style and materials for facing various surfaces.

Popular materials

Finishing wall coverings are installed after communication networks have been laid, as well as after surface insulation. It is worth choosing a specific material only taking into account such characteristics:

• available budget;
• building type;
• purpose of the room.

Such factors should be considered before starting wall decoration.

You can decorate the walls in a private house with several materials. There are many popular options, each of which has a lot of advantages. Most often, for finishing the walls of a building, they use:

• wood;
• PVC panels;
• wallpaper - you can save a lot on such material;
• ceramic tile;
• decorative plaster.

It is worth considering each material in more detail.

Wood

Quite often, summer residents completely sheathe the walls with clapboard. This material is relatively inexpensive and easy to install. When installing the lining in the room, a special comfort is created. In addition to this type of wall decoration with wood, a block house or imitation of timber is often used.

It seems to many owners of private houses that when cladding walls using wood, the interior will take on a monotonous look. However, this can be called a myth. There are many techniques that allow you to combine this material with other types of finishes. Sheathing can be carried out in different directions. In addition, the walls can be painted.

PVC panels

This wall decoration option is ideal for economy class repairs. The cost of such a solution is quite small. Such coverage is inexpensive and practical. It is quick to install and easy to clean. A large selection of colors allows you to find the perfect option for creating an original interior.

For example, such a material can perfectly imitate wood. When facing various surfaces with plastic panels, many problems are solved at once. The costs are minimal. When choosing this material, the surface must be leveled. As a result, the interior takes on a noble look.

Wall decoration with PVC panels that imitate a wooden board can be combined with vintage-style furniture. It is better to choose such material if it is necessary to finish the summer cottage. This is due to the fact that the material is quite fragile. In addition, it does not provide the required level of thermal insulation.

Decorative plaster

High-quality, but expensive material is used for interior decoration. Thanks to the use of decorative plaster, the surface of the walls is visually leveled. At the same time, small defects are hidden, and the wall can be painted in any shade. In addition, a rather unusual texture is obtained. Caring for walls lined with decorative plaster is quite simple. It can be used for rooms with high humidity.

Wallpaper

This type of wall decoration is traditional. It is in demand not only among the owners of city apartments, but also among the owners of cottages and summer cottages. Wallpaper can be selected for every taste, which opens up wide opportunities for creating an original design. However, after several years of operation, the wall cladding will have to be completely changed.

If the room is unheated, it is better not to glue the wallpaper. They can deteriorate after six months. This is due to the temperature difference and the dampness of the walls. As a result of such influences, bubbles appear on the wallpaper. Therefore, it is better to glue wallpaper in rooms with working heating.

You should also remember about the possible decoration of the walls with bamboo wallpaper. Such material is rather unusual. It consists of thin pieces of bamboo that are placed on a fabric base. These wallpapers are very easy to clean. In addition, they do not lose brightness, are resistant to mechanical damage. They are often used to decorate the kitchen and hallway. Bamboo wallpapers are expensive and difficult to install.

Ceramic tile

It is more practical to design a kitchen apron and a bathroom using ceramic tiles. You can highlight certain parts of the room, focusing on them with the help of mosaics. If all the walls are completely covered with tiles, the room will look uncomfortable.

Ceiling materials

If the attic room is combined with a residential area, it must be reliably insulated, and the roof must be protected from leaks. This will create a cozy space.

Wood

Both the walls and the ceiling can be finished with an imitation of timber, clapboard or block house. There are also quite interesting combinations. There are various combinations. For example, you can finish the ceiling with clapboard, and the walls with a block house. In some interiors, the ceiling is finished with wood, and the walls with other material.

Drywall

Such material is quite quick and easy to mount on various surfaces. When using drywall, the walls and ceiling can be aligned perfectly. It is possible to create multi-level steps and bends of different shapes. By choosing this material, you can save a lot.

Stretch ceiling

When using a tension structure, ceiling repairs are carried out almost instantly. Some companies begin work on finishing the ceiling in this way already 2 days after the receipt of the order.

The surface of the ceiling is perfectly smooth. Thanks to this solution, you can successfully hide communications. Stretch ceilings are becoming increasingly popular. An interesting option is obtained, in which stretch ceilings and drywall are combined.

The choice of flooring

There are many materials used for flooring. Among them, the most popular are wood, ceramic tiles, laminate, linoleum, carpet. Each material needs special care. Features of the operation of different surfaces must be known even before going to the hardware store. With this approach to the choice of coverage, you can save a lot.

Wood

In a private house, such material can be used as flooring. They are ideal for floor surfaces. The tree is able to retain heat, has high aesthetic properties and environmental friendliness. In the case of a budget finish, the choice falls on ordinary boards. With proper preparation and installation, they are able to preserve the “naturalness” of the interior and last for many decades.

A more expensive option is parquet board. It is characterized by increased strength and visual appeal. However, even such material has to be treated with protective compounds. This measure is mandatory. Many owners of country houses save on repairs by choosing wood.

Laminate

In private houses that are designed for all-season living, laminate is often installed. It is available in a variety of colors and textures. For this reason, you can find a suitable option for your home. Many owners of private structures resort to the installation of this flooring.

Ceramic tile

This material is commonly used for finishing floor surfaces in bathrooms and hallways. Quite often, tiles are used for residential premises. On the market you can find a variant of ceramic tiles made "under the tree." When choosing this finish option, the floor is as durable as possible.

If you lay a warm floor system under such a tile, you get a rather practical coating. Outwardly, it will resemble a parquet board. In terms of strength and durability, such a floor is not inferior to high-quality wood.

carpet

Such a coating is often used for finishing floors in heated houses in which people permanently live. If you install carpet in unheated rooms, it will become damp and rot. Carpet attracts the attention of rodents.

Linoleum

Such a coating is inexpensive, but practical. Today, there are many options for such a material with a variety of visual finishes. However, a heating system cannot be laid under such a floor. Linoleum, which imitates parquet, will harmoniously fit into a classic interior. If you choose linoleum, you can save a lot on floor repairs.

Finishing different rooms

When choosing a material for a particular room, it is worth considering its purpose. There are a few tips to keep in mind when creating high-quality flooring:

• For rooms in which humidity is high, you should choose coatings that are resistant to moisture. They must be well washed.
• For residential premises, the construction market has a large selection of materials. You can choose products for the living room, bedroom, nursery or hallway.
• Floor coverings should be chosen in the same way - for rooms with high humidity - resistant to damage and moisture.

Such features must be taken into account when choosing a coating for the ceiling, walls and floor. If you choose the right materials for various coatings, you will save money on home repairs.

findings

Interior decoration is carried out not only taking into account the purpose of various rooms, but also the cost of various materials. The internal lining of various surfaces is a rather laborious and lengthy process. The choice of material for finishing a country house must be carried out taking into account the characteristics and properties of various types of coating.

Everything is very simple and affordable, at least the homemade one turned out beautifully and cheaply.

Now frescoes are often used, but they have a drawback - they are expensive, and the larger the fresco, the more expensive it is. Lyudmila uses ordinary photo wallpapers, but she makes a plank at the joints.

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

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

Need - wallpapers

And ceiling panels, - more glue - and a construction stapler. True, the ceiling should be wooden - we carefully attach wallpaper to it with a stapler. And the ceiling panels are of course on glue. At the same time, you can combine wallpaper and panels in different ways. In the photo below, different options that Lyudmila tried.

From the remnants of wallpaper, wonderful passports are obtained for paintings of any size. The room in 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 - moldings on glue.

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

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

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

She closed the entire boring lining, 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 remnants of the braid, here is a recreation area, removed the wall, opened the whole space, but separated it with a curtain of artificial hangings - leaves.

The doors are double, simple solid and glass, I also found doors in the store, It turned out that they had a lot of marriage left and gave it away for a thousand, but of course I chose.

Another option is to use leftover wallpaper.

One word - Dacha For Rest.

Well, the stove "disappeared", painted and ennobled in gray. She disappeared and stopped attracting attention.

On the other hand, the fireplace is working, 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 the craftswoman offers and this is in the country with a stove and a fireplace that are already 25 years old ...

Lyudmila replies to skeptics that this repair has already been worth 8 years ago, we only actively use the stove, which is why it gets old, especially when it's cool.

DIY crafts from improvised means for giving at home

Sometimes, even the most beautiful, comfortable, practical and well-groomed cottage needs repair. This applies not only to the main buildings, but also to landscape design, and therefore today we would like to raise a serious topic and talk about how to carry out repairs in the country and put the territory in order.

Every summer resident must understand that the house and the entire surrounding area is a serious responsibility and many hours of painstaking work. Even those people who buy a house and a plot not for growing vegetables for seaming, but for cheerful evening gatherings in nature, should from time to time put their property in order, because time takes its toll, and everything tends to deteriorate, decay, take not very nice view, and therefore, simply die.

In order to improve the situation on our own, we decided to make a short review, where we want to remind you of the work that is required in the country. Of course, it is not necessary to do turnkey repairs every year, but it would not hurt to keep everything in working, acceptable and good condition.

Do-it-yourself repair of a country house

We are used to saving on everything, and this is not an indicator of stinginess, but only practicality, because there are a lot of expenses in the country, and it would be right to minimize them, especially since working with our hands is always more interesting than getting ready-made.

Veranda repair

The veranda, the corridor and the entrance hall are the rooms that meet us in the house. At the same time, they are a kind of cutters of summer heat, winter cold, and even flies, which can be quickly driven out of the room so that they do not go further into the house. Therefore, we believe that everything here should always be in perfect order. First of all, it is required to produce, process doors and windows in order to create tightness and prevent drafts from entering the house. Further, the floor and ceiling, and, accordingly, the roof of the veranda. We will not talk about the design, because each of us has a different taste.

Country kitchen renovation

In the kitchen, the stove must constantly work, water should flow, evaporation and temperature changes should occur, which must also be consistent with finishing materials. Here they can become unusable even faster than in other rooms. Therefore, as soon as it becomes warm in the country house, it is necessary to carry out the prevention of mold and fungus, infections and insects, tint surfaces, twist cabinets, tables and chairs. It is very important to monitor the sewerage, plumbing, electricity, because communications and even more so, everything should be in order.

Of course, there can be very different options, for example, not an electric stove, but a gas one, or even a heating stove where soot cleaning will be necessary, or maybe it’s a summer kitchen in general, where sometimes repair of a brick stove in the country or even a leaking roof is required. Therefore, be attentive to the nuances.

Bedroom and living room renovation

There are no special requirements here, except for those that you yourself set for these premises. Therefore, simply carry out cosmetics and preventive maintenance annually, putty cracks, whiten or paint walls, varnish wood trim, try to protect the wood from which the furniture is made, as well as other equipment and decoration materials.

Repair work inside is over, and therefore we go outside and carefully examine the house and other buildings.

Renovation of a country house outside

Going out into the street, you can notice a lot of defects that our country house building needs to be corrected. It seems to us that each of them needs to be eliminated as money comes in and according to the freedom of time, but it’s not worth delaying either, because many serious elements of the dacha simply cannot be launched.

Repair of the foundation of the cottage

Be sure to pay attention to the foundation, because this is really the most important element of the building, on which the whole house rests. The foundation must be solid, well-plastered, without cracks, so as not to let in moisture and not deteriorate. In addition, it must be protected by special impregnation or materials. In more serious and expensive buildings, natural or artificial stone can play this role, but sometimes resin or bitumen will help, which can even process the entire base.

Repair of the roof of the cottage

Every warm season, pay attention to the roof, because it doesn’t matter that the roof of the building is slate, tile or ondulin, the main thing is that it is solid. You can specifically wait for the rain and see where the roof is leaking and, even if there are no leaks, repairs may be needed. The reason is that not all roofing material survives the summer calmly, and it is better to replace defective, beaten or broken ones immediately.

Repair of walls in the country

• If you need to repair a wooden cottage from the outside, try to insulate the facades at the same time. First, preparatory work and processing with protective compounds, then insulation and insulating film according to requirements, then finishing or special facade panels,.
• If it is necessary to repair a cottage with brick walls, you can use the same method and algorithm, just choose a more suitable material.
• The repair of the old dacha must be carried out strictly according to the technology by which it was built, because it is quite real that the house is an old hut, where clay and even manure will need to be used.

Insulation of a country house is always good, the main thing is not to forget in this process to repair the walls that have cracked or peeled off.

Repair of country communications

• At this stage, you should study the electrician well, check for dangerous bare wires, replace some cables, switches, circuit breakers, and so on.
• An audit of the water supply in the country house will not hurt either, perhaps it is necessary in the country house, repair of pumping stations, replacement of taps or even pipes.
• Undoubtedly, at this stage, it is worth taking care of the sewerage in the country house, cleaning it, draining the sewage pit, and checking the septic tank.
• Try to link heating in the country to these works, because it is much easier to make minor repairs and preventive maintenance in the warm season than to be nervous when it is already cold in the house and nothing works stably.

It is imperative to carry out any such repairs in complete safety, for example, with the power supply turned off, water, and so on.

Having figured out how to make a major overhaul in the country or just tweak everything to working condition, you can move from home to the landscape and surrounding areas. Of course, we forgot to talk about many buildings, such as sheds, summer kitchens, temporary huts and garages, but in fact, this is the same minor repair in the country house or a larger one, because all buildings are almost identical, they have walls, a roof, a floor and interiors ... Don't worry, we will definitely touch on something from the list.

Country yard: repair, fixes, updates

Agree, after the repair of floors, stoves and roofs in the country house, after revision and amendments to communications, as well as additional work on insulation and some internal retrofitting of the country house, the most original ideas for repairing the country house arise. But now is not the time to be distracted, because we still have time to arrange original and useful ideas for giving, such as a firewood shed or a playground, but the repair of the summer cottage is not waiting.

Fence repair in the country

The fence of the cottage should always be of high quality and reliable, and a rusty metal fence or a picket fence tilted from old age is not the case. We pick up a tool and put things in order, and be sure to protect it from atmospheric phenomena with special compounds, well, at least with simple paint.

Of course, you can always put a new fence in the country, if the old one can no longer be considered a worthy fence, but if the budget is not designed for this, then you can simply restore it.

A gazebo, a greenhouse and a barn ... minor repairs to buildings

Of course, we agreed to devote maximum time to the house and the territory, but these buildings were also given to us with sweat and blood, so that it would be so easy to take them and leave them to chance. No, no, this will not happen, and therefore we bring everything in order.

• We clean the gazebo from moisture, open it with varnish or stain and varnish, check the roof for leaks.
• We definitely prepare the greenhouse for the new season or we repair it during the summer. A good roof, tightness, stable temperature and humidity, lighting, shelves and pots - everything must be of high quality and reliable, because the harvest we are all waiting for depends on it.
• The shed should be dried and ventilated, be sure to disinfect, even just whiten with lime from the inside and tint the doors and trim, be sure to review all country tools and equipment, and carry out preventive maintenance.
• The country shower should be sprinkled so that dirt from the water does not form under your feet, the plumbing is checked, and the watering can can be replaced if you forgot to remove it for the winter. Also, be sure to clean and wash the shower tank with a disinfectant solution.
• We think you can handle the toilet yourself, the main thing is not to forget that there is always light here and the doors are closed. Also, pay attention to whether the toilet was flooded with spring snow, perhaps an emergency cleaning of the toilet is needed.

You can update the interior of a country house without major repairs and construction. Change the finish, restore furniture, add textiles and decor - we tell you how easy it is to make cosmetic repairs in the country.

REPLACE OR COLOR THE FLOOR

The first thing to do is assess the condition of the flooring. Your next steps will depend on this. If you have a wooden floor in your country house and it does not creak or swell, the boards can be updated with varnish or paint. The white painted floor looks interesting - it immediately makes the interior of the premises fresher and more modern. If the flooring leaves something to be desired, you have no other option but to replace it. To give, choose wear-resistant and not capricious materials: laminate, linoleum - they can be put on the old floor if there are no large height differences.

UPGRADE THE WALLS

Walls are that part of the interior that is constantly in sight. Old peeling wallpaper or peeling paint is not the best setting for a country house, even if you only visit it on the weekends. Moreover, now the choice of materials is large: you can level and cover the surfaces with a new layer of resistant washable paint. Another option is to sew everything up with clapboard or imitation timber. Lovers of natural wood will leave the original texture and pattern of the material, and for those who prefer a more modern version, it is possible to tint the walls with varnish or paint.

PROTECT WET AREAS

In order not to make cosmetic repairs often, consider in advance the protection of wet areas in the kitchen and bathroom. Where you cook and wash dishes, you can not do without a kitchen apron - it will protect surfaces from splashes and exposure to hot air. In the bathroom, it is not necessary to tile all surfaces, as they do in apartments: just treat the wood with special antiseptics and anti-mold agents. And ventilate the room more often.

RENEW YOUR CEILING

You will rarely meet a multi-level plasterboard ceiling in the country house - yes, it is not needed there. It is better to pay attention to the lining, which can be painted in any color, and to the imitation of beams - with them the atmosphere of a country cottage will immediately appear in the house.

UPHOLSTER YOUR FURNITURE

Buying a complete set of furniture for the country is not always a good idea. Think about what items you can easily update by changing the upholstery: old sofas, armchairs will gain a second life if you put them in the hands of a professional. If such services are not included in your summer cottage renovation budget, pay attention to fabric covers for furniture. They are inexpensive, they are easy to wash, and they perform the task of updating a sofa or pouffe perfectly.
