Decoration Diary Encyclopedia records of concealed works in my home.

Background: I came to Hangzhou alone and studied hard for four years. I have no background, it doesn't matter, and I have no wife.

Familiar with classmates and friends, after four years, I have a house, a loan and troubles.

Rookie should strive for self-improvement in pure decoration national decoration diary competition

Decoration owner: post-80s ordinary diaosi

Decoration style: modern and simple

Decoration type: two rooms, two halls, one kitchen and one bathroom.

Decorative area: 89

Design requirements: simple, warm and have a certain storage space.

Decoration company specializing in this style: Hangzhou Guoxi Decoration Engineering Co., Ltd.

Then let's talk about some processes of the decoration company first:

1, first communicate with the designer about his house layout and cooperation mode (half-package, all-package). I said in the previous post that we should combine our own habits such as life and aesthetics;

2. After the layout is determined, the decoration company will make a decoration budget. If you are interested in this budget, this is what I mentioned in my fourth post. There are many concerns, such as whether the project is complete, defining the materials used and defining some basic process requirements; 3. When this budget is approved by you, the decoration company will ask you to pay a deposit and sign a "design power of attorney", which almost means that you have chosen this company;

3. After that, the designer will make construction drawings, including building structure, layout, floor layout, top layout, wall knocking, wall laying, light bitmap, switch layout, circuit diagram, bill of materials, elevation view of cabinets, cabinet structure diagram, TV background wall and other drawings that need special design, such as sofa background wall. Of course, it is to let workers know more about some special structures.

You should look at those drawings mentioned above. If you think you can't understand them, let the designer explain. If you don't know much about them, you just need to pay some money to let them produce renderings, so understanding ability is also money. After you approve these drawings, the decoration company can work out a detailed budget. Of course, this budget should not be much different from the previous budget without major changes, so that you can sign a "construction power of attorney" with the decoration company. At this point, your site is ready; 7. After completing the above procedures, you can make an appointment with the decoration company to start construction. If you can't officially start work that day, you can do a simple ceremony, that is, knock a hammer on the wall.

After completing the above process with the decoration company, you don't have to wait for the construction. You still have things to do, that is, go to the property to go through the construction procedures, bring your ID card, purchase contract, commercial housing junction, business license of decoration company, qualification certificate of decoration company, and knock on the wall. Remember to bring some cash when you go to handle it. The property will ask you to charge a cleaning fee for knocking on the wall, and you can entrust the property to the Housing Authority for approval (this will save time and reduce problem handling). The examination and approval fee is generally 400 yuan.

At this point, you started the endless troubles of decoration, hehe. Because my entrance door needs to be replaced and moved a little, I have to keep ordering new doors when I build the wall. My supervisor friend, I entrusted him to be the third party supervisor for this renovation, and he will control the whole process more. I learned half the knowledge from him.

Some experiences on hydropower engineering;

1, the wall plug should be suitable, and the place where electricity is likely to be used should be left on the wall, otherwise the plug will not be in place in the future, and there will be a patch panel at home, which will affect the appearance. For example, there will be two powerful plugs on both sides of my bedside, so I should not only consider the bedside lamp, but also consider charging my mobile phone or putting a pad on my bed, hehe;

2. It is also the problem of blocking the wall. Special places should be reserved, such as the back of the toilet. Maybe my smart toilet will be very cheap in the future. Under the kitchen basin, because the reverse osmosis water purifier is installed, it needs to be plugged in. On the shoe cabinet, some people like to put their mobile phones on the shoe cabinet to charge, and the master bedroom is equipped with a switch to control the TV blocking wall. After all, we can unplug the TV. It is often reported that it is good to cut off the TV power at the bedside.

3. Is it necessary to reserve audio cable? Our quality of life will improve in the future. Home theater has become very common. I think the requirements for a 5. 1 system are very low. Then there will be two surround sound systems on the sofa wall, so it is very important to embed the lines. Of course, there is also wireless reception now, and I am tuning it. Now, technically, wired effect is definitely far better than wireless.

4, there is air conditioning to consider, if there are not enough seats outside, you may want to consider doing central air conditioning, so the position of the ceiling should be set, and there will be problems with the woodworking ceiling in the future. The air conditioner on the ceiling should be selected as early as possible, because different models of machines will have internal machines of different sizes, which will be different from the aesthetics of the ceiling in the later stage;

5. Pay attention to our furniture when positioning, and don't be blocked by furniture after doing it; 6, to consider my visual center, the center point is to remove the furniture, remove the position of the curtain box.

When we plug in the slot, there are several small problems to pay attention to:

1. Generally, electricians will draw a horizontal datum line in the room, which is commonly known as the "one-meter line", that is, the horizontal position at a height of one meter. Of course, it is customarily marked as 0.9 m, 1.2 m, etc.

2. Our cassettes should be on the same horizontal plane with an error of not more than 5mm;

3. Generally, the bottom of our socket is 30cm from the ground, the switch is at 1.4- 1.5m, and the bedside table is at 0.5m. However, the specific situation should be arranged according to the actual situation, such as the kitchen should refer to the opinions of the cabinet company.

The master of water and electricity drew the location clearly, including the location of the trough.

4. Our slotting direction should be horizontal and vertical, not diagonal; The horizontal and vertical here refers to the trend. Many people think that the edge of the groove should be smooth. This understanding is wrong. Our groove edge is not as smooth as possible, but it is more appropriate to take Mao Kou as the center, which is more conducive to the later bricklayer's backfilling and the cement can be eaten more firmly. If it opens smoothly, masons will still chisel it.

5. This article may be a little different from the idea you see in the above picture, that is, it is suggested that the wall should be slotted mainly with vertical slots, and less with horizontal slots, especially load-bearing walls, because it will reduce the load-bearing capacity, but this depends on the actual situation and the inconvenience of electricians. For example, the cassette of a line in the above picture can be opened horizontally, or an old pipe can be used;

6. Our corner seat should have an oblique mouth, so that the conduit can be bent and not easily broken.

Matters needing attention in water pipe direction

1, water pipe (PPR pipe): Wei Xing white pipe, which is one of the pipes commonly used by decoration companies now, and you can call 400 people from Wei Xing company to collect it after you finish it, so there are relatively few fakes. I also made a request for water pipes, that is, all pipes should be six points. At present, the general practice is that the supervisor uses six points and the branch office uses four points. There is no special problem. I just made such a request, and everything will be better.

PS: There are many other brands of water pipes. Let me name a few: Pirza (there are many fakes on the market now, so it is not recommended to use them), Liansu (mainly used in Guangzhou and Guizhou), Jinde (commonly used in the north), Weishuibao (his nanotubes are very good and the price is very high), Jinniu (there are many advertisements recently) and so on. Water pipe joints are used to connect water pipes. All water parts at home are similar in price to water pipes, which are much smaller in size. It is necessary to prevent water parts from being replaced. There are generally two kinds of traps and elbows. One is the trap, which can prevent the odor from coming out and is used for floor drain and toilet flushing. The other is straight bend, which can't block off the odor, so it is used for basin launching, because the basin itself will have a hose to form a trap, and there are siphon toilet PVC downspouts, generally with 50, 75, 1 10 pipes, mainly including

There is also a flat tube for the displacement of the toilet, but the distance should not be too long, and it is best to control it within 80cm. If it's too long, I'll use the round tube of 1 10, but there will be problems with the ground elevation, so the toilet doesn't need to be moved on my construction site, so I found a picture of a flat tube on the Internet.

2. Conduit (PVC flame retardant tube): Wei Xing and conduit are commonly used in home decoration 16 tube and 20 tube, which are mainly selected according to the use of wires. Generally speaking, our threading capacity does not exceed 40%, so 16 pipes generally do not exceed 4 lines, and 20 pipes do not exceed 6 lines. The catheter also depends on its firmness and flame retardancy.

PS: Other brands of catheters, Jindun (average quality, cheap and affordable) and Cai Zhong (a little better than Jindun, a little more expensive, and similar to Wei Xing);

3. Wire: "Yongtong Brand" (produced in Qiandao Lake, Shen Yuan Road 19 1 of Hangzhou Cable Co., Ltd.), the most used brand in Hangzhou, is also relatively good. Here, let me help you sort out the differences and origins with other brands.

A long time ago, there was an electric wire factory called "Zhongce Yongtong", which was located atNo. 19 1 far from Shenyang Road. Then one day, a wire rod factory in Xiasha, Hangzhou, "snatched love in a horizontal knife" and registered "Zhongce" as its own brand. No brand awareness is terrible. From then on, the original factory can no longer be used. " From then on, in the Jianghu, "Zhongce" is "Zhongce" and "Yongtong Card" is "Yongtong Card", so we can no longer play happily together.

After this "bloody case", many "Zhongce Yongtong", "Yongtong Zhongce", "Hangzhou Yongtong Cable Co., Ltd." and "Yuanshen Nuo. * * "has emerged in the Jianghu, and all of them are muddling along in the name of" hero ". Everyone should keep their eyes open.

PS: Well, the story is over, and there are many other brands of wires. For example, the "Zhongce" in the story is ok, but it is not as good as the "Yongtong" brand. There are also pandas in Shanghai, which are quite good. The regional power lines are very strong, and every place has its own familiar brand.

There are two kinds of wires, one is BV wire, which is single-core with thick wires inside, and the other is BVR wire, which is multi-twisted. The BVR line of Yongtong brand has an anti-counterfeiting job, that is, the outermost dozen strands are wound inside.

Yongtong brand wire and its nameplate

The supervisor is checking the wires, and each coil is checked to see if there is any interruption in the wires. When the machine is winding, sometimes the winding is incomplete at one time, and there may be two sections, that is, four ends, which is allowed, but it will not work if there are more.

4. Weak lines: telephone line (Akihabara), TV line (Akihabara), network line (Ampanpu) and audio line (Akihabara).

PS: Akihabara is a better brand in China, and its price is also low. This is my additional replacement request. General decoration companies will choose to use "Zhongce" weak wires. Among them, I use AMP (Amp) as the network cable, preferably shielded, which is much more expensive than other brands, but it is not used much at home. General decoration companies will use "Ampu Qingbo" and "Ampu Lenovo".

5. Other accessories:

Cartridge (Hongyan)

Cup comb (the wire should be fed into the box with a cup comb)

Octagonal box (top-mounted upper wire)

bus

PVC silicone glass fiber sleeve

flexible pipe

pipe strap

Difference between pipeline fan and central air conditioner

Let's start with the similarity between the air duct machine and the central air conditioner: the internal machines are all on it, and, um ... does this mean that I didn't mention anything about it? Hehe, from my point of view, it's more like this.

What's the difference: 1, most air duct machines are delayed (of course, there are many delays), and central air conditioning is delayed;

2. Take a common parity brand as an example. According to what I have heard so far, the air duct machine only makes the internal machine look like a top, and its essence is the same as that of the wall hanging machine (of course, some better brands like Mitsubishi and Daikin have made design adjustments). Central air conditioning is specially designed for the whole system, and family central air conditioning is evolved from large central air conditioning and inherits a whole concept;

What should I pay attention to when choosing central air conditioning?

1, whether it's an air duct machine or a central air conditioner, since it's on it, it needs to be beautified with a ceiling, so there must be the cost of carpentry to make a ceiling;

The last one mentioned the ceiling, so the size of the internal machine will directly affect the size of the ceiling. Choose the appropriate size according to your actual situation;

If there are not enough seats at home and abroad, central air conditioning may be considered. Of course, central air conditioning will be more expensive than air duct machines;

4. When comparing the prices of central air conditioners, we should choose the same configuration and model, so as to be comparable. Even the same brand has many models. For example, "Gree" will have NaC series and free series, and the prices of different series are different. Need to use branches or directly in and out of the external machine, the external machine is a single fan or a double fan, so I won't talk about it here. Ask the merchant.

5. When configuring air conditioners, we should recognize the essence of data, such as Gree. Internal machine 7 1 is plus three, 36 machine is 1.5, 28 machine is 1.5, and so on. Ask the merchants clearly and don't be confused by the same concept.

6. Because the central air conditioner is towed, there is a problem of the ratio of the external machine to the internal machine. Moreover, the bigger the external machine is, the higher the price will be, because many businesses use small external machines to "drag" the configuration mode, which makes their quotations seem low, so how to judge? For example, my home is a trailer, 7 1 unit, 36 units and 28 units, so the sum of the three data is 135, the external unit 120, and the internal-external ratio is 1: 1. 125.

7. We also need to look at the accessories of air conditioners: 1, copper pipes. Gree comes standard with two kinds of copper pipes, one is Qingdao Hongtai brand, and the other is Shanghai Flywheel brand, both of which are good, among which "Flywheel" is better. 2, insulation layer, insulation layer should be thick, generally 1.5cm thick, after thickening, it can reach 2cm (actually about 1.8cm), insulation layer is mainly not for heat preservation, but to prevent condensation. In summer, it is hot and wet outside, and the pipes are cold, which will form condensed water. What happens if it drops on the gypsum board?

8. We have to ask whether the external machine supplies power or all machines supply power, which involves the question of electrician's pay-off;

9. When we make an inquiry, we should ask whether all items include air outlet and air inlet, what is the material, usually ABS, and whether the air outlet is a double louver. Isn't it a standard length that needs extra money? Do I need to pay more for the copper tube, which is several meters long or all-inclusive? It is best to ask the details of signal line, remote control or wall control, delivery, installation, punching and so on. , so as to be more confident when comparing prices.

In fact, the price of air conditioners is relatively transparent, and the price difference in the market will not be great. But the so-called "three machines and seven packages" is also very important. We need to know whether the merchants have their own professional installation team or outsource it to others. When installing, many details will directly affect the service state and even life of your machine. Although the brand is guaranteed, it is also troublesome when it is old and broken.

Ok, that's all for today about the difference between central air conditioner and air duct machine, and the matters needing attention in installation and purchase. I can only know so much at present, for your reference only! ! !

Hydropower is a hidden project. In fact, the technical content is good, but it needs careful handling by workers, because once there is a problem with water and electricity in the later stage, it is very troublesome to deal with it, and the superficial things will be done in vain, that is, it will waste money (or double the money to disassemble one), waste time and affect the mood.

So what links should be paid attention to in hydropower acceptance? I simply summed it up as "looking at the distance and paying attention to details", looking at the distance of various places and paying attention to many details.

Now I will talk to you about these issues in detail:

1, the wiring needs to be horizontal and vertical, as I said in the slot, because the horizontal and vertical wiring can more conveniently determine where the wire is in the wall during the later installation and maintenance, which can effectively avoid nailing the broken wire;

2. Pay attention to the pipe spacing. There should be a distance of about one finger between the line pipes in the same tank, because the cement can fully fall to the bottom of the tank when the bricklayer backfills in the later period, so it is not just the problem of empty drum caused by the stress of the line pipes. The line pipe should be fixed with pipe clips, that is, the white thing, with a pipe clip every 80- 120cm;

3. If strong current and weak current walk in parallel, the distance should be above 50cm, and not less than 30cm in some special places, mainly to prevent the interference of strong current to weak current. Do you still remember the Faraday electromagnetic induction principle you learned at school, hehe;

4. Strong current and weak current generally use tubes with different colors. This is not a substantive issue, but it is easy to distinguish;

5. At the junction of strong and weak electricity, it is wrapped with tin foil, just to prevent the interference of strong electricity to weak electricity. In fact, cross-interference is very limited, so the problem is not big. Now some companies use KBG tubes to make weak electricity. This is the same reason. Whether it is good or not, I personally like PVC pipes, at least not embroidered, and the pipes themselves will not be charged.

6. Pay attention to the distance between the switch panel and the kitchen natural gas tank. It should be above 30cm, and the electricity will strike a light. If nothing else, you know;

7. The two internal thread heads of the water pipe should be horizontal, with a spacing of about 15cm, and the horizontal error should not exceed 2 mm;

Ok, these are all some spacing problems. Let me talk about some details first:

1, in general, water goes to the sky, electricity goes to the ground, and walls, and of course there are some suspended ceilings, such as downlights and air conditioners. In short, water can't go underground and can't be in the same tank as the conduit. Kitchen and bathroom, where water is used, are all on the wall, and electricity is not on the ground;

2. As can be seen from the above figure, the octagonal box and corrugated hose should be used on the top pipe head;

3. If the water and electricity are in the ceiling, the electric pipe is above and the water pipe is below, so that if there is water leakage, it will not drip on the electric pipe;

4. The hot water pipe above the ceiling should be wrapped with thermal insulation cotton. Hot water pipes with red lines and cold water pipes with blue lines on them are used in home decoration now, because the one with overheated water should be covered with thermal insulation cotton, not really for thermal insulation, but also to prevent condensed water from dripping on the gusset plate or gypsum board. The hot water pipes entering the wall need not be wrapped, because the cement is too thick to eat;

Because there is no hot water pipe leading to the sky, I use a picture of my friend's house.

5. Measure the water pressure of the water pipe, which is generally 8 kg (0.8MPa), and it is qualified if it drops less than 0.05MPa within half an hour. Maybe you will drop it for the first time, because there will be air around the corner;

6. When one launch leads to two launches, the inclined tee should be used to prevent the anti-water scene;

7. Say so much water at once, and then call back. The wire tube into the box should be treated with a cup comb to prevent the wire from being worn out when pulling;

8. Pay attention to the threading amount in the catheter, and do not exceed 40%, because the wire will generate heat when electrified, so leave enough space. Generally 16 pipes are in line 3, and 20 pipes are not more than line 5;

9. There can be no parallel connection in the electric box, and only one wire can be connected in the empty box;

I'm still free to drive here. I can see that there are parallel lines between the two roads. I'll turn again then.

10, it is better to connect the old and new pipelines, and the new pipeline can be closely combined with the old pipeline;

1 1. All wires shall not be exposed, whether in the conduit or covered with yellow wax pipe;

12, all wires can't have connectors in the conduit, which means that wires can only be cut in the card holder; If the supervisor detects the resistance, the resistance will change if there are more joints in the pipe, or the wire will be nailed, which can be detected (this can only be called a professional, because it is not cost-effective to buy an instrument just for your own acceptance).

13, the supervisor helped me to test whether each network cable was connected properly, and I cooperated with the supervisor to peel several wires;

14, check whether the cassettes are all horizontal, and if the error is within 5mm, it can be adjusted later;

15. All conduits or water pipes shall be fixed with pipe clamps or elevators.

These should be the main problems. Water and electricity are very important. Everyone should pay more attention to see if these aspects of their home are done well, and they can be rectified before the masons enter the market!

Finally, I will show you the installation of my front water purifier. There are always three valves installed in the bypass. If the front is broken, it can be removed without affecting the normal water use, and there will be no water backflow when it is removed.

The first thing masons do when they come in is to "repair". What is maintenance?

1, which means "plastering" the brick wall, or "powdering" the surface of the brick wall with yellow sand cement;

These are all mentioned in the wall-building post, and the junction between the old and new walls needs to be treated with barbed wire (after being fixed with nails, the surface is brushed with sand ash).

The effect of plastering the brick wall before (before and after comparison)

The uneven wall that had been hit was leveled (before and after comparison)

2. Backfill the slot. Before, the potholed walls and ground should be filled with cement. Decoration is like plastic surgery. If you open a knife, you have to sew it for someone else.

Both the water tank and the water pipe tank should be filled. When filling, the cement should fully enter the tank, so that it is not easy to form an empty drum.

3, guarantee, is to ensure that the sewer pipe, there are two ways, one is to plug bricks between pipes, and then smooth, the advantage is to save space, the disadvantage is that the wall is thin, so if you want to hang a cupboard or water heater, be careful to hit the water pipe, which is not firm, and the other is to erect bricks around the pipe like a wall, which has the advantage of being firm and occupying space;

My kitchen and bathroom are not big, so I use the first guarantee method.

4, adjust the size of the doorway, whether in the same plane and other issues;

The door of my bathroom needs to be adjusted and a small wall needs to be built. The master also made a "water beam" with his own experience.

5, leveling, the same ground if there is a big gap, then use cement mortar to level off;

6. Other repairs, such as replacing the entrance door, should deal with the door frame;

Attention, everyone. During the two-day repair process, if the bricks are not fixed, friends should fix the bricks immediately. As soon as the repair was over, the masons began to stick bricks on the wall! ! ! Of course, at this time, friends will think, who did you just repair the security door? What if you haven't bought a security door yet? Don't worry, but we must hurry. It can be finished in the time when the bricklayer sticks the wall brick, as long as the brick at the door is not sticky! ! !

Masonry is really a craft job. The quality of brick paste depends on the master's feeling, the humidity control of mixing cement and so on. When the bricklayer has finished repairing, it's time to put up the wall tiles. Dear friends, have you chosen your bricks at this time? Do you have any styles and patterns you like? Well, this is purely based on style and personal preference, so I won't say much. Let's take a look at the details of the master's tiling! ! !

My supervisor advised me to use a better sealant. I wanted to buy "Black & Decker" caulking agent, which was a bit expensive. I didn't buy it at the market that day, so I changed it to "Saint-Gobain Weber". The price is a little cheaper than that of Black & Decker, and the things are not worse than that of Black & Decker. It would be better to buy some natural moisture-proof and mildew-proof ones.

Matters needing attention in wall brick laying

My bathroom wall tile effect, the designer added a little mosaic effect in my shower area.

The effect of my kitchen is that the color of the brick is much darker than the brick itself. Although it is antique brick, its surface is smooth and relatively clean. Some bricks in my kitchen are different from the whole part. This is the "brick behind the cabinet". What's the brick behind the cupboard? It means that we stick some cheaper bricks in the shelter of the cupboard (usually you will send some bricks when you buy them in the store), which can save the decoration cost.

Ceiling materials and paving

Then let's take a look at my ceiling materials first:

1, gypsum board: gypsum board is actually a layer of putty in the middle, with paper on the surface.

Now many board manufacturers also have gypsum boards, such as "Millennium Boat" and "Bunny", which are generally around twenty or thirty pieces. The common brands are "Taishan", and the better brands are "Lafarge" and "Eddingzheke". Among them, the price of better models will also be high, and there are nearly 40%;

My gypsum board is "Saint-Gobain-Eddingzheke" red cardboard (B20 formaldehyde-free board), and such a good board is rarely used in my home decoration.

Of course, the price is a little more expensive than ordinary gypsum board and much more expensive than Bunny's.

This is a section of gypsum board.

2, wood square, we can also become a wooden keel, generally wood square has "Chinese fir", which has good elasticity, compared with low hardness, and pine wood, which has relatively low elasticity but is hard enough;

3. Plywood and joinery board: There are many kinds of boards. The ceiling is made of plywood and joinery board, which is mainly used for lining the air outlet of air conditioner. Later, when carpenters enter the site, I will introduce the knowledge of plates in detail.

I use Bunny E 1 grade board, and these are not used much.

4. Accessories;

White glue (wood glue)

Self-tapping screws (mainly used for fixing gypsum board, black rust-proof metal, not recommended).

Cement nail (you will know this when you see the picture, so I won't explain it much)

Nail arrangement (i.e. for woodworking air guns)

Editor's note: Rome was not built in a day. Beneath the warmth and beauty of each bedroom, the bitterness and joy of the owner's whole decoration process are hidden. If you want to see the detailed decoration process of this case, please click to view the original post of the forum.
