Popular wisdom says: "Repairs can be stopped, but not finished." Decoding into ordinary everyday language means that what was conceived at the beginning of the repair will never work. It is simply a volitional effort to stop this event. The eye will always reveal imperfections, flaws, inept hand of the master, poor quality of finishing materials. And at some point, the owner of the apartment thinks: if the renovation has turned into a disaster, then how to hide the flaws?

What are the mistakes and imperfections
Many troubles during repairs can be considered typical, because they are repeated with many people during repairs in different apartments. They arise because people who have never done anything like this on their own undertake repairs. have done, are not familiar with technologies, do not understand anything about building materials, do not know how to use tools. Someone else's experience needs to be studied and analyzed. Better yet, entrust the work to professionals. It will be more expensive, but you will certainly get savings on alterations and fixes.
For some reason, the most common mistake when renovating your own room is the wrong location of electrical outlets. When the repair is over, it suddenly turns out that there are fewer outlets than necessary; that they are installed in the wrong places where they are needed; and some are installed in the right place, but it is inconvenient to use them - too low or too high.
Plastering work is unusual for an ordinary citizen. In life, he is engaged in completely different things. These "specialists" have the surface of the walls not smooth, but all in pits, cracks and bumps. You need to know how to prepare a plaster solution, how much to draw and how to smooth it. For preparatory work, you will need a hatchet or hammer to beat off protruding areas; sometimes, a hammer drill and a chisel; plumb lines and level to control the horizontal and vertical surfaces. When performing the actual plastering work, the main tool is a trowel, or trowel.
Rubber or steel spatulas are used to smooth the mortar along the wall. When leveling, an aluminum or wooden rule is used, a perforated corner is installed on the outer corners. For decorative putty, special tools are used. And this is an incomplete list of devices that a plasterer should use in his work.
Alignment within small limits occurs when wallpapering the wall. In the recesses, you can leave pieces of old wallpaper and a layer of non-woven fabric.
By organizing lighting in the room, you can emphasize the most advantageous places and hide the unsuccessful ones. You can hide the curvature of the walls and ceiling by eliminating the ceiling edges and floor skirting boards.
The creation of a floor requires a completely flat surface, without bulges and depressions. In this case, horizontal.
It is very difficult even for specialists to make a smooth, beautiful ceiling. After all, the worker has to stand with his hands and head raised. This work must be entrusted to professionals.
Correction of mistakes and defects
Many of the mistakes made are quite possible to correct. With the location of the electrical fittings, the problems are solved quite simply. Of course, it would be worthwhile to think over this issue more carefully in advance. But in a specific case, you need to take another look at the number and location of outlets and switches. You don't even need to delete unnecessary ones. But those that are not enough should and can be delivered. To do this, you need to clearly decide where and make a mark. Additional lengths of wire can be laid at floor level, inside the skirting board, and a socket for a socket or switch can be drilled out. Carefully stick the patches on the damaged wallpaper. If you want to lay the wire vertically, you can chisel out a channel in the plaster, then glue it with wallpaper.
Poorly laid plaster is masked with putty at the stage of finishing. The bulges can be slightly scraped, a layer of putty can be laid a little thicker in the grooves.
If you get curved slopes of window openings, then you can glue drywall panels on them.
It is advisable to correct the uneven surface of the floor, despite the difficulties. Otherwise, the parquet will not fit well or the laminate will deform. The most effective way to level the floor is to put sheets of chipboard or thick plywood on the screed.
The unevenness of the ceiling is hidden by decorative plaster. There is one more, fundamentally different way. This is the installation of a stretch ceiling. The surface is perfect, specialists do their work at the speed of one room in three hours. And the stretch ceiling costs less than leveling and whitewashing in the usual ways.
The main troubles during repairs are a large amount of debris and carrying things. But this must be endured. Furniture that cannot be removed from the room must be carefully covered with foil. The order of work is of great importance - first the ceiling, then the walls, and last of all - the floor. By the way, the stretch ceiling can be installed at any time.
Conclusion
Repair is often referred to as improving the work of builders when moving into a new apartment. This is not a repair, but a correction of someone else's marriage. But after living in his apartment for many years, a person discovers that something needs to be repaired. The result of the repair depends on a clear planning and preparation for this costly and time-consuming operation.
