Hi everyone!! how are you guys today??? I hope you are always healthy and continue to be enthusiastic about your respective routines....
Back again with me ,, today I want to show you the process of renovating a wooden floor room belonging to my neighbor, this room will be used for his wife who is about to give birth, in my area rooms like this are very common in almost every house there a room like this, this room is made higher than the main floor of the house and below it will be a place to store items that are rarely used.
In the corner of this room, there is usually a place for washing or something like that,this aims to make it easier for people who are in labor to wash their baby's diapers without having to walk to the bathroom.
The photo above is the room before I renovated you can see in the corner there is a split bamboo floor and that's the place to wash what I mean, all of the wooden floors have been damaged and some even have holes and I dismantled all the floors until they were finished then I checked whether the retaining wood under it can still be used or not, there are some that have started to be eaten by termites and are brittle so I replace them with new wood, in total all the retaining wood is 9 and the only ones that are still suitable for use are 4 wood so my 5 wood replace with new, stronger wood.
This room has a width of 3 meters and a length of 3.5 meters and the retaining wood is placed according to the length of the room so I cut the wood with a length of 3.65 meters because 7 cm from each end of the wood will be inserted into the wall to hold it because it doesn't work. there is a pole at the bottom.
After I finished installing the retaining wood, then I smeared all the retaining wood with termite oil so that the wood was durable, and I invited my friends to help in this work because it was a bit difficult to do it yourself.
My job this time is a little tiring because when I smear all the wood I have to squat down so that all the wood is evenly exposed to the termite oil and that's a little difficult for me because my body size is a bit fat.
Then after all the wood was dry from the oil I started cutting the boards that I would stick to the retaining wood as the floor, the boards needed were 14 pieces and I cut them with a length of 3 meters because it followed the width of the room.
These boards are bought at a wood shop and the types are different, you can see it from the color of the wood.
All the boards that I have cut I stick to the retaining wood using nails and a hammer, for the washing place I don't stick a board there with a size of 60 x 80 cm because of a request from the owner he will buy zinc first for that place and then the zinc it will be pasted underneath which will be connected to the sewer but that is no longer part of my job because I don't understand it, I just renovated the floor.
And finally, after I installed all the floors, I made a ladder as a step to climb up this room using the leftover boards for the floor, I made this ladder with a width of 60 cm and three levels on each level measuring 20 cm according to the size of the board and this size is very appropriate meaning not too high and not too low and the height of this room is 80 cm from the main floor of the house so this 3 level staircase will fit.
That's a little explanation of the renovation of a room that was done 2 days ago, hope you like it, see you in the next post....have a great day..
