We RENOVATED This Abandoned old house For 6 MONTHS And This Is How It TRANSFORMED.
Hello my friends. We renovated this old abandoned house in 6 months and this is how it transformed. conspicuous location in our courtyard The amount of work is also huge It may take several days to complete There used to be some mint and chrysanthemums planted here. Let’s transplant them outside to the garden first
This path We keep the original stone them up Surrounded by Buddhist grass In the middle, we are going to use soil to create the shape of a hill. Level the ground first Apply a layer of moisture-proof membrane Go pick up two more stones from the river
Feather style we bought the day before yesterday Today, let’s decide on the proportions of the stones and maple trees. Continue the transformation tomorrow We are still renovating the courtyard This house is at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain We rented it for 5,000 yuan This area is the most conspicuous location in the yard
We made two connected hills covered with moss We picked up two more stones from the river attached to the hill Simulate natural mountain topography Now we still need to design the trail expect Hello everyone, I am Mustache It’s New Year’s Eve
Although I couldn’t go back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year this year we follow the customs of our hometown get up early Sweeping the floor in Yangcheng and writing Spring Festival couplets Extremely busy This is our first time celebrating New Year in Zhongnan Mountain
Although there is no big fish or meat Relatives are waiting But also happy and comfortable We think the moss is too plain So we want to plant some Buddhist grass I searched all over the market and couldn’t find it. Encountered Boxue Wanniancao recommended by the boss A succulent native to Spain
It seems like something is missing Well, add a fern moss It’s much richer now Right, right, let’s do it Let’s go back now This path is also a supplementary path leading to our bedroom It is also an embellishment of the triangular area of the yard. Beautification over practicality
We have laid the groundwork for this Set up in three ways This time we went to the river to pick up more natural stones . steps of stone To combine the matching and practicality of our scene 5-6cm of height is exposed on the surface Others attached The main task today is to dismantle
Winter has passed Let’s tear down the chimney at the same time We also tore down the red brick fireplace that we worked so hard to accumulate Its thermal conductivity is too low We are going to make another one using iron plates outdoor vegetable garden Dismantle it too Plank the future
If you can detect it from the sky It must be wonderful to think about it Start remodeling your sink today get up in the morning Let’s go to the mountain opposite to pick up a piece of wood first. The cherry blossoms here are finished See off friends in the afternoon It’s getting late
Let’s continue polishing sink countertop similar to a desktop Hollow out the middle Embedding the bluestone trough we found a few days ago With the help of the neighbor uncle The installation of the stone trough was finally completed in the dusk. Everyone thinks How about the wash basin we made ourselves ?
After I bought this kang table from the flea market two days ago, Mr. Brickman is like a treasure the sunny weather today A random operation Reinforce sanding and oiling Well, now comes our moment of enjoyment Awesome guarantee We installed overhangs on the doors and windows Thatch attached to it this richer?
You have any other good suggestions ? this color now ? Echoes the white wall behind the newly sprayed color is a little more conspicuous Let time neutralize the polarity in him. When I moved into this small courtyard two years ago, I painted the room on the second floor once .
Conditions were poor at that time Just stay here simply Renovate the courtyard this year So the whole room needs to be tidied up again It took me two days to Moved everything out of the room Today I will repaint the walls of this room with a new color.
A room wants to be comfortable The walls must be very clean Hello everyone, I am Banchuan some days ago Made a straw eave for the kitchen door Much more beautiful For relative coordination and unification kitchen window today too Two friends came over to play in the courtyard I caught him and worked together
Several people are confused The eaves were installed in just a few clicks. Isn’t it beautiful ? morning time My seventh brother and I vacated everything in this room Because the floor heating will be installed in the afternoon How did you know we were coming? This is a full car
That’s all the materials for laying floor heating this time We chose Dayurui Life Electric Floor Heating this brand The west room on the second floor of the courtyard Very little sunshine in winter So I plan to install floor heating in this room All installation materials need to be carried manually
The first thing to lay is the thermal insulation layer Because the ground is cement floor relatively flat Can be constructed directly The laying of floor heating was completed by Master Zhang Seemingly simple operation In fact, it requires a lot of care and patience. joints between the thermal layers are sealed
This has a better thermal insulation effect Chatting time Master Zhang has already started laying the heating layer This heating layer is extremely thin and light It is said that the principle of heating is that electric energy causes graphite to move and thermogenic _
This is what it looks like after laying the heating layer It’s like the whole house is equipped with solar energy The circuit connection between each heating plate And the details of waterproofing and fireproofing Master Zhang is handling them one by one The top floor has begun to be laid This kind of floor
Wood grain floor made of stone and PVC the ornamental value of wooden floor It is also waterproof, fireproof and wear-resistant for stone floors. It also has the flexibility of PVC The safety factor is particularly high It can be said to be a collection of many highlights. Want to do good things
You must sharpen your tools first Just look at Master Zhang ’s tool kit and you’ll know In terms of floor installation Master Zhang must be professional Floor laying is the slowest part It is made up of small floors joined together Every detail needs to be perfectly matched
The external part needs to be beautiful and generous Every floor needs a demo pen pair of snaps and tap appropriately make it fit perfectly Be busy until night Start wiring test now After testing without problems The floor can be edge – sealed . Edge sealing is not only beautiful
It can also prevent dust from entering the cracks in the wall. Due to the installation of floor heating The ground was raised by two centimeters So part of the door needs to be cut off It’s over after installing the door so busy till so late be some more plants underneath this maple tree
Dig two ferns from here been planted now no moss to spread . Tomorrow I’ll go to the mountains and dig some moss for paving Moss is a very spiritual plant What about after the expansion ? The whole landscape seems to be painted with a dragon
After whitewashing the walls on the first floor yesterday, For relative coordination and unification Today I’m going to whitewash the remaining walls on the second floor. this building It’s just a white house standing among the mountains and forests Just like the blooming locust flower White and clean , hidden among the green leaves
Plants in the courtyard are the soul of the courtyard In addition to daily watering and fertilizing need to be cleaned regularly clear weeds Keep the yard’s landscape tidy In addition, the pruning and shaping of the plants in the courtyard are also very My idea is relatively simple
Cut the bamboo into the same shape as the railing Just tie it to the top with hemp rope . Because I think simple and natural things The most durable Appreciation -resistant guardrails need to be decorated both inside and outside So I split the bamboo in half and used it
This not only saves bamboo materials And the guardrail will not be so bulky Because there are cement railings So no need for keel Tie the bamboo pieces directly to the railing set of two bamboo pieces knot at the top and one at the bottom The effect is still very good
I have an idea in my mind Prepare the materials and start building In addition to purchasing anti-corrosion wood We also collected some old wood from the village of old wood is deep Introverted temperament The lawn we built should be worse . My lawn is in a corner of the backyard
The structure is relatively simple Raise four pillars Build a platform Just make a roof simple mortise and tenon techniques are also used. For example, this platform is riveted to the pillars. Pillars serve as the main load-bearing components of the pavilion Not only must bear the weight of the platform
It also needs to bear the weight of the roof So the pillars are strong and stable Plays a very important role in the pavilion The span of the platform is 4 meters Some small columns are needed in the middle to support it process from bottom to top After the platform skeleton is completed
It’s time to lay the panels Next, cut the pillars to determine the height of the roof. Normally The higher the roof , the better the light But I prefer a lower roof Surrounded by dull bamboo walls and low roofs It should create a sense of mist I hope people drinking tea here
By color through sound Perceive life through increasingly weak tea soup Sense the haze the roof is similar to the construction of the platform After making the skeleton laying panels Add a tarpaulin to the surface of the panel Then just use straw to beautify it. Of course, railings are also indispensable.
Because the platform needs to have boundaries I boarded up the space under the platform. side door opened next to it Can store some tools and flower pots that are not usually used It can also prevent cats and dogs from entering . Finally, I used the scraps to make a flower stand.
Put up bonsai You can also watch it while drinking tea go empty No need to be persistent Gains and losses are random busy time Leave some leisure time with flowers and plants Although the flowers and grass are speechless But it can produce fragrance Can relieve your fatigue accommodate your joys and sorrows
Rest your mind What about after these thatched tiles are arranged on top? Nail it with seven Ding nails Then press the two hemp ropes This will prevent you from blowing in strong winds Thatch flies up In addition , although this real thatch is beautiful, but also perishable
Therefore, laying it thicker can extend its service life . ’s now covered The entire roof looks thicker thin as before This is a very regular rectangular room I want this room become a place to stay very simple But I want to make this place of stay feel a little better. It ‘s different
The whitewashing of this room is now finished. run the wire tomorrow But I still want to ask For such a field the many pictures above ? Evaluate a pottery jar with tiles broken by the freeze last winter So this small well is disabled . this small well to a new location today
Remodel it A long table can be set up in the free space To facilitate tomorrow’s activities This time the tiles are wrapped in cement I hope that the water will accumulate into a pond by then I want a little water Duckweed Sunlight Moon shadow leaves fall among them must be very beautiful
So I built a cage of soil Planted 3 bees _ Collecting garden moss Used to pave and beautify small scenes Renovation completed Just set up a long table Please see the effect next Maple tree shape Rich leaf shapes And the leaves change with the seasons causing color changes _ very beautiful
In my opinion Maple trees are like thatched pavilions It is one of the essential plant elements in the small yard My front yard and backyard As long as there is a place for landscaping maple trees are used certainly Beautiful maple trees need to be pruned and shaped
It also requires careful maintenance in the future. Trees and ferns have been planted This is roughly the structure no moss to spread . I’ll go into the mountains tomorrow to collect some moss so reasonable It feels very good The story that happened has passed This is my third year at Zhongnan Mountain
The grass at the door is as barren as my heart I can’t see the pure land in the middle I decided to clean it up The human heart is like a cultivated land Be diligent in hard work Common sense is absurd I often think What kind of life is a meaningful person ?
Yesterday when we were pulling weeds Found the water meter pit filled with water clean up See what’s the reason The water pipes don’t leak either It’s like underground water collects here The path in the yard is paved with wooden sticks
It has been three years and some of them have become rotten and broken. So it needs to be replenished I have always believed that the essence of a courtyard lies in its cultivation rather than its creation. Just like trees need pruning and maintenance The whole courtyard is like this too
The wooden path needs each stick to squeeze tightly against each other This way it won’t slide the weeds in your yard After cleaning Found weed leaves with clear veins lush colors very beautiful I thought about doing him on the Internet Tutorials for people So prepare to imitate it
I picked some grass and leaves that I liked Soak these leaves in pickling brine for an hour Then take out the leaves and dry them It’s ready for perming and dyeing Perming and dyeing is very simple Place the leaves where you like Just apply a layer of film and tap it.
Beat until leaf cells are broken stick to clothes That’s probably it Look, this is what it looks like after knocking Finally, you need to soak it in alum water to fix the color. Deal with it this way Can make the color of grass and trees Stay on clothes for a long time
First time perming and dyeing There’s been a lot of rain this year The weeds also grow extremely lush Bamboo originally planted He was also climbed over by weeds and fell down. There is no longer the feeling of a bamboo forest path People are always lazy I wasted a lot in my busy life
While it stops raining, clean up weeds clear the road Once the weather clears, we can start pulling soil. There has been a lot of rain in Zhongnan Mountain recently Landslide in many places The courtyard was also badly affected It slipped a little bit closer to the grass pavilion.
The bamboo wall was also squeezed and deformed The other corner is more serious A lot of it slipped away Zhu Qiang was damaged by the soil Fortunately, he didn’t slip away completely Since ancient times, autumn has been sad and lonely The remaining leaves of the lotus shed with resentment
Qiu and Yier must be faithful to each other Drink peace and enjoy peace and quiet Let’s not care about worldly affairs and fight for warm treasures here is divided That’s all , that ’s all It has been basically shut down in recent months. Zhongnan Mountain also received a lot of rain this year.
It is said to be the wettest year in the past 60 years Landslides and collapses occurred in many places. My backyard is not immune to this rainy season either But I’m not depressed Because of the sliding mud Make the entire backyard higher and more open and heavy a new look at this backyard
Fun than the previous yard The backyard has terrain With height You can create more and more artistic landscapes seemingly destroyed In fact, rebirth in the dark process of rebuilding the courtyard So sometimes I feel that renovating a small courtyard is like life Sometimes you give up your original self
Become a better person again When taking a shower A little air leakage to patch it up today problems when remodeling your own courtyard. Every time you encounter a problem My first solution is to solve it myself If you can’t solve it yourself, ask others for help. No matter what you do
Safety protection and health awareness Always the primary productive force The underside of the operating table has also been finished. Then you can put some bowls in these cabinets below Put some sinks or something like that They say this winter will be colder Presumably it will snow more here first in my imagination
There is a big platform When it’s snowing heavily I sit on it Facing the vast mountains, rivers and land ahead to feel one’s own insignificance After a few hours of work The entire general framework has also been released. Just lay out the panels tomorrow morning . People should get closer to nature
Contact with nature It should be noted that everything we eat and wear comes from nature. So we are born as humans should love nature respect nature Treat nature as you treat your parents Be in awe is very insignificant in the growth of nature
Look at the earthquakes , tsunamis , flash floods and rainstorms again and again Alert people all the time Therefore, people should walk more in nature To realize my own insignificance Only when I feel it Only then will you sincerely love nature protect nature so in the growth of nature can we live healthily
Be a meaningful person Go for a walk and bask in the sun in winter cool in summer Hello everyone, I am half dressed for the door two days ago no guardrails I’m thinking that the platform should be unbounded There is room for extension It should be open Continuous feeling of transmission
People should relax physically and mentally under such conditions no borders But considering the safety and the sheep in the village, Today we added railings to the platform The railings are made very low Very transparent and weakens the feeling of closure Let everyone still be transparent in nature Very open
Still able to relax physically and mentally The same is true in life Many details affect people’s mentality I hope my friends who come can stay here without any pressure Very retreat Keep your former residence hut courtyard Reading and making tea smell the pine trees Under the study window Plant flowers and stones
Drawing materials from Poetry Pavilion in your spare time Sit quietly and sincerely One day is powerless and boundless Regardless of the rise and fall of the world Life passes by itself It can cure my dreamy life make a tatami drink tea indoors in winter Platform-building work like this Already familiar with the road
As long as there are materials three times five divided by two It can create a stable platform to work on The platform is simple But we still need to arrange some arrangements for tea. Fortunately, I am prepared daily Hello everyone, I am Banchuan During the renovation process of the courtyard
We have to take into account the aesthetics at the same time Practicality also needs to be taken into account This pavilion was previously built on the terrace The platform is also relatively high This is done to sit cross-legged on the platform You can enjoy the view from a high place
When the upper part of the body is not covered People’s minds will also be broadened Every strength must have its shortcomings The platform is high Going up and down the platform has become a new problem have free time today Use leftover wood from the previous days
Come and build a stepping stone for the platform for up and down use The materials are still leftover materials from the previous platform building. relatively harmonious The only drawback is that it’s a bit new Solve every problem New problems arise A bit new to this question It can only be solved by time
Issues of functionality and practicality were addressed Beginning of spring Just set up a bonsai on the cement floor Just a few clicks Life in Zhushan must be thoughtful Action is also needed Clean the prepared bamboo This bamboo should be cleaned Give it this wood wax oil Wipe it again
Wiped bamboo becomes bright and clean I ‘m going to make this pile of bamboo into a small bamboo wall first need to be drilled at corresponding positions at both ends of the bamboo. Then tie the bamboos with wires The two ends of the bamboo are worn like this
This forms a simple bamboo wall I added another beam Make this bamboo wall more stable this done ? Of course, this kind of bamboo wall can also be used as a bamboo fence. Now move this bamboo wall to the designed location The four walls of this pavilion are blank
Add such a small piece of bamboo wall There is a relationship between reality and reality Finally, the bamboo wall was fixed on the pavilion Then hang another calligraphy and painting This artistic conception suddenly came out This decoration is now finished Then prepare some small bamboos Make the triangle area above
This little triangle looks simple But because of the special size So I chose the stupidest installation method Measure one and cut one Then fix one more Many things in life are like this Whether you think it is complex or simple All need to be completed step by step After constant up and down
Finally half of the triangular area is completed take a break have a cup of tea Then do the rest this section Reciprocating work is the most boring thing Can be repeated countless times Often a satisfactory answer can be accumulated Fix it on the last bamboo
The ideas in my mind can be considered completed. The whole process is like what everyone can see with their own eyes The pavilion is indeed much more beautiful Finished the work and cleaned up the scene Put the carpet back Set up a tea party Prepare tea utensils
Read and drink tea under the pavilion Don’t care about worldly affairs anymore This is the old wood that was removed before Find some sizes you can use and prepare them Now I’m going to use this pile of materials to make a bookshelf This boss serves as a panel After the materials are ready
The first thing is to get the size you need Cut the lettering Then sand away the dirt on the surface of the wood The true character of the word “boss” will be revealed used as a floor and partition Need to be cut to the same size
Four small wooden boards join together to form one big board Of course we need to add two beams to become a whole This board also needs some light sanding . become more organized Now ready to fix the side panels spliced together with this kind of small wood .
The partition needs to be fixed on the side panel Reserve space below for books This small piece of wood is used to assist work You can remove it I want to divide the book collection space into three parts So we still need to cut some small boards to separate them.
Cut the small board Fix it with auxiliary wood first This makes it easy to put it in and fix it. Now the general appearance of the small bookshelf has been revealed. For the stability of the entire bookshelf The wooden boards below also need to be fixed one by one
Installing the back panel, there happened to be some small pieces of wood Although one centimeter shorter However , it does not affect the view when used as a backplane. I hesitated at that time Do you want to re-cut some? Later I thought about recycling waste Just use it
But it does not affect the overall effect of the bookshelf at all The last thing is the panel. After the old panels are put on The whole bookshelf suddenly became calm . Rustic Okay, it’s finished sweep sweep Move it to the designed location Although I was rushing to make a small bookshelf
But I think it also looks like a TV cabinet Such a simple TV cabinet can be used as a bookshelf The effect should be good too I always have something to use for this a small bookshelf is not only to store books Its mezzanine can hold some tea utensils
Bonsai can be placed on the countertop The entire bookshelf also plays a role in enriching space. There are various old jar stone tools Various old furniture I ‘m going to find a tank to store spring water in to sell this ah This one also has a lid. Picked a circle
Finally chose this tank Now test whether this water tank is leaking or not. In the end, the tank was sold for 90 yuan . Next, modify it I’m going to install a faucet on the tank So you need to make a hole first Then just install this faucet
But it must be sealed with a sealing ring Otherwise it will leak There is a lot of dirt and dust on the surface of this old tank be cleaned first Wash inside and outside several times This water tank is now ready I tested it and there was no problem.
Now make one for this water tank make a shelf Find a few pieces of unused scrap wood and saw it casually Then style it as you want The last fix A simple manicure will do In order to increase the stress-bearing area at the bottom of the cylinder I added another piece of wood
This can reduce the pressure in the water tank Increase stability I put it in the corner of the pavilion This way water can be stored to block light Spring water brought from the mountains will not be damaged by the sun
In addition , this kind of pottery jar also has the function of raising water. After the water is stored for a few days, the taste will change Naturally dissolve This water tank still needs a lid. you have any good suggestions ?
The wood wax oil was left over from painting the pavilion a few days ago. The effect is not bad Just use it After brushing, wait for the paint to dry. to proceed to the next step The paint is almost dry now . I found a set of iron legs like this
Now nail it _ First arrange the four legs in a good position Secure with long, thick screws Such a one can be used as a light adjustment It can also be used as a small plug and the transformation is complete. This accompanying thing , let ’s call it dimming,
Coordinated when placed on the pavilion . Next, I will demonstrate the usage scenario for you. if you want to plant trees Spring is a good time You can plant trees in this season with just a little soil Very easy to survive It only takes a minute to dig a tree
This hole must be filled Lest the wild boar comes and stumbles Although the tree is not big Not much soil But it’s still pretty cool Find a suitable place Dig another hole Prepare to plant trees Get some sheep manure and use it as base fertilizer Now you can plant the tree in
The tree needs to be adjusted at multiple angles when placed in it. Every tree must have its own most beautiful side The tree has been planted Everyone In fact, there are philosophies of life everywhere in life. As long as you find it carefully Like I’m emptying the pavilion And you’re clearing your mind
This wood wax oil has no pungent smell applied is matte More textured _ You can try the paint color Trial and error can also happen in life This section was painted with color painted twice . Painting is an unskilled job You can do it if you want like many things
Sometimes we need to overcome our laziness through labor and creation Come and discover the many beauties in life In fact, many interesting things already exist You only have to move to find it Because stepping is used more frequently Much wear and tear The color becomes more beautiful after the second application
When a story Or a person’s life context is relatively clear Then its process and results will become interesting
