The Russian proverb "need for invention is cunning" is hardly familiar to an American who built a bath for his new home for symbolic money. However, this is exactly what you can call a report about his "crazy hands". Household appliances, including bathroom equipment, are not cheap. And if you recently completed the construction of a house, then your financial condition is by no means brilliant. And if you have the skill and desire, you will prefer to do everything that is possible with your own hands. As it turns out, it's not difficult.

Dream House

Imagine building the house of your dreams. The first thing you will worry about is the foundation and wall material. Then comes the turn to the roof and finishing work. You will most likely be forced to hire workers, and the prices for these services are getting higher every year.

Having completed the construction of walls, roofs, etc., you will take up the interior design - here your fantasy will come into conflict with the real state of your budget. If, of course, you have a million-dollar income, then these problems will not bother you, but with an average income level, you will have to save.

And here the question arises: what expenses can be significantly "cut"?

What can you do?

Modern men know a lot about computer technology, but the number of those who can easily cope with any household task (fix, fix, redo) is steadily declining. In any case, this is how things are in megacities - it is no coincidence that the services of a "husband for an hour" have become so popular. And this trend, apparently, is observed both in Russia and in America, despite the difference in political priorities.

However, "not all dinosaurs died out", as evidenced by the example of a man from America. By the way, he shares his experience on the Web, and therefore there is hope that his experience will be useful to those who would like to bring their own ideas to life with their own hands. Perhaps in American schools, as well as in Russian, they teach the basics of some kind of craft or repair skills.

Practical course

So, the dream house is almost completed, but there is no money left (or almost no money left) to finish the bathroom. But one should not despair. If you have at least a small amount available, then you may well become the proud owner of an exclusive bathroom that all your friends will envy.

First you need to buy cement for the foundation, bricks for the construction of borders, pipes for draining and supplying water. Next, you need to think about the color scheme for your bathtub so that it matches the hue of the walls. After that, you do the calculations so that you don't spend extra money on buying mosaics.

You can also get creative and stock up on pebbles for laying out the bottom of your bath: they will look very impressive with the mosaic pattern laid out.

Of course, you will need a hygroscopic pad to keep moisture out of the house's foundation.

Before starting construction, you will need to draw a plan, taking into account the sequence of actions. You have to think through every little detail so that you do not have to break open the already hardened cement, for example, to lay a drain pipe.

Now let's turn to the experience of the American. The man decided to go the most economical way: he made a bath near the wall, which significantly reduced the amount of work and materials. Then he brought the water pipes and marked the place of the drain.

Laying out the sides of brick and concrete, he waited for them to fully harden and proceeded to finish. The bottom was decorated with pebbles, which I picked up in shape and size. And the walls were lined with mosaic tiles, showing imagination.

Important! Pebbles are laid after tiles.

After the work was completed, acquaintances and friends began to come to visit the master to admire the results of his work. The bathroom really looks chic, and it never occurs to anyone that it appeared only because the money raised by the family to build the house is almost gone.

How often do we stop at a problem that exists only in our head! We think that everything depends on money, forgetting that during our lives we have developed skills that are just waiting in the wings to manifest.

We should often remember the biblical truth: "A time to scatter stones and a time to collect stones" … At some point we gain knowledge and skills, then the hour comes when we have to use them … Unless, of course, we were good students.
