A GIRL RENOVATED HER MOM'S CRAPPY 7-SQUARE KITCHEN BY HERSELF FOR 40,000 RUBLES WITH HER OWN HANDS
How a petite girl renovated a 7-square-meter kitchen with her own hands for 40,000 rubles. I'm renovating my mother's kitchen in a Brezhnev-era apartment.
The renovation took exactly one month and was done entirely by hand.
The entire renovation, including all materials, cost 40,000 rubles.
The cabinets are made of wall panels, which are sold at Leroy Merlin in various sizes: three 80-cm-wide cabinets and one 30-cm-wide cabinet. The cabinets are 50 cm deep. Leroy Merlin sells panels in different sizes, and I bought the ones I needed: 80x50 and 50x30. I bought the door hinges separately and drilled holes in the doors for the hinges with a round bit. I joined the panels together with regular iron corners and self-tapping screws. The cost of these cabinets was 4,000 rubles, plus the countertop, which cost 3,000 rubles. In total, the 277 cm long kitchen set built by hand cost 7 thousand rubles.
