Chapter 423 - House Decoration (2)
"If the remote control switch really has such a big advantage, why hasn't it been popularized in the renovation process now?
I think there may be some problems in the service life of the switch, which has not been tested by time, so it has not been recognized by everyone. ”
"Not time-tested?
I'm afraid even you won't believe that.
How many years has the same electronic technology been used on the remote control board of a TV, and does it not prove its stability? ”
"That's right, the frequency of use of the TV remote control board is much higher than that of the light switch, and I haven't seen how many of them are broken, there should be other reasons."
"Everything is a benefit.
You think, the same set of housing, with the traditional installation method, is generally contracted labor but not materials.
The wage is generally calculated at $25 to $30 per person.
The calculation method of potential is a bit tricky, telephone, TV, computer, air conditioner is two people, two or three sockets, switches are one person, weak current box is four people, each group of total electric box is one person, each lamp is one person, the hall headlights are three points, and the downlights are three points.
In addition, the wiring groove is 12 yuan a meter, and the repair groove is 8 yuan a meter, and the installation of lamps and lanterns will be calculated separately.
They are very "thoughtful" for you, and even think of things you haven't thought about.
But the fact is that the fixed phone at home has long been replaced by mobile phones, and traditional TV has been replaced by convenient and free network TV.
Therefore, the installation of closed circuits for telephones and televisions is completely tricky, and users spend money to get something that they will hardly use.
In some places where electricity consumption is small, an external plug-in board can solve the problem, but they are eager to install a socket for every appliance in your home.
At the same time, broadband fiber-to-the-home will hardly give you a tube, and most of them are still open wires.
Because the master who installed the broadband did not have the leisure to do this time-consuming and thankless task.
Coupled with the existence of wireless network cards, the network in the house can be completely covered by wireless network.
The configuration of those network cables and junction boxes has also become almost a decoration.
Don't complicate things, use more materials, how those renovation companies are embarrassed to charge your wages. ”
"Wi-Fi is easy to be slowed down by others.
Besides, I always feel a little uncomfortable when I spend money to let others use it for free. ”
"Nowadays, most routers have the function of limiting the MAC address, so it is not very complicated to connect only the devices you allow to connect to the network."
"For someone who understands computers, it's not complicated.
But for ordinary users, the operation is too complicated, and it is better to turn off the broadcast function of the router directly.
In this way, others will not be able to search for their own home WiFi signal, if you don't know the SSlD number of the wireless network, let alone cracking, even the network can't see what you crack. ”
"So, there are better solutions, why don't those renovation companies mention it.
Because if they follow this plan, they will not save much in material costs, but they will save more than half of the labor costs. ”
Indeed, if the wage is several times the cost of materials, anyone can see the problem in the middle.
So they take advantage of the homeowner's idea of wanting to do everything once and for all, and give you a renovation plan that can adapt to decades of development.
But they will never tell you that the service life of ordinary wires is generally only about ten years.
Moreover, with the development of science and technology, more reasonable decoration methods will also appear.
For example, in our special zone, in the case of centralized dining and unified provision of hot and cold water, the maximum power of electricity per household is only two or three kilowatts.
If you look at it from the perspective of so-called development, this is simply impossible. ”
"And the wallpaper is also full of pits, and the wall needs to be polished and smoothed, which is understandable.
But the quality of the developer's house is really so bad that the workers hired can't even wipe the wall?
Due to construction problems, it is possible to splash some cement particles on the wall, but these particles can be easily removed with a shovel.
What do you mean by leaving a few things that are not easy to deal with until the homeowner comes to know the progress of the project?
It's just that I want to get more wages.
You said that the wall should be waterproofed, and a layer of putty should be applied after brushing the glue, and a layer of base film should be brushed after polishing and smoothing, which feels very high-end.
Once the original clean wall is polished, it feels much smoother to the touch, but the dust generated during polishing will seriously affect the paste effect behind, what should I do?
Purge? There is no salary, it is better to brush a layer of glue directly, and you can also collect the salary of a process again.
Anyway, the more complex your 'craft' is thought by ordinary people, the more professional you are.
Of course, the better it is to collect money.
Isn't it good to stick the wallpaper directly after brushing the glue?
No, the wallpaper posted in this way is uneven, the effect is not very good, it is better to apply another layer of putty.
Well, you're a professional, I don't understand anyway, or you're up to you, I'm just a bill-payer.
But the putty is wiped, why do you have to polish it?
Because it is smoother after grinding.
However, after the putty is polished, new dust is generated, and it feels not very environmentally friendly when it is brushed again.
Therefore, brush a layer of waterproof and moisture-proof high base film, and the wallpaper will be much firmer.
Since putty has the effect of leveling the wall, isn't the previous grinding process redundant?
If the grinding of the wall is a redundant process, the glue will have no meaning.
Moreover, the putty is uneven, and it has to be made up for by grinding, which is really not flattering.
To be honest, no matter how good the wallpaper is, it will be tired after looking at it for a long time, so it is necessary to choose so high-end and stick so firmly? ”
"I think there is a problem in the middle, my hometown house is plastered with a layer of putty, and when the putty is dry, I put up the wallpaper, and I haven't found anything wrong with it for three or four years.
Besides, the wallpaper doesn't look good after it is old, and it is best to replace it again, but it is a time-consuming and laborious task to remove those old wallpapers.
When I did it, I was afraid that it would not be solid, but when I changed it, I hated that it was too solid at that time. ”
"I feel the same way, to be honest, what those wallpapers look like, I only pay attention to when decorating.
After moving in, I never appreciated it carefully, and it was only when there was a large area of peeling and fading that I remembered that it was time to change the style.
I really don't know what the so-called high-end wallpaper was bought for at that time? ”
"Since no matter how high-end wallpaper is, there are problems of aging and fading, it is better to use the cheapest PVC self-adhesive wallpaper directly in these rental houses.
Beautiful, practical, waterproof, insect-proof, easy to paste and cheap.
This kind of wallpaper costs one or twenty yuan a roll, which is more than five square meters.
If you do it yourself, it will only cost four or five dollars at most.
Since this wallpaper is very thin, the adhesion is very good, and the operation is more convenient than using glutinous rice glue.
If you want to make sure it is secure, you only need to apply a little glue to the upper and lower sides of the wall and in the corners, do a little treatment, and then stick it directly to the wall.
If you don't look good after a few years and want to change the pattern, you can tear it off and reattach it. ”
