During the weekend I did a lot at our Vilgāle apartment, fixed some electric plugs, painted walls, and installed the floor, but first things first - it was agreed to save huge on the floor by choosing laminate instead of parquet.
We paid less than EUR 9/m2 for laminate and saved on installation as I did it myself. Parquet would cost about EUR 40-50/m2.
I chose DEPO store in Riga to buy the floor and tools
In total paid EUR 378 for about 32m2 laminate, figure saw and wooden fiber boards (the green ones)
Before proceeding, I had to remove 9 bags of trash from the room
Looks quite cozy already. Unfortunetly that afternoon there was a very heavy storm and our village was cut off from the electricity so I had to pause any works (figure saw needs electricity)
Unbelievable, the room looks very good. There are still some details to finish, but I'm already very happy
Later i will add tiles for the kitchen area
I'm looking to resume works here in June 2022
