Keitti\u00f6mme per\u00e4nurkassa on v\u00e4h\u00e4n ongelmallinen kohta. Tai, no siis, koko keitti\u00f6 on v\u00e4h\u00e4n ongelmallinen, mutta nyt puhun yhdest\u00e4 tietyst\u00e4 osasta. Nimitt\u00e4in sivuovesta. Sivuovi johtaa kuistin toisella sivulla olevalle katetulle tasanteelle jossa on portaat pihaan. Tasanne n\u00e4kyy mm. t\u00e4ss\u00e4 postauksessa<\/a>. Sivuovi on tuollainen vanhaa tuoreempi keskinkertainen, falskaava ikkunallinen ovi jonka haluaisin vaihtaa. Ovella on my\u00f6s pieni tuulikaappi joka on talvella todella kylm\u00e4. P\u00e4\u00e4asiassa t\u00e4t\u00e4 ovea k\u00e4ytet\u00e4\u00e4n vain h\u00e4t\u00e4tapauksessa ja talvella ei oikeastaan koskaan, sill\u00e4 tuulikaapista huolimatta vaarana on kissojen livahtaminen ulos. Tasanteelle on aikanaan tulossa jonkinlainen catio, eli verkotettu kissojen oleskelu-alue jossa kissat voivat turvallisesti oleilla ulkoilmassa, mutta se projekti on v\u00e4h\u00e4n j\u00e4\u00e4nyt muiden t\u00e4rke\u00e4mpien hommien jalkohin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luulin jakaneeni t\u00e4st\u00e4 nurkasta blogiinkin aiemmin kuvia, mutta en oikein l\u00f6yt\u00e4nyt mit\u00e4\u00e4n kovin hyvi\u00e4. Nurkka n\u00e4kyy aiemmassa, edellisen omistajan aikaisessa kuosissaan t\u00e4ss\u00e4 postauksessa<\/a>. Oven yl\u00e4puolella, tapettikerrosten alla on vanhanaikainen sein\u00e4n sis\u00e4\u00e4n rakennettu komero, joka tuskin on eristetty, eli sekin varmasti kylment\u00e4\u00e4 huonetta. Ihan hiukan uteloittaisi tehd\u00e4 tapettiin reik\u00e4 ja katsoa onko kaapissa aarteita, mutta toisaalta ei yht\u00e4\u00e4n tee mieli l\u00f6yt\u00e4\u00e4 mit\u00e4\u00e4n hiiriyll\u00e4tyst\u00e4 sielt\u00e4. Maalasin ruman m\u00e4ntyoven joskus vuosi-pari sitten uusien keitti\u00f6kaappien s\u00e4vyiseksi ja sein\u00e4t valkoiseksi. Muiden projektien ollessa p\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 takaovea emme ala nyt ihan viel\u00e4 vaihtamaan, joten pit\u00e4\u00e4 keksi\u00e4 muita keinoja vedon v\u00e4hent\u00e4miseksi. Todellisuudessa kunnollinen vedonpoisto vaatinee lattian avaamisen ja tuulensuojan ja eristeen korjaamisen, mutta nyt t\u00e4llaisena pikafiksin\u00e4 ripustin oven eteen kirppikselt\u00e4 l\u00f6yt\u00e4m\u00e4ni kauniin raanun. Valitettavasti raanun p\u00e4\u00e4t oli kudottu hiukan huolimattomasti. Kudetta ei ollut ly\u00f6ty riitt\u00e4v\u00e4n tiukkaan, siksi p\u00e4\u00e4t olivat alkaneet purkautua. Kiristin kuteita v\u00e4h\u00e4n k\u00e4sin jolloin kuvio hiukan tasaantui, mutta kyll\u00e4 siin\u00e4 viel\u00e4 mutkia n\u00e4kyy. Ompelin sek\u00e4 yl\u00e4, ett\u00e4 alap\u00e4\u00e4h\u00e4n jatkopalat sill\u00e4 sellaisenaan raanu oli liian lyhyt. T\u00e4ytyisi viel\u00e4 ommella ainakin toiseen reunaan pieni jatkopala jotta se peitt\u00e4isi oven kunnolla. Koska minulla on melko v\u00e4h\u00e4n vedonpoistajia, ajattelin my\u00f6s hy\u00f6dynt\u00e4\u00e4 t\u00e4n\u00e4 talvena pesua odottavat matot joita en ehtinyt kes\u00e4ll\u00e4 pesem\u00e4\u00e4n. Pinosin kaksi mattoa raanun helman p\u00e4\u00e4lle. Ne sek\u00e4 pit\u00e4v\u00e4t raanun paikoillaan, est\u00e4v\u00e4t kissojen renkkumisen raanun reunoissa ett\u00e4 blokkaavat vetoa. Todellinen tulikoe on viel\u00e4 edess\u00e4 kunnes kunnon tulipalopakkaset saapuvat, mutta jo nyt keitti\u00f6 tuntuu miellytt\u00e4v\u00e4mm\u00e4lt\u00e4 oleskella. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

T\u00e4m\u00e4 nurkka on muutenkin v\u00e4h\u00e4n semmoinen dumpster-fire ettei mit\u00e4\u00e4n rajaa. T\u00e4st\u00e4 on aikoinaan edellisen omistajan toimesta tukittu kulkureitti etu-eteiseen ja sen paikalla on nyt suihku. Sen puolelta pinnat ovat toki viimeistellyt, mutta t\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 keitti\u00f6n puolella ei. Kipsilevyn saumoja ei ole saumattu, vesiputkien l\u00e4pivientej\u00e4 ei ole siistitty ja niiden paikkakin on v\u00e4h\u00e4n p\u00f6lj\u00e4, keskell\u00e4 sein\u00e4\u00e4. Sein\u00e4n alaosassa kipsilevy on ottanut v\u00e4h\u00e4n osumaa ja kurttaantunut. Sein\u00e4ll\u00e4 katossa olleen vanhan vesivaraajan telinett\u00e4 ei ole irrotettu. Puhumattakaan tuosta elefantista huoneessa, eli j\u00e4ttim\u00e4isest\u00e4 l\u00e4mminvesivaraajasta, johon melkein ly\u00f6 otsansa tullessaan ovesta sis\u00e4\u00e4n. No, kuuma vesi ei meilt\u00e4 lopu kesken, mutta kaksi aikuista p\u00e4rj\u00e4isi v\u00e4h\u00e4n v\u00e4hemm\u00e4ll\u00e4kin. Seinien maalaaminen valkoiseksi raikasti tilaa hiukan, mutta tuo nurkka on on silti ruma ja ep\u00e4k\u00e4yt\u00e4nn\u00f6llinen, mutta en oikein tied\u00e4 mit\u00e4 sen kanssa pit\u00e4isi tehd\u00e4. Ideoita otetaan vastaan. Kuumavesivaraajan siirt\u00e4minen muualle ei valitettavasti ole mahdollista, sill\u00e4 muualla ei ole tilaa. <\/p>\n\n\n

There is a bit of a problem in the back corner of our kitchen. Well, actually, the whole kitchen is a bit of a problem, but right now I’m talking about one specific part. Namely, the side door. The side door leads to a covered landing on the other side of the porch, where there are stairs to the yard. The landing can be seen in this post<\/a>, for example. The side door is an old, mediocre, drafty door with a window that I would like to replace. The door also has a small vestibule that gets really cold in winter. This door is mainly used only in emergencies and actually not at all in winter, because despite the vestibule, there is a risk of the cats slipping out. At some point, we plan to build a catio on the landing, which is a netted area where cats can safely enjoy the outdoors, but that project has been put on hold due to other more important tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought I had shared pictures of this corner on my blog before, but I couldn’t really find any good ones. The corner can be seen in its previous state, during the previous ownersip, in this post<\/a>. Above the door, under the layers of wallpaper, there is an old-fashioned built-in closet, which is probably not insulated, so it certainly makes the room colder. I’m a little tempted to make a hole in the wallpaper and see if there are any treasures in the closet, but on the other hand, I don’t really want to find any mouse surprise in there. A couple of years ago, I painted the ugly pine door to match the new kitchen cabinets and painted the walls white. With other projects underway, we’re not going to replace the back door just yet, so we’ll have to find other ways to reduce the draft. In reality, proper draft elimination would require opening up the floor and repairing the wind barrier and insulation, but as a quick fix, I hung a beautiful wall hanging, which I found at a flea market. Unfortunately, the ends of the curtain were woven a little carelessly. The weave wasn’t tight enough, so the ends had started to unravel. I tightened the weave a little by hand, which evened out the pattern a bit, but you can still see some unevenness. I sewed extensions to both the top and bottom ends because the rug was too short as it was. I still need to sew a small extension piece to at least one edge so that it covers the door properly. Since I have relatively few draft stoppers, I also thought I would make use of the rugs that are waiting to be washed, which I didn’t have time to wash in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This corner is a bit of a dumpster fire anyway. The previous owner blocked off the passageway to the front hall, and now there is a shower in its place. The surfaces on that side have been finished, of course, but not on the kitchen side. The plasterboard joints have not been sealed, the water pipe penetrations have not been finished up, and their location is a bit awkward, in the middle of the wall. At the bottom of the wall, the plasterboard has taken a bit of a hit and is cracked. The old water heater rack on the wall has not been removed. Not to mention the elephant in the room, i.e., the giant emersion heater, which you almost bump your head on when coming in through the door. Well, we won’t run out of hot water, but two adults could get by with a little less. Painting the walls white freshened up the space a bit, but that corner is still ugly and impractical, and I’m not really sure what to do with it. Ideas are welcome. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to move the water heater elsewhere, as there’s no space for it anywhere else.<\/p>\n\n\n

Maalasin sivuoven elokuussa 2022. Kuvan oton j\u00e4lkeen olen maalannut my\u00f6s karmit. Sein\u00e4t ja my\u00f6skin tuo valokatkaisija oli maalattu keltaiseksi. Olen v\u00e4hitellen raaputellut katkaisijaa puhtaaksi. \/
I painted the door in 2022. After the photo was taken, I also painted the trim around the door. Walls and also the light switch were painted yellow. I have slowly scraped the paint off of it. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Roskispalo jota my\u00f6s sivuoven nurkkaukseksi kutsutaan. Sein\u00e4ll\u00e4 risteilee kipsilevyn saumoja, ruuvinkantoja, s\u00e4hk\u00f6johtoja ja vesijohtoja. Valkoinen m\u00f6hk\u00e4le on vesivaraaja. Lis\u00e4ksi nurkassa j\u00f6k\u00f6tt\u00e4\u00e4 vanhan vesivaraajan sein\u00e4teline joka on rautaa. Se oli alunperin raudan v\u00e4rinen, mutta maalasin sen ettei erottuisi niin kovasti. Lis\u00e4ksi tuo sein\u00e4 on hukkatilaa jota ei oikein voi hy\u00f6dynt\u00e4\u00e4 koska sitten ovi ei aukea. Tuulikaapin yl\u00e4osassa on pikkukomero jonka oven saranat h\u00e4\u00e4m\u00f6tt\u00e4v\u00e4t kohoumina tapetin alla. \/
Dumpster-fire which is also called the side door corner. There are drywall seams, screw heads, electric cables and water pipes running criss-cross on the wall. White monstrosity on the left is emersion heater. Also up on the wall is rack for the old emersion heater, which is made of iron. It was originally iron colour, but I painted it so that it wasn’t so prominent. The wall is also wasted space, because it’s really tricky to utilise that, otherwise the door doesn’t open. There is also closet inside the wall above the mini-hallway. The hinges of the door can be seen through the wallpaper layers. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Hirmu s\u00f6p\u00f6 raanu, mutta reunoista ja p\u00e4ist\u00e4 pahasti l\u00f6ystynyt. Korjasin sit\u00e4 hiukan ja jatkoin pituutta molemmista p\u00e4ist\u00e4. Yritimme ensin tiivist\u00e4\u00e4 ovea perustiivisteill\u00e4 ja tiivistyslistalla, mutta ovi on sen verran kiero ja samoin koko talo, ett\u00e4 niist\u00e4 ei ollut t\u00e4ss\u00e4 yhteydess\u00e4 apua. \/
Very cute wall hanging, however it was badly loose on the ends. I fixed it little bit and sewn extensions on both ends. First we tried to insulate the door with basic silicone seal and seal trims, but door and actually the whole house are so crooked that they didn’t help on this instance. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n

Vihaan tuota ruskeaa muovimattoa intohimolla. Joudutaan kuitenkin odottelemaan viel\u00e4 useampi vuosi ennenkuin p\u00e4\u00e4st\u00e4\u00e4n siit\u00e4 eroon. \/
