Building my own comfortable space!!

And here I am, like a real adult, building that cabinet! Hahaha, this is a joke. But today I was doing repairs in my new apartment.

Y aquí estoy yo, como una verdadera adulta ¡construyendo ese gabinete! Jajaja, esto es un chiste. Pero hoy estuve haciendo reparaciones en mi nuevo departamento.

It seems like the previous tenants didn't really get along with cleaning, the kitchen was full of grease everywhere, there are even greasy spider webs stuck to the wall, I tried to remove them but they are really stuck. that's crazy! I had never seen anything like it. I understand that a spider web forms but that the spider web has grease and on top of that it sticks to the wall. Gentlemen, please clean frequently!

Well, after ranting, I proceed to what I came to share, lol. The kitchen wall has saltpeter and this is because moisture penetrated and the structure possibly had a reaction with the cement. This country is quite humid, in my previous apartment I had that problem but I didn't do anything back then, to be honest I didn't know what to do. Now I am more informed, I remember that I had been painting it and the paint started to peel off, just as you can see in the second photo.

Parece que los inquilinos anteriores realmente no se llevaban bien con la limpieza, la cocina estaba llena de grasa por todos lados, hay hasta telarañas con grasa pegadas a la pared, intenté quitarlas pero están realmente pegadas. ¡qué loco! Nunca había visto algo así. Entiendo que se forme telaraña pero que la telaraña tenga grasa y encima se pegue a la pared. ¡Señores, por favor, limpien con frecuencia!

Bueno, después de despotricar, procedo a lo que vine a compartir, jajaja. La pared de la cocina tiene salitre y esto se debe a que la humedad penetró y la estructura tuvo una reacción posiblemente con el cemento. Este país es bastante húmedo, en mi departamento anterior tuve ese problema pero no hice nada en aquel entonces, para ser honesta no sabía qué hacer. Ahora estoy más informada, recuerdo que lo había pintando y la pintura se empezó a desprender, tal cual cómo se ve en la segunda foto.

I bought a product that is to seal out this type of humidity so that it no longer damages your paint. First you must sand the affected surface, in this case it was in several quite specific places, fortunately it was not on the entire wall.

Compré un producto que es para sellar este tipo de humedad y ya no te dañe la pintura. Primero se debe lijar la superficie afectada, en este caso era en varios lugares bastante específicos, afortunadamente no era en toda la pared.

Once the paint has been removed from the affected area and the dust has been cleaned, we are going to proceed to add the mixture that will help us eliminate this problem. The product is quite watery

Una vez retirada la pintura en el área afectada y limpiado ese polvillo, vamos a proceder a agregar la mezcla que nos ayudará a eliminar este problema. El producto es bastante aguado

While I applied it and in some parts it seemed to dry, I noticed that it looks as if you had put a layer of glue.

Mientras lo aplicaba y en algunas partes se iba como secando noté que queda como si hubieras puesto una capa de pegamento.

After this I have to wait 3 hours for it to dry, in cases like this one coat is enough but I will put two coats, but it will be when I return from work, since I must wait for it to be completely dry.

On the other hand, since I had two hours free before going to work, I proceeded to apply soil to my plant. Since I transplanted it and I saw that it needed more soil because even its roots were visible and there were also like little plants coming out, I don't know why, hmmm.

Después de esto tengo que esperar 3 horas para que se seque, en casos como este una capa es suficiente pero yo pondré dos capas, pero ya será al regresar de mi trabajo, ya que debo esperar que esté totalmente seco.

Por otro lado, como tenía dos horas libre antes de ir a trabajar procedí a aplicarle tierra a mi planta. Ya que la transplante y ví que le faltaba más tierra porque hasta sus raíces se veían y también habían como una plantitas saliendo, no sé por qué, hmmm.

I had to buy some special soil. I miss my mother's house, hahaha, obviously there I wouldn't have had to buy soil, just plant or take some from the garden. Now I am an independent girl living in a city, finding spaces to live with a garden or green areas seems to be a super luxury, plus there are buildings everywhere, you hardly see houses.
