Renovation and remodeling are a part of life for pretty much everyone in Russia at some long point in their lives. Many Russians inherit or buy relics from the Soviet and Tsarist periods that definitely need a fresh coat of paint, and I, Tim Kirby, am no exception. Faced with the choice of going into debt for 30 years or buying something I could pay for with a bag of cash, I chose the option #2. But anything “affordable” near Moscow is cheap for a reason so I have a lot of renovation work ahead of myself.
In this first episode, I’ll show you around the home that I bought, the overall plan for it and tell you how Russians typically insulate their walls. Technology is evolving and This Old Russian House from the 90s needs a ton of work before it can be a place worth living in.
