This is a community with a good environment. For many people, living here, the scenic spots such as Baoshi Mountain and Botanical Garden are "just leaving home, lifting their feet and leaving".
However, the houses here are relatively old, and most of them were built in the 1990s. Although the fa? ade was renovated once in 2009, after all, after a long time, some old houses still have many "minor problems" that need to be renovated.
This year, Xihu District will renovate old houses for 80 low-income and low-income families. At present, the design and construction unit has been determined, and the design scheme of 80 households has also been determined, and 12 elderly families are being transformed.
Grandma Liu's house is the first house in Xihu District to complete the aging transformation this year.
What changes have taken place in the old house after the transformation?
Yesterday afternoon, the staff of Lingyin Street took me and the designer to Grandma Liu's house.
The old man is used to living by the West Lake.
I'm not moving.
Grandma Liu's house is on the third floor. The house is quite small, about 23 square meters, but for her, "living alone is big enough."
When we went to her house, grandma just came back from shopping in the supermarket and bought some eggs and mineral water.
Grandma's hearing is not very good, so she has to speak loudly, but the street workers say that grandma's health is quite good.
In fact, grandma's son suggested that she move in together long ago, but she didn't agree.
The old man has lived by the West Lake for more than 30 years. Neighbors, community workers and small shops around her are used to it, and she "doesn't intend to move".
In the early morning of August 7, six sincere and respectful construction workers came to Grandma Liu's house, carrying all kinds of building materials.
The team leader is Liu, the designer of this renovation project.
Before that, Liu had been to Grandma Liu's house many times, mainly to exchange ideas on how to rebuild the house.
"We will first assess the living room and physical condition of the elderly, communicate with the elderly and their families, and then transform the plan. After the plan is finalized, the details of the transformation will also be communicated with the elderly and their families. After the elderly and their families determine the design scheme, they will report it to the community and the street for review. Before we entered the construction site, all three parties had approved the renovation plan. "
During the construction period, the streets will arrange for the elderly to live in apartments for the elderly first, and some elderly people will also live in family homes first. When Grandma Liu's house was rebuilt, Lingyin Street was in Qiushi Village, and an apartment was arranged for her to transition.
Let the elderly live more safely and conveniently, which is the main purpose of this transformation, so the focus of the transformation is on the bathroom and kitchen floor.
Grandma Liu's bathroom is so small that only one person can stand, so she didn't install a washstand at the beginning. Grandma put a stool in it and a washbasin on it. Every day when she washes her face, she puts a little water into the washbasin. After washing, she poured it out.
The exposed wires are stuck in the pipeline.
Handrails were installed on the way to the bathroom.
Liu said that almost all the wires and lines were re-laid in the house.
