2. The load-bearing wall cannot be removed
If the wall base is good during decoration, it can be fixed. If it involves the removal of the kitchen wall, it is first necessary to know whether the kitchen wall is a supporting wall, and it must be removed after the property company agrees.
3. Change cast iron pipe to PPR pipe
