The foreigner in "Osennij Marafon" keeps repeating about remodeling they've done in the apartment some phrases -- something like "маленький раскардаш" -- Does anyone know the second word in the phrase?

it's раскордаж. a mess.

I never saw it in this spelling. (It is a rare enough word anyway, I would say unusual.) Беспорядок is probably the most generic and neutral-sounding one. Бардак is much stronger, and I would not use it in any official context. Каша is mostly used in phrases like заварить кашу, to create an unpleasant situation.

google it ;)

Google also finds 40,400 results for карова, which, however, does not make this a legitimate spelling.

there are раскордаж and раскардаш just with different origin. gramota.ru tells it's раскардаш. but this is slang anyway.
