We've had the house since summer - it took a while to find a builder. Is this a mad thing to do during these more economically shy times? Or is this an opportunity for my beau and me to showcase our genius when it comes to renovating properties? I don't know the answer, but I'm hoping it's the latter!
Oh well, love conquers all - no? Well that, and making sense of the floor layout (it was laid out as two flats, now becoming one home), reinstalling all utilities, throwing away all the rubble (eeek - who knew that skips were so extortionate?!), then finally the fun stuff - decorating! After that we are going to sell the property for a bajillion pounds, having spent virtually £0 and become bajillionaires...erm, simple...!
The builder has said the work is going to take 5-7 weeks to complete - give me a valium when come Christmas I'm hyperventilating at the fact that he has only managed to remove one tile from the bathroom and we are bankrupt!
Jokes aside, we found the property for an amazing price. I truly think if we organise ourselves, approach this from a sensible and business point of view, we should hopefully come out of this smiling and having learnt some valuable lessons. Lesson number 1: wear a GOOD mask and goggles - dust is evil!
