I’m not sure that ABBA were singing about renovating a house, but if there’s one thing I’ve discovered, it’s that there are your dreams and concepts, plans and detailed sketches … and then there’s having the money to do it all!!
BUT I’M DETERMINED! As my father would say, if you want something badly enough …
Yep, some of you may have noticed that I have “build a boat” on my list of things to do. And some of you (like me) must be thinking I need to put down “become a millionaire” somewhere high on my list. But, I’ve built furniture before on very little from cheap materials and they’ve turned out well. And if you’re willing to do it yourself, then you’re removing a substantial part of the cost!
I should probably have broken this up into a number of different “to do’s”, but what the hell – I’ll just have to update regularly.
My aim is to:- build in a laundry and workshop under the house,
- build a back deck and renovate the front deck,
- build an extra bedroom on part of the deck,
- renovate the kitchen and bathroom,
- repaint throughout,
- redo the front fence, and
- landscape and garden.
I’m hoping to get away with it for A$30k. I like a challenge!!!
