I hope so. It has been quite a dramatic change from the outside in the last weeks and feels like a completely different place. Looking forward to getting the upstairs done so we can start to get the feel of the interior going.
I think that the value we've added will be quite significant considering all of the big ticket items.
Absolutely. Everything you've done if outsourced to tradespeople would've cost you thousands. Have an estimate how much?
Will find out in January or so, when they evaluate for the loan.
You'll have your expenses tallied up plus a list of things done, the cost of which can be estimated.
Yep. We have gone well over what the reno budget was, but we have added things that we wouldn't have likely managed to do for years using our own resources, so it is kind of like saving money later :)
