    I bought a wreck of a place 18 months ago. I paid cash for the property and got it at a good price. I had some cash to start renovations . The cash allocated to renovations did not cover the full list of things that needed doing. I did major jobs to make the place liveable and safe. I have continued to save every penny I can and am working through the list in order of priority. Cash allowing I hope to have the renovations completed by the end of 2024.

    There is no rush, I bought my house 17 years ago for my son and I. I still have so much to do. It is not Instagram worthy but its home cosy, clean and ours. You will make it yours and there is no time limit. Costs, budget and time are all huge factors.. enjoy as a home is a marathon not a sprint. Exciting time for you x

    You've done so well! The fun bit is getting to redecorate.

    I really needed to see this today. My husband and I split unexpectedly before Christmas and I was totally blindsided. We are now trying to sell our house and I may only be able to afford a small fixer-upper (I do appreciate that I’m lucky to be able to afford anything at all). I was terrified of this as I am the most impractical person I know with zero maintenance and DIY skills but you are giving me all the confidence and inspiration I need to pull up my big girl pants. Thank you for that, and good luck with the continuing renovations, can’t wait to see how you’re getting on.

    I think it is much improved, the prep work is always the hardest and time consuming. Well done it looks a lovely home for you and the boys.

    I hope you are incredibly proud of yourself because you absolutely should be. You are amazing! You're creating not just a beautiful space to live but a safe haven for you and your boys and you're doing it all yourself. ❤

    The floors are gorgeous, I'd love to see them refinished and not covered up, could also see a runner up those stairs. It's gonna be gorgeous regardless as it'll be your home xx take care and remember to see past now and the struggle and look forward to the amazing amount of new memories you will make in your new sanctuary x

    Always looks worse before it gets better. It’ll be lovely soon. You’ve worked really hard and soon it’ll be the home you want it to be xxx

    Yes you will feel overwhelmed but when its finished and freshly decorated it will look amazing! Take care, don't over do it and enjoy your new home. ☺🏠

    You’re doing brilliant, I think these things tend to get worse before they get better. All of a sudden, it’ll come together. 😊

    Looking good. We are looking to buy a house this now and will need to buy a doer upper for our budget. I can see lots of diy ahead 😅

    I'm assuming this is somewhere you are planning on staying for a long time - so there's no rush to get it all done straight away xx I can see all the work you've put in, well done 😊. It's your own place for you and your boys, and that will make it feel special xxx

      Don’t intend to ever move again, I don’t think! Definitely not for a long time ☺️

    Slow and steady wins the race. It will be well worth it in the end. I bought my house 18 years ago and lived in it for many years before doing anything. I saved and did one room at a time.

  • @alisonbutler6743
    @alisonbutler6743 Před 6 měsíci

    I hate doing prep work, and clearing up. We have not even started thinking about decorating here, we need to save some more first as once we start we will have to continue - every room needs doing too, but it is largely just decorating, nothing structural. I am looking forward to seeing your future progress; the only way is up now!

    Hi Nicola! You’re in that weird phase where it looks worse than before 🥴. I’m so happy for you that work has started and you’re well on your way to a lovely new home ❤❤❤
