Hi guys,
So after a having a few IPS and doing a couple of small scale cosmetic renos on PPOR's, I'm doing our first buy, reno, hold and I dare say I'll have some stupid questions that need answering. So rather than starting a thread for each stupid question, I thought I could combine them all in here and sound really stupid
I'm just about to settle on an older place that I plan to do the following on:
- Repaint
- Remove wallpaper in one room
- New kitchen
- New bathroom
- remove carpet & polish floorboards
- general tidy of most rooms, including repair to a ceiling in the lounge room.
- light makeover of laundry and tidy backyard.
- makeover of builtins.
- possibly a deck/pergola type thing in the back yard if budget permits, but probably not feasible.
Oh, did I mention its a tad over 400km from home and I'll be a weekend warrior??
So this weekend I plan to strip the old kitchen, attack the wallpaper and prep some walls for painting. After comparing the 'big guns' I've bought an Ikea kitchen which owes me around $2800 including oven, cooktop and range hood. All things considered this should be going in next weekend for the cost of a few cases of beer and a couple of pizzas.
Please pop in every now and then to calm my nerves, answer questions and tell me what I'm doing wrong! I know this would be a walk in the park for many forumites, but I little daunting for a first timer!
First question... how do I upload photos??
Allgood
