Very impressive neeko!
That's all the sort of thing that I'd like to do - and such a sense of satisfaction when you do it yourself. Were you working at the time?
The roof reno is very cheap - was it re-tiled or what?
When you did the landscaping, did you level the ground at all? And what plants were your winners?
Does your cousin live in Frankston or did he go there 'specially for you?
Yes, would love to see some pictures.
Also, I think you bought at a really good price. I got my place in Jan 2010 for K360. It went up a bit in 2010 and then down to prob K320/330 for 2011-12 and now I'm hoping it's up there again. Hopefully a bit further.
Awaiting photos
Oh yeah - did anyone see the Ironman competition? Wish I'd been there for that!!

When I did the landscaping land was all level. Backyard was a blank canvas , put in pittosporum hedge in backyard for privacy. Front feature tree is a mop top and a crepe myrtle Natchez . Then just transplanted some pland and that's it.
Will get some pics up shortly for you.my cousin wanted to do it I did favours for him .
Here is the link. http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/renorescue/library/?sort=6&page=1
So a 30k increase in value in a little over 3 years taking out your reno costs?
At July 2013 yes.
neeko,
thanks heaps for all the info. I can't use that link right now because I use a work computer and sometimes it blocks sites for no good reason.
Maybe a pic or two?
The plants are a great choice - especially 'mop top'. And maybe a before and after of the roof?
That's ok I'll put some up tomorrow for you. Yes mop tops are awesome it's gone bananas!! It's definitely done wonders for the streets the amount of people that complimented my work not to mention getting numbers off girls at the time was nice So I say enjoy the renos but don't stress over them try not to make it a first world problem and manage correctly and you'll reap the rewards

this place is now under offer after only 5 days, the agent was walking our street today dropping leaflets saying it had
- 1 open house , 5 groups through
- 7 private viewings
- 3 offers
if this got over 380k like they were seeking, seems like its a good sign for the area
