Hi people,
I'm new here although I have been reading a lot and already owe some big thanks to fellow forum members.
We bought a rented out property in July, with the plan to renovate and live in it after the tentants moved out. They did that on 1 October so that's when we started work. Since there was quite some asbestos (walls and ceilings) we decided to have that removed professionally. After they left we removed the living room and master bedroom walls and ceiling.
The whole house has been rewired, and aircon units will be installed in the living room / master bedroom.
I built an attic floor above the laundry for additional storage.
We decided to open up the living room in 2 spots, and enlarge the bathroom (it was 2x2m, now 2x3m). Next up: insulation. Hard work but hopefully it will make a difference. At the moment the bathroom is being done, and next week the sheeters will come in.
We hope to move in before Christmas!
