7 Things Everyone Should Know About Renovating Their Home
Are you planning to renovate your house? Or would you like to renovate your house but are too scared or don’t know where to start? Or are you in the middle of renovations but feel like you’re missing a trick?
Well you are in luck: here is Lisa’s 100% honest take on what she wished someone had told her before undertaking a top-to-bottom renovation of an East London Victorian home. It is written by Lisa herself and is exactly the kind of post Lisa would have loved to read before starting on her renovation journey.
From Lisa: I can hands up say that we bit off more than we could chew, especially when we had so much else going on in our lives. Would I do it again? I am not sure.
I don’t think I would do the same again, at least not at the same pace and over winter. That was a bad idea! And I definitely wouldn’t move into a half-finished house with a 1 year old. I don’t think I had fully realised what we were doing until we were doing it. But having said that, we now have a beautiful house in a great area, and this was the only way we could afford to do it.
So, if you are in the same position, then roll up your sleeves and clear your diary as much as possible as you will need to be on site as much as possible.
