First of all a big hello to everyone! From what I have read it seems like a friendly bunch.
The title of this forum is "Introductions", and that is exactly what I am here to do
It's 30degrees outside, the air is hot and still... AND our house looks, well, not great!
We bought our first home earlier this year and tenanted it out until we were ready to move in -just over 3 weeks ago. The house its self is an older style asbestos clad holiday shack. Thankfully, all the rooms are rather spacious and easily accommodating our belongings (and us!). The down side though, we really need a bulldozer!
Before we toss this old girl on the scrap heap though, we've a few projects to complete. Namely, the construction of a new dwelling (to provide both an income and capital) on the southern end of our block and subdivision of the land.
We however, will stay in the old house making it as comfortable as we can for the next five years.
The projects we've currently got under way include:
-Polishing the floorboards
-Painting
-New doors (Both internal and external)
-New window furnishings
-New (cheap!!!!) kitchen
-New lighting fixtures
-Outside entertaining area (paver's and decorative pebbles)
-Tackling the jungle (gardening)
-Roof restoration
And, to top things of, we've set a budget of $20,000
That gets the house out of the way, so let me once again extend a big hello!
