Hello hello!
The hubby and I are just about to embark on the very exciting and slightly terrifying task of renovating our home. We bought this house in 2005 and have done a few small things around the place but nothing like what we have planned. We now have three young boys and the house is just a little too small for everyone but I can't bear to sell it so we've decided to make use of the space we have and extend the house. We are from a little town in the Pioneer Valley just outside of Mackay and our plan is to turn our lowset, brick, three bedroom, one bathroom house into a four bedroom with office, converting our huge under roof garage into a master bedroom with walk-through wardrobe, ensuite and another bedroom.
Along with this project we are also adding a 9x5m covered patio to the back of the house, a small above-ground pool with deck, a carport, a landscaped garden out the front and repainting the entire interior of the house. I'm exhausted just thinking about it! Hubby is somewhat of a handyman so we'll be doing majority of it ourselves (apart from plumbing and electrical work) but I'm certain I'll be stopping by regularly to seek opinions and guidance from the seasoned renovators! I found homeone while I was searching for a place where I could ask for advice and share the journey and I'm so glad I found it. What a fantastic resource! I look forward to getting to know you all and reading about others experiences.
