We are living in a 6 year old self build while our main house is being renovated but my god is it starting to look tatty....If the cupboard doors are not constantly coming off (hated Magnet kitchen tat), the shower parts are failing, the bath overflow has come off, the bath is ruined plastic scratched (MFI), laminate floor scratched and looking rough. The downpipe and water guttering fading, brass on door handles wearing.....its looking rough!
Do newbuilds look great for the first few years then the cheap tat that was once shiney starts to fad? I had no say in this build but done on the too cheap IMO.
I am getting fed up with it looking so tatty but really cant afford to spend on it as our funds are going on the renovation. The plan is to rent this out (farm tired) to gain some good income but sickens me that we'll have to invest again. I will be looking at holiday accommodation.
The stress of it with the renovation, and discussing spending with the OH with everything else including the business.....spend spend spend....sickens and stresses me!
