Have recently bought a nice semi detached house built in 1910. It's looked beautiful full of all the previous owners things and we thought it would be a simple move furniture in and live. However once empty every botched job looks more and more obvious and there are lots of them. Skirting boards aren't attached in any room. Tiles in bathrooms are awful ...
After moving we redid the living room and our bedroom, we have now run out of money so making do with the rest of the house.
I want to start saving up for the next job but not sure what to do or how much to budget for anything.
Options 1. Tile small family bathroom (only around bath and floor) tile small ensuite bathroom. Repaint both and possibly get new bath.
- Change all doors and architrave (6 of them) new skirting boarding in upstairs hallway and 2 bedrooms. Paint and recarpet all 3 areas.
- Garden replace concrete area with patio, make borders wider and 2nd small patio.
- Convert outbuilding to utility room. Needs floor tiled ceiling plastered and all walls painted. Patio doors and exterior door replaced. Worktops and cabinets fitted.
I'd like to have a new kitchen and a porch built but I think that's a job for a lot lot later!
Any thought on which to get done first?
