Home Reno Thread
I have a ongoing Home Reno Thread on another site, but i was inspired by to put it here while i was reading My Basement Reno Project Thread
(Disclaimer, im in no way an expert. But i will accept your constructive Critisim)
*Also note this house is located in BC, about 45 minutes from Vancouver:
(These renos started in October)
So after looking a million places, over the past couple years.
Most not meeting the list of requirements, or else they were way to costly..
This place came, and its a great place.
My only complaint is the lack of land (I wanted some Acreage however my lady didnt want to drive more then 40 minutes to get to work) so i got a sweet shop as well.
3 Bed 2 Bath
Attached garage (for my ladys car)
700 Square foot attached shop, with 10' door. and 220V plugs for my cars
couple nice storage rooms inside
Large Porch
Large flat back yard.
10,000Square Foot lot

Hopefully it wont be this messy when i get moved in the shop
THe house is from the 70's and has had no real updating done to it.. This is the list of things we are going to do before we move in:
Paint every room
New flooring in all rooms
Gut the upstairs bathroom and put a totally new one in
Build a 3rd bathroom upstairs in the master (From scratch) My lady needs a on-suite
redo some of the electrical in the shop/storage room
move the washer and drier (Lady doesn't like the current location)
Install a Patch panel, and run Cat 6 lines to every room in the house/shop and install wall plugs
Install a garage Door opener
(Added: )New Kitchen (Totally new Yikes)
After we move in:
Redo the down stairs bathroom
Complete the finishing on the hallway to the shop/storage room
Get a 2 post hoist in the shop (YaY)
