We have approx $24,000.00 budget set aside.
Mandatory renovation requirements are as follows:
- We must correct the structural deficiencies such as the foundation by the driveway. This may or may not become very complicated & possibly very expensive as they will need to dig around and then determine the extent of the work that needs to be completed.
- We must also re-point the exterior brick as the concrete between bricks is 'soft' and if scraped it crumples into dust and falls to the ground.
- The warped hardwood flooring must be replaced, especially the bubble that formed once the basement joyce was raised. this must be lowered & levelled. Will use oak hardwood flooring, the place will look fantastic.
- Chimney to become redundant and to be taken down
Great ROI Bang for the buck renovations to be completed with remainding funds:
- We will be buying a new beautiful front door for Property EIGHT - OUR HOME. Then, we walk over the existing front door, which is a very, very nice one as well, over to Property SEVEN to install that one there. Both properties benefit significantly for the price of one door. New top-of-the-line door handles to be installed.
- New light fixtures to be installed in ALL the bedrooms replacing the existing 1920's original light fixtures. Costco has semi-flush lights on sale for $30.00 each...
- Brand new windows to replace old unfunctional windows. Installed by the person who installed Property SIX windows?
- Ikea kitchen to be added for cheap. Labour provided by our reliable and very experienced handyman who charges roughly $25 an hour. New flooring to be added as well.
- Brand new interior doors to be added.
- Property to be significantly weeded and trimmed while taking out some unnecessary bushes which are trapping moisture against the structure.
