PROPERTY SEVEN RENOVATIONS - The Plan Part One

The time has come to significantly improve Property SEVEN via extensive renovations.

We have approx $24,000.00 budget set aside.

Mandatory renovation requirements are as follows:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Chimney to become redundant and to be taken down

Great ROI Bang for the buck renovations to be completed with remainding funds:

  1. 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.
  2. 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...
  3. Brand new windows to replace old unfunctional windows. Installed by the person who installed Property SIX windows?
  4. 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.
  5. Brand new interior doors to be added.
  6. Property to be significantly weeded and trimmed while taking out some unnecessary bushes which are trapping moisture against the structure.
