The Remodeling Nightmare
How many of you dread remodeling?ย
ย
OMG, never, in my mind did I think it was going to be so chaotic, draining, and stressful!
ย
So, last year with the rain my little homeshed office was damaged due to the rain and because I didn’t have the necessary funds to repair it, of course, it got worse!ย
ย
So, this year wanting and not wanting I had no choice but to get the repairs and remodeling on the way before the winter starts.ย
ย
As you know with all the ongoing catastrophic events that we’ve had going on around the world, I obviously don’t want to take a chance and have it come crumbling down on me ๐ that would NOT BE GOOD, right?!
ย
As you can see the damage on the bottom, this little office was actually starting to tilt…OMG, right!!!ย
ย
Don’t let the outdoors fool you, the inside is very, very nice and comfy, as you can see the old color was bright orange!
ย
ย
So, we decided to get the bottom repaired, reinforced, as well as getting the roof done, changing the door (provide me with some more lighting and outdoor vision), but I also did, even more, I had them change the insulation and sheetrock to make it more energy-efficient and of course to SAVE SOME $$ MULA, and although times are still hard, without an office, I can’t WORK!ย
ย
I also changed the inside color as well, I made it a more neutral color, so that it can match my white, gray, Paris, Shabby Chic decor ๐ย ย Having your own personal workspace makes a huge difference, right?!ย
ย
At least, for me, it makes a big difference!
So, what do you think?ย
Do you think, it’s coming out good???
ย
So, what I realized is that making repairs and maintenance doesn’t have to be expensive.
ย
Originally, I was going to do (2 front windows and a glass door), but that was going to cost me about $400-$600 bucks just on the material (And, it wasn’t even the nice expensive stuff)…
ย
So, we kept shopping around and my husband suggested that I do a wide french door, which would still give me the view and lighting that I was looking for, so we started to shop for that, and guess what?
ย
I found a door for under $350.00 on SALE at Lowes (+) I found a professional laborer who installed it for $250!!!
ย
We also SAVED on the paint because we had a 5-gallon bucket that we had used for the inside of our house years back ๐
ย
The sheetrock and insulation, we found it on SALE at Home Depotย and for labor, I was able to SAVE some $$ because my hubby and kids were able to install and handle this task using Youtube ๐ Yup, it came in handy!
ย
SHOP AROUND AND DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE AND TRUST ME, YOU WILL FIND WAYS TO SAVE ON YOUR PROJECTS!
ย
So, I will post new pictures once this task is complete, so stay tuned for the final finish!!!
ย
As you’ll see on my Featured image, I finished the make-over New Paint and Flooring compared to what I originally picked!
