Do you help with other people's houses too?? pretty please lol.... <br /><br />Nice to know that you have switched jobs and houses and neighborhoods and loving it. I read your posts in Jan after a long time as I was studying for the CA bar cuz of our recent move and was amazed how all these changes happenned. And then few weeks later it hit us, my husband lost his job. And now we've settled on the east coast of Canada. From looking at houses in california to now looking for houses here. I am amazed at how unexpectedly everything changed. <br /><br />I have to ask...and please I hope you answer....is fixing and remodeling things in a house less or more expensive than buying a newly customized house? What made you guys decide to buy an old one and remodel it? In terms of cost, I always feel that it isn't worth it to fix old houses unless you do it yourself but I haven't done any recent shopping. <br /><br />I love the windows in the house...the skylights, the master bedroom pictures. I haven't seen any house with such beautiful windows. Feels soo serene looking at the garden...what a find...good job! <br /><br />ariel...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-91792149977202411272012-05-03T00:06:57.887-05:002012-05-03T00:06:57.887-05:00Beautiful.

It was a big reno for a big space and took about half of our total house remodeling budget, but we saved a lot of money by leaving the original cabinets (we're getting new fronts put on for about $400, but replacing the whole structure would have been a couple thousand), and the original sink area counter top (which we don't love, but don't dislike), original sinks, and faucets. I also bargain shopped and coupon-cut like crazy for anything we purchased. Ripping out the old stuff is a big part of the cost (that I had never thought about before) and the tile is pricey (even if you only pick tiles from the "bargain" section of the warehouse). But I do love it and I know it ups the re-sell value of our house too (or at least, I hope it does!).LLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431706155081017734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552008288188142238.post-60740367238071898492012-05-01T19:56:42.601-05:002012-05-01T19:56:42.601-05:00It looks beautiful.

We just made a few changes to our master bathroom (new lights, new paint, new glass shower surround) and somehow it took 2 months, a huge hole, and many margaritas on my part. I am in awe of the fact that y'all made all of those changes, had to make all the decisions that go along with it and people aren't encouraging you to join AA.
