Hello everyone,
I am buying a house and I hope to turn it into a home. The house needs some repairs and it is a foreclosure. I am trying to figure out how much of the work I should try and do my self and I was wondering if you guys could help me decide which would be easy projects and which would not be so easy. So here is what I am planning on doing:
Hanging dry wall ( some of it is ceiling drywall for a bathroom)
Repairing water damaged wood floors.
Removing molded drywall and replacing.
Repairing broken tiles in the kitchen (about 8)
Replacing all of the bedroom doors in teh house ( 6 )
Replacing all the ceiling fans ( 6 )
Refinishing and staining all the hardwood floors through out the house. ( 1800 sq ft)
Installing a bathroom sink
Installing a new front door.
Putting blown-in cellulose insulation in the attic.
Also, will it matter what order I do these repairs in? For example, would i want to drywall first then do refinishing of floors ?
Thank you so much in advance for helping me decide which of these to do and which I should pay someone for.
