I made that sound pretty dramatic now haha Hello all. Thank you for taking me in, I must confess that I have lurked a little and I am smitten with this group!
So the reason behind the title: I am proceeding to renovate a 1000 sf condo, mostly by myself, though I will look for specialized help with the plumbing and electricals that require it. I plan on learning and asking a LOT of questions :hide:
This is my first ever home. I have live here 3 years already, and it's been a worksite since day 1, when the originally hired contractor left the place mid-job never to retrurn. (I am sure I am not the only one with a "story" lol)
The years that followed included the loss of my best friend as well as other life changing events. I think this might be my EAT PRAY LOVE of home renovations, as I need to focus on making positive and beautiful things, taking my mind off hte past and focusing on what can become...
Also notable I am likely to post pictures, ask dummy questions and fixate on pinterest ideas that make no sense; like doing my floors with plywood planks and other money saving possibilities.
I am so happy to be here, btw I am a gal in her 50s living in Montreal.
