You hit on a pet peeve of mine, the HGTV bad news report I know they do it for drama for TV, but it still drives me nuts "Love it or List It" is the worst for this I will admit, having homeowners add things or change their minds mid-way through the project can be a real thing but you also have to handle it properly

About done with a complete kitchen remodel and there is one item you missed Watch for the items you think cost very little We found we had $1600 in cabinet hardware because was in with the cabinet prices Changed that once we noticed it We did the majority of the work, but called in people for specific items that we did not want to do Saved well over $50k by doing the work ourselves We did find that the sweeping compound works surprisingly well also It took a long time as we were not fast, but we will be done before the contractors could even start the project

You say “have a budget…” it’s 2022 and the dollar has been printed into oblivion…my budget is “if it’s free or on sale that product has my attention” also my plan is “when it breaks”…these things make fixing a 1928 American craftsman multifam interesting(I had a roof professionally installed) I can not thank you enough for all of your experience you share You have helped me add thousands to my property value and the quality of my life Originally I was looking to rent out the upper for 600 gas included(Wisconsin) Now I’m looking towards $900 gas included You ARE THE MAN!!!!!!!

Amen on the clean up! I hate leaving a mess after a project It's kind of like cooking dinner and waking up to dirty dishes in the sink Meh Even more, tidy a bit AS YOU GO rather than leaving it all until the end A little organizing/clean up as you go will save you time at the end when you are even more tired

I started my renovations and now over budget So my dogs on Craigslist for sale now
Comment from : Justanother Channel

A major expense on a renovation can be financing costs Can you perhaps make a video giving a high-level overview of different options to finance with their advantages/ draw backs, or even just what a homeowner has to do in order to secure financing?
Comment from : JimClass

Man, you must have been over in my duplex that I'm renovating for half of these One room used for storage for all of the decorations and jewelry for the rooms that the wife has bought, all before the rooms are even finished
Comment from : Lusers Log

I am renovating part of my house and by God all you say there is great advice I can't count how many times I had to run around looking for tools I had left "somewhere logical" Anyway, just experience for next time!

When remodeling a miscellaneous room don’t expect to much from the space Set proper expectations before you start Write down everything you want the room to be brExercise roombrTV roombrPiano roombrMeditation roombrCraft storage roombrbrA room that is 12 feet x 18 feet probably can’t fulfill all of those activities So make the decision before you start what will actually fit into that room brNo pianobrNo craft storagebrbrNow you have your goal Write that goal down so everyone involved actually agrees on the goal brbrNow go make a plan
Comment from : Ecospider5

Sticking to a plan is definitely a straight line to failure Stick to a goal The plan to fulfill that goal needs to be fluid So when you open that wall and find a chimney that can’t move Your plan adapts , but your goal doesn’t brbrI’m reasonably sure we are saying the same thing and this is just semantics

One step above paint 1994 house, we have always wanted to do a bathroom remodel We still want to do that but 4 years ago we did New Backsplash, new faucets, new lighting, and removed a wall mirror and installed a 6 foot framed mirror $500 and the room feels new But even more important than feeling new, we feel it’s ours
Comment from : Ecospider5

One way I’ve found to save money is to use cut offs and scraps Let me explain… I found a furniture shop that sales 7/8” plywood to build their furniture The cut-offs are stacked in full sheet equivalent layers Each layer is one to three pieces and costs about 1/4 the price of a full sheet Yeah there are more joints but the price is far less, the plywood is actually cabinet grade, and the smaller pieces are easier to handle Now as far as scraps goes… a local granite and stone countertop company gives away their scrap pieces for free and will cut them & put a profile on them for me for a small fee I thought that the scraps would be very small pieces but to my surprise I was able to get pieces large enough to do a five foot vanity in two sections The point is don’t just go to the big box store or think about buying new stuff Be creative and at the end of the day you may come out with higher end materials while saving money at the same time!

Long story into a question: Member for over a year Broke a DIY rule and hired a contractor to replace my deck 😝 Covered by an existing roof and was worried about supporting it while the posts were replaced Contractor did a great job except the stairs are currently supported by wood braces Contractor said it wasn't in the contracted scope of work to pour a landing that the stairs would be supported by and that it's my responsibility I assumed stairs are part of the deck and would be supported by a concrete footing under the last stair stringer I would do the landing with concrete or pavers after Is this normal or am I just ignorant for assuming they would properly support the stairs? Final payment has not been made

I repainted my bathroom with mildew resistant paint Especially the ceiling Best investment Also did this when I rented apartments with the same color they never noticed
Comment from : Dollis Crawford

I bought a fixer upper that took all of my savings a few years ago (fucking seattle) I saved the kitchen for last Everyday I checked facebook market and craiglist for anything I'd need I ended up getting a whole set kichen cabinets,sink, counter-top that was only 4 years old for $200 Someone bought a flip house and was gonna flip it again
Comment from : Justin Fiorini

I hired a contractor that had been in business for 10 years found no bad reviews or reports to the better business buro I asked if he could do a walk in tub and obtain a tub where the door opened out He said he could I signed the contract, gave him extra beyond the advance to obtain the tub but would not let him start until the tub was on property He didn't know how to get the tub I had to find and order the tub It arrived a month later with the surround separate for a shower His company did the demolition and I had to demand that they haul the garbage that they left in back of the house away before they continued as per contract He told me they could not use the surround and needed to tile and that would cost extra I said ok but I would have to pick out the tile He showed me one inch tile, I picked 8 inch squares, he said that would cost more by $2000 I said ok A walk in tub doesn't work against a wall because you need a little elbow room and you are stuck until it drains so the drain has to work mechanically remotely I fixed that So untitled the tub was set in temporarily and the above problems were found At this point the contractor QUIT Oh, the extra I gave him for parts wasn't needed because I went with and paid for the parts as we went along except for some pipes, half the cement board and some screws
Comment from : Dollis Crawford

This might be a stupid idea, but I know I don't have the money to do the renovations I want to do So what my current plan is to use some of the extra money I have every month to sale hunt for the materials I need, to try and get as absolutely close as possible to JUST paying for the skilled labor I have a garage I don't use, new appliances and saran-wrapped cabinets should be fine just sitting out there until I have someone competent to put ém in for me, just give me those Black Friday Sales on all of it
Comment from : DeDraconis

100 do some exploratory holes , behind the pictures Cut open the wall and ceiling in a few places and understand the studs and plumbing etc I did this on my bathroom and it was big help to know what to expect before demolition
Comment from : Brian Zias

"Pay cash"brNow that's a concept that's money in the bank
Comment from : thesandman775

That's some good advice
Comment from : DSA1 CONCEPT CABINETS

Regarding your "pay cash" recommendation You have often noted that DIY'ing can give you a 300 return on investment So why not build borrowing into your renovation budget, pay some interest on your borrowing, but reap the benefits of your remodeled home?

This is something i'v been looking for brIts a Real struggle Percentag of money to put where at what times I'm an investor brI really like this topic Looking for new ways I need to think about this brSeen this live thanks

Before credit cards if you didn’t have cash you had to save up the money or do without, it helped people learn to budget

Paint Paint Paint! The Restore gets fresh mistinted paint every couple of weeks, and for six dollars a can, it's worth hunting through the colours Mixed two cans of same colour, different shades, and did an entire guest room for $12 Had to cover purple from prior owners kid decor

I’m having to Reno due to water damage and when you only get a depreciated amount of money to fix it is when you get stuck because the insurance isn’t going to pay that depreciation till the work is done!!
