our new home
this will hopefully be about our new house that we are purchasing in Pascoe Vale South. fingers crossed it doesn't go the way of my last blog, and I forget about it! I'll post lots of photos and start with the ones from the real estate website.
the house was built in the 40s, around 1947. so I'll try to document our renovation and how sustainable we can make it! we hopefully get the keys on January 23rd 2012 (next year). but I'm very impatient.
first stage is drawing this place up, I'm a building designer, yet fairly new and inexperienced. hopefully I can get some good advice, good tradies and use some of my own knowledge and creativity to come up with something I love, livable and in budget! oh yes and that the husband loves too. fingers crossed no divorce!
got quotes for re-stumping the place and next is finding out if it has asbestos, fun! then once we get in I can measure the place and finalise my drawings and look at building permit...we're going to renovate the kitchen and bathroom, build a garage/ studio (for the husband), extend to add a lounge room (and making it 3 bedrooms) and a beautiful garden/veggie patch. can it be done in 6 months?
