  • Our plan (if we ever get to exchange contracts) is to try and do a lot of it ourselves. I have budgeted 5 years though, so not in any initial rush. Fully expecting to sack of that original plan and cheque book it after a few weeks, however.

  • It took me 3wks to paint one feature wall when our first was ~1yo.

    With Covid WFH + nursery I managed to repaint a whole room in a week.

    Progress, but a long way from when we first moved in and the two of us knocked out rooms in a day.

    Still, my folks lived out of two rooms in a semi derelict house, when I was born and decorated the whole place with full time long hour jobs - so it's doable.

  • The place has 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a living room and a dining room. So we should be able to room hop as needed. I think it's just getting the time to do things and not feeling guilty about leaving the other with childcare responsibilities. But that's just something we'll have to suck up/manage I suppose.

    Flurry of emails this morning discussing a potential completion date of either 11th or 16th of this month.

    AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
