Gut a house and refurbish

not if you know what you're doing. A palm sander makes the job a lot easier.

 

we are in the process right now. as soon as we close on our loan, the contractor will begin on the addition (adding master bed/bath) and then the renovation. we sold our home of 14 years last month. right now we are renting til the job is finished, hopefully by april. this house isnt what i would say, falling apart, but it needs alot of work. 1.5 acres, brick, vinyl windows, good roof, full basement, pool, hardwood floors. we are gonna gut the interior and open up the kitchen/dining/living room area. redo ceilings and sheet rock, existing bath, yard needs some tlc, septic tank is a question, electrical too. kill me now.

 

Yeah, even then, it's still a b*tch! Dirty, time consuming, white booger producing, thankless W-O-R-K. I will sub this out next time, unless you want to come over and help?

 

I'm sure you guys can work something out...:newsmile20:

 

I have done some drywall work before and it is not much fun but it is something that I can do with my limited construction skills. Sanding it is probably the worst part....

 

SUCKS!

 

I do not mind hanging the drywall or spreading the joint compound. The sanding does suck though.

 

Yeah, hanging is kind a fun, I'd find a hispanic gentleman to finish it off for you, well worth the money! I'll have some pics to share of what I've done here shortly, it will rival Meatpile's D.I.Y. prowess.

 

Everybody needs to gut a house and fix it back at least once. I've done several. Any bid you get will be just an estimate, you don't know what you are going to find until you start gutting it.

 

well, we're closing on thursday. so the odyssey will soon begin.
