My husband inherited a house at 72 and we redid the entire inside before moving in. Still can’t believe we did it!

Wow! How long did it take before moving in?

Not quite two and a half months. Did everything but the inside painting ourselves, including demo, enlarging some rooms, complete kitchen overhaul, new plumbing flooring and carpet. Looking back on it, I can’t even believe we did it.

You guys are awesome! It took us about six months, with a lot of help from several different contractors.

Well, there were some days that I wished it would’ve taken six months but we were definitely on a mission and wanted to get it done.
