We did it! Sweeping southern views down the bay from all the rear windows. New roof. New plumbing and wiring. Added a downstairs bath and Master Bedroom upstairs. Remodeled kitchen retaining the original features. The bad news.....the stock market crashed weeks after we finished and the real estate market went south for 10 years. We quickly learned about liquidity in a down market. The demise of a renovation zealot. |
