We inherited my mom’s house and started remodeling a year and a half ago. Funding it by selling our house, which meant we had to move in mid reno. 29 foundation piers to stabilize (not fully level), cast iron to PVC, copper to PEX, new electrical panel, new HVAC, all new floors, drywall, doors, windows, cabinets, and bathrooms. The only things that remain are one window and the brick fireplace. I think it would have been cheaper to build a new house. Also working on the outside- new paint, gutters, had to replace all soffits and trim because it was waterlogged mdf. Here’s a pic of my husband’s new greenhouse - used our old windows and fence boards where we could.
Could you please show what the house looks like now, after some time has passed? I also inherited a house like this; in my opinion, it would be more expensive to renovate it than to just buy a new one. Still, I’ll have to tackle it eventually though I must admit, it’s a bit daunting.
Yes, it probably would have been cheaper to buy or build, especially with redoing things after the first contractor, but we really love it. I’ll look for some before and after pics.
