We started our bathroom remodel this month after years of dreaming and wishing for this day. This is just the first step on our journey to a complete home remodel. We plan to not just renovate our first floor but add an additional second floor as well. But we have to take it one step at a time so the entire process will be done in stages as funds become more readily available.
I am excited about this new house project because it's just bringing us one step closer to our dream of owning a home that we love and that fits our family's needs.
I have so many ideas on what I want my bathroom to look like and the vibe I'm going for. I cannot wait to finally go shopping for our finishes and fixtures. Before we can get to that part, however, we have to tackle the issues at hand first. Namely, fixing the foundation and re building a couple of walls. We also have to secure everything so it's ready for a future second floor. And as you guessed it, all this takes money. A lot of money.
We were toying with the idea of getting a mortgage type loan but decided against that, going instead with a smaller credit loan. We were thankfully able to secure the funds for this project and plan to pay it off as quickly as possible. Hopefully this will give us an even bigger credit advantage to secure the funds we will need to finish off our house. I cannot wait.
Here is the beginning process on day one of the project.
