Renovating Newbies.
Erin and I are diving headfirst into our very first remodeling adventure in the growing city of Columbia Falls. We are about to close on this little 2-bed, 1-bath fixer-upper, and we're convinced it's not just a house; it's an investment and a future rental.
This cozy two-bedroom, one-bathroom gem is about to get a major facelift. We're dreaming big, folks! This place is our canvas, and we're ready to transform it into the investment property of our dreams.
Our to-do list is no joke. We're not just talking about a fresh coat of paint; we're going all-in. Adding a bathroom, remodeling the kitchen from scratch, repainting the whole interior, and throwing in some swanky new features. Oh, and did we mention replacing floors, decks, and adding a cute little shed? This could get very interesting!
Being rookies in the remodeling game, we're quickly realizing this isn't a one-person show. Even if you know how to swing a hammer, you need a solid team. We're grappling with the sheer number of moving parts in a full remodel. From countertops to kitchen cabinets, paint to appliances – the list seems never-ending.
Supporting local is our vibe, but let's be real, sometimes those big-box stores like Home Depot or Lowes have deals that just make sense. It's a tough dilemma between being loyal to the community and snagging a bargain.
For those of us not blessed with the handy gene, finding trustworthy contractors is a whole new ball game. We're on a quest for honest, hardworking, and reliable folks to turn our vision into reality. Recommendations, anyone?
The excitement is real, and we can't wait to share the play-by-play of our remodeling journey. Progress pictures, before-and-after shots, and all the behind-the-scenes chaos – stay tuned for the good, the bad, and all the learning experiences.
We're on the brink of a crazy, beautiful adventure, and we want you along for the ride. From newbie mistakes to unforeseen victories, our Columbia Falls remodel will be a rollercoaster, and we're strapping in tight. Any tips or recommendations from fellow remodelers? Reach out! Here's to making this first-time remodel a success – one less mistake at a time. Cheers!
