The Town House is a fixer-upper. Again when BV bought the place all he truly cared about was the garage. Since moving in we renovated the basement, living room and hall areas which was a major undertaking since we had to strip the place down to the studs. We did all the work ourselves and BV added to his building skill set. The kitchen and bathroom will likely be pretty intensive as well. We get 2 advantages out of this, it will make Town House more marketable when the time comes to sell and BV gets to refine his building skills. A third advantage is no longer having and ugly bathroom and kitchen.
We have been accumulating(hoarding) the building supplies for the remodel for over the last year so that we have less out of pocket costs when the time comes. This also allows us to buy materials when they come on sale or before they are discontinued even if we aren't in the position to use them. This is tricky habit to have sometimes, right now an entire bedroom of our house is filled with building supplies for several future remodels. We had the flooring for the living room for almost 2 years before we finally uses it, yikes!
