Hello,
we are about to purchase a mid-90s terraced mid-terrace house
Living area: 125m² - spread over 2 full floors and 1 attic floor (plus a fully basement)
The wall area is about 400m²
I have some respect for the DIY work. (approx. 2-3 months from start to moving in)
Both fully employed with 40 hrs/week, 1 toddler (2.5 years), parents-in-law live 600km away
Potential vacation for the DIY work 2 weeks man, 1 week woman
Both skilled in craftsmanship
The following must be done
Probably more points will develop once we are in.
Works that must gradually follow after moving in as DIY:
In addition, there are the moving preparations, the move itself, and the possible renovation of the old 80m² apartment (first occupation 2.5 years ago)
As already indicated above, I definitely plan to do a few things myself.
Is it still realistic to do the sanding and painting without getting overwhelmed? I hardly think so - what would be the €/m² to be calculated there? So in point 1, the second part
I look forward to your opinions, tips, and information
Regards Stephan
