House renovation: December 2021
Starting today, we are the owners of a "fixer-upper" house in nice area of South Dublin.
The plan is to renovate it to our liking and turn it into our "forever home". There's a lot of work but we are excited.
Currently we live in an apartment, not too far from Dublin city center. It's a small two-bedroom place. We like it, however it's just too small.
Why a fixer-upper?
-
Competition for houses in good condition was just too high. There's a lot of people who (like me) sold their RSUs at crazy COVID prices, and (like us) didn't fancy being stuck in apartments during COVID.
-
We could not find a house in good condition that we really liked. There was always something wrong - layout, not insulated enough, extension roof right in front of bedroom window, no driveway, etc. So we'd end up re-doing a lot even in a house in good condition.
So here we are.
