In this series, we follow a Christchurch couple in their bid to turn their 1960’s fixer-upper, from a retro rental to a modern home.
If you’ve ever considered buying an older home but have lacked the confidence to tackle something totally outdated, this guide is for you. It’s a whole lot of fun, and not as hard (or anywhere near as risky) as you might imagine.
This chapter brings the project to a close. With the incredible reveal published last week, all there is left to do is wrap up on the final costings and timeline – and gather final thoughts on, if any, aspects could have been improved.
From Jeremy & Alana, and everyone here at Builderscrack, we hope you’ve enjoyed following Project Home. If you’re wanting to get your own project underway, or even just need a repair or maintenance job doing – Post your job today. It’s 100% free for homeowners 🙂
So that’s a wrap! Tell us, is there anything you’d have done differently with the house, in hindsight?
