<\/p>\n
For those of you who haven\u2019t been following my house reno series; we bought a pair of Victorian houses that were merged into one home for nearly 40 years. We split them into two properties again \u2013 one as our forever home, and the other as a rental property. You can see all the blog posts in the series here<\/a>. Even though the properties are very similar \u2013 they each had their own set of challenges when it came to renovations.<\/p>\n The rental house reno side was actually in much better shape than our side. Other than a new damp proofing course and replacing the joists and floorboards in the bay \u2013 everything else was purely cosmetic. Saying that, the rental took 6 months to renovate, whereas our side was ready in 3 months. This is partly because there was as much to do outside as there was inside \u2013 but also because we\u2019d run out of steam! <\/p>\n I must note that unfortunately most of my \u2018before\u2019 photos got corrupted and so they\u2019re not as clear as I\u2019d like them to be.<\/p>\n
