There are times when maintenance can no longer be feasible, therefore, we need to refurbish and renovate.
I've bought an old flat and it was good when we moved in, now it's being rented by the daughter but I decided to refurbish it for her, add more insulation and putting a second wall, repaint it all white as she wanted. Hopefully I can increase the rent by much more. Currently, it's being rented for a pittance because of its condition.
It's quite a big project but it will keep me and hubby busy for the next months or so.
Have you ever repaired and renovated your house?

Our camp needs a lot of work. I guess you would call it refurbishing but it really wasn't furbished in the first place.

We renovated the old house we had before I bought this one. It was an old farmhouse (1884) which had been tacked on to and otherwise ruined by former owners, so we tried to undo some of the atrocities, like pulling up the mud colored carpet and restoring hardwood floors. We tore out a half wall, replaced woodstoves, etc. It was a lot of work, but I loved doing it. The house was totally different when we sold it for almost three times what we paid for it.
