Okay so we’ve determined a miniscule budget on purpose -
$25,000 - to be able to add three housemate to our household!
I’m determined to save the rest for my business' growth. I also need to see if I can really squeeze the dime as we all must these days. DIY time wherever possible. We will do all the priming, painting and finishes and reuse everything we can. Good for the planet, good for the pocketbook.
But still we must move a laundry, split the great room into new work studios for TJ and for me, add a new bath and master closet, renew an upstairs tub, add cabinetry and another fridge to kitchen for the housemates, relocate hallway and pantry storage, add a new deck railing and roof, and spruce up the outside. Oh, and also cordon off a section of the backyard with a low fence for our pooch Dash, so a housemate doesn't inadvertently let him out of our gate when they park their bikes. Oh, a lockable bike rack too.

I no longer have the shoulders or knees for rehab myself
though I tell you, I yearn to do a little tear-out. Oh the pleasure of a
wrecking bar. You can’t imagine how just plain good it feels to yank a wall
down! Plus I no longer have my hubby General Contractor/builder to coordinate the order of workmen. Or
a sense of what this all would cost here in the Bay Area. I need a GC.
Sigh.
