I don't know where to start with this post...
I'm going back to pictures from March! I haven't documented on IG much, despite how exciting the progress is to share.
So here it is! My passive income project, which is taking up all of my funds and more, plus most of my energy, but which is hopefully going to be a good investment! An 850 sq ft suite designed and almost fully constructed by my dad with my help. We reused materials, were gifted some and bought others on MP. It has been a very low cost project, since my dad only requires lunch and the odd snack 😜 but since I hired a carpenter for reframing the bathroom and all of the drywall, the cash has been flowing out of my hands like a river! 😬
I'm hoping it will be ready to live in by mid November.
Pictured:
1/2 The stringers for the stairs, inspected by Yarrow, and routered by my dad.
3 The new stairs, painted, varnished and assembled, ready to install (and VERY heavy!)
4 Yarrow helping pull out the old framing in the bathroom, to make space for the shower.
5 The red wall where we cut into the existing bathroom to make a doorway in, above the new stairwell.
6 Rogier cutting out and removing all the floor joists to make an opening for the stairs. They were nailed to the wall with a million spikes!
7 The floor cut away upstairs, for the new stairwell.
8 After my dad cut out the flooring for the stairwell, looking down on the concrete steps below and a little tour of the suite in its framing stage.
9 The beam. It's been here, holding up this floor since the 90's
10/11 A tour of the suite today!
