I was having a lunch with old friends
and we were remembering that time that our friend was looking for his
first space as adult where would like to build also a family, having
weird work schedules only saturdays were free and are been dedicated
for a couple of months to house hunting, until discover a real gem in
a antique building near office.
I was working in real estate agency so
he sent photos of it and ask to do a second visit to say if there was
something to control very well, so I visited I looked and I said that
he was really good and not needed renovation works but being empty
for several years (also if the ex homeowner did renovation works to
sell house with good price) it needed some paint.
So he called companies asking price for
entire apartmen, emails after emails, cost seemed always very high so
a night that all our group was watching a dvd we said: why don't do
it by ourself we are a big group, could use our free week end helping
you, we only understand how paint costs.
See in 2003 I was in my first year of
university and my parents decided to do some renovation works at hour
home, pavement from living room to kitchen to bath to corridor and
paint work, is been a stressful period because we were living there
while workers were painting, we ate a lot of pizza, premade meals and
my allergy for dust wasn't so good in that time, so I spent many
afternoon of university's library...well total cost for this works
was over €7000 and only painter asked more than €2000. So I was honest to suggest to do this kind of work by ourself, saving so a good amount of money!!!
Well day after dvd night we went to
bricolage shop and bought several paint, do job by ourself with
turns, covering floor with journals and old newspapers, is better to
do this kind of work in a empty house.
