my advice would be to do the bathroom and one bedroom to start, take them up to habitable standards, then in each room strip the wallpaper then take the carpet out with the wallpaper scraps all at once, it will make clean up much easier. Get a structural engineer to survey the house if you're taking any walls out, before asking, go up into the attic and check if any part of the roof is sitting on the wall, if there than it is load-bearing and will be expensive to knock out and keep it up to code. taking the carpet out will also help to see if there are more hidden issues,and it will probably smell a lot better. Good luck:) and pretty house
Thanks for the advice! Some I was already doing (halfway through stripping the wall paper and then carpet is going once walls have been done). We have a builder coming tomorrow to talk about the wall. It’s not a top priority just get. The new windows and having a mould report done are our absolute top priorities, then replacing the stumps, then we’ll see how much money were left with.
Thanks again so much for your advice. I didn’t know how to determine whether a wall is load-bearing, so that helps.
I agree with Kitty but wanted to suggest that you play that record for the structural engineer upfront.
Lovely house, this is my suggestion obviously budget is a thing but I would make the small 4th bedroom/study a bathroom, then move the laundry to the existing bathroom, remove the wall between the kitchen and laundry to make it one big open plan area with the lounge.
Ooh, I love the idea. I just don’t have the budget 😞
The "combustion oven" is by Nectre. We have the same model and love it! It heats our house and has an oven in the lower portion for roasting vegetables, or whatever. It's very efficient. I live in the US in a mountain area that gets many power outages. So having the woodstove, as we call it, has been a blessing to heat the house. I'd suggest to relocate it into the living room, but you seem to be happy with the gas heater that is there. Just don't discard it! If you can't use it, I'm sure you could get a nice price on the second-hand market.
We have a workshop in the garden a d we’re thinking of putting the oven there so we can still use it
This is very very Beautiful home ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m glad I’m not the only one who can see past how much work it is 😅 there was no competition for buying it
You can paint paneling. I would try to paint the embossed wall paper too. Try it on a small area to see if it will work. I have always loved the old homes.
But to paint the paneling you may want to fill the gaps 1st. We have an old house too. Sometimes you find a treasure worth keeping in there, other times you just end up working something else out. Best of luck
Unfortunately, the wall paper was beyond saving and had to go. There were places in the corners and midpoints where it was badly applied and all bubbly so we ended up going in a different direction.
@@TheAvianAlmanac I am sure you will make it beautiful.
Blessings to you and your family on buying a house.
Thank you, that’s lovely
Wow on the green tub and vanity!❤
A little gift from the 1970s
beautiful, full of possibilties.
It certainly has character
Looking forward to the renovation
I’m looking forward to it being done 😅
Ohhhh WoW!!!! Super vintage I like it 😍
It’s difficult to pinpoint when it was last updated. Parts are the 1930s and other are the 1970s.
@@TheAvianAlmanac its a nice house 😇 a mixed from 1930's and 70's its going to be a nice restoration 😇🥰
The fireplace bricks and mantle are 1930s or 1940s.
Thanks for that. How do you know?
Hard to see properly from the video but if they are brown and sort of shiny with a pattern in the brick, they look like tapestry bricks. Very common in art deco houses, so looks like the fireplace was replaced around 1930s and 40s.
I would knock the wall down now then you won't have the mess later x
Just as soon as I can get a builder to come at the agreed time
Gut it and start over!
I’m getting a bunch of quotes as we speak to figure out the best solution
Wheres the cellar video?
When I summon the courage to go down there
Where is this located?
Victoria, Australia
@@TheAvianAlmanac thank you. And good luck with the restoration.
