    I’m in the building trade myself . Nice one about the tea station. As awful as it sounds for some strange reason when a customer is nice and has tea and biscuits for us, the job gets done quicker and too a much higher standard 😁 these days tradesmen pick and choose where they work as there is an endless supply of work so it is always a good tip to get along with the builder. even though we may seem like a strange breed lol

    • @mrsemilynorris

      Haha strange breed 😂Glad you agree!! Thanks for watching x

    My tip: Don’t be afraid to fire a vendor if they end up not being the right fit. I was managing a bathroom reno on my own and had to fire our plumbers bc of several issues. Had to put aside my desire to be a people pleaser and look out for my own benefit. It was a good decision even if I was a little nervous to do it.

    • @mrsemilynorris
      @mrsemilynorris  3 роки тому +2

      Oh no, I'm sorry you had issues with your plumbers! I hope it all got sorted - sounds like you made a good decision x

    • @hennisdoffman5412

    Currently undergoing a major renovation as well-basement and main living areas (kitchen, dining room, den, living room). Definitely overwhelming especially with two little ones running around, but I keep telling myself this is just temporary and it’ll be so worth it in the end.

  • @iseblakeman
    @iseblakeman 3 роки тому +3

    Agreed about the dust!! We didn’t need to do major renovations, but even with the small renovations it is quite crazy at how much dust gets everywhere! Loved the tips! Thanks Emily, hope you had a lovely day! xx

    Really great tips! Especially tackling one room at a time. We did a whole house reno and did it all at once with a 4 and 2 year old while pregnant. Would NOT recommend it! Not one space was livable.

    Sounds posh but a box of sugar lumps is a lot less messy than a bag of loose sugar for the builders' tea station. I gave them all my ropey mugs and they didn't break one!

    My top tip from my renovation would be focussing on your mental health, especially if you're planning on living on the building site full time.
    We lived on ours and it really is hard after a while. Waking up, working, eating and sleeping on it 24/7
    Be sure to try and take time out away from the job and focus on your diet🙏👌

    Great tips. Wish we’d known all these things when our house was renovated 5 years ago. I’d just had a baby and a 2 year old. We were confined to one room for almost a year. The builders were awful, rude and made so many mistakes. We’re still trying to fix them all now and it’s costing a fortune. Wish we could move house but the location is too handy for school!

    I love renovating.. we’ve been in our home three years now and the only original bits in this house is the outer four walls, every floor has been ripped out, both staircases replaced! Me and my husband have done 75% of the work ourselves. We only have brought in Electricians and Plumbers when we need too... it’s been an amazing process and I’ve got over 2,000 photos of it. My husband is a carpenter by trade but he does most things. Sadly last Friday somebody broke into my husbands van and stole all his tools... all battery power tools gone.. 🥺 just heart breaking, we will finish our home one day 💛🌸 thank you for showing your tips, they are great and dust is my worst enemy!!!

That’s really exciting and positive for all of you to be renovating your family home soon. I love all of the 15 renovations tips that you shared with us. My ultimate favourite renovations that I really liked are make lists of things that you will need to renovating a home. The most important tips that is going to be helpful to you is think about how would you like a plan your home renovation and also take pictures of your home process so you can refer back to the home renovations journey pictures all the time. And I like the tip of only limit your cleaning time when renovating your family house too. A few renovations tips that I would suggest to you is plan each room in your home carefully and keeping thinking about until you are all happy with the home plan because you can’t change once you done the whole home renovation think about colours and design of your rooms and home as well I can’t wait to see the renovations journey too.
