 Our home renovation has begun/Carlos Pueblo

Our long expected home renovation has begun at the end of last year. There will be several sections of the remodel, the foundation repair, the replacement of waste sewer pipes, the new interior paint job, the new hardwood floor down stair, and a new lawn on the front and backyards. I have had some previous houses remodeling experience; however, none of them were similar to this time.

The first foundation repairs and pipes replacement were done in three days by a foundation company. We have paid off $40,000 in full. A final sandy soil injection to the ground under the slab after three weeks for an additional $2,500. Interior painting job is underway. We are very impressed to how the painter and his assistants to perform their job. It is worthy for us to hire painters to do the job. I used to do it for our rental property when I tried to sell them. The total labor cost for the painting is $6,500 in addition to the paints cost.

We are waiting for the synthetic wood or the engineer wood to come. A contract couple of wood floor layers are waiting to continue the job. Our daughter Michelle is very good at the home renovation and she find all contractors for us and we are very pleased. Michelle will give us $10,000 for the hardwood floor. It is nice to have a rich and generous daughter and she is getting more considerate as the time is moving on.

Amy likes to hire gardeners to replace the damaged lawn. She thinks that I am getting old and and not able to do the job. I believe that the lawn requires plenty of water which is also costing money as well as plenty of the rain.
