Roof already done, now internal work
Another typical 3 bed single family unit, on a quiet cul de sac. The roof was completely changed as part of a batch job on a number of houses a few weeks ago, so now it’s time to deal with the interior.
All in all, it’s a good property. No major works. The biggest job is fitting out the kitchen. For some reason, the previous owners had started on completely refurbing their kitchen, stripping out the old, fitting new plasterboards to walls….then stopped, as in being foreclosed.
It’s remarkable how often home owners are spending money doing home improvements not long before the axe of foreclosure falls.
We’ll need to fit a complete set of kitchen cabinets, work surface and sink, plus tile the floor. The next biggest job is replacing the furnace. We’ve tested it and found the circuit board cooked, so we’ll fit another unit.
Apart from the furnace and kitchen, it’s just a matter of painting up and sorting out odd jobs, particularly substandard electrical sockets. And new carpet.
We like this property. It’s going to provide a very comfortable home and has a massive garage to rear. In fact, our rental manager already has a tenant lined up for the place. Only foreseeable problem is the contractor we have on it is a perfectionist! He took too long on US037 Courville house, doing it to a standard far beyond the standard city code. Had to be “3 coats” on everything sort of approach, even though it cost their guy in charge quite a bit of money. He’s old school and finds it hard to adapt to the faster pace of meeting code and moving to next job. But, better that way than careless.
