They don’t show you the REAL amount of dust on HGTV! 😅🏗️
Taking on a massive DIY Home Renovation and full Gut Job was an absolute rollercoaster. We went from "What have we done?!" during the demolition phase to pure joy at the final reveal.
Turning this crumbling Fixer Upper into a dream home wasn't easy. It took sweat, tears, and a lot of patience to save this piece of history. But looking at this Before and After, it was worth every struggle. 🏚️➡️🏡
Here is our Old House Restoration timeline in 6 stages:
1️⃣ Demolition Day: Stripping it down to the studs (and finding surprises!).
2️⃣ Rough-In: New electric and plumbing skeleton.
3️⃣ Insulation & Drywall: Finally looking like a room again.They don’t show you the REAL amount of dust on HGTV! 😅🏗️
