My partner and I bought our first house, from the 80s, and we decided to take on all the renovations ourselves. In this room we removed the old window trim (didn’t like that look), rebuilt the window stud wall and added new plasterboards to that wall and the ceiling (had that removed because of asbestos artex), ripped off layers and layers of old wallpaper, removed the old crumbly floor, insulated, installed new osb tongue and groove on top.
I learned how to skim from watching youtube videos and made a complete mess in the process 😂 but had a lot of fun. Just done with the paint job and very pleased with the result. Probably saved a pretty penny learning all these new skills!
