Budgets & Costs (Of Our Home Renovation)

CLOUD10
About this episode

When we bought the cottage in 2021 we knew it needed A LOT of work and that everyone else would have torn it down, but we saw potential and I love to save and salvage. We didn’t realize the pandemic and location of the cottage would have a huge impact on how much it cost to renovate. In today’s episode I'm breaking it all down… how much we’ve spent on renovating the cottage, our unique POV on setting budgets and the results from our poll of what you guys have paid for different home renovation projects!
