as far as looks... i can slap some paint on the inside and it'll look well enough. you should see my first house, it looks like one of those shacks (people tell me they've seen worse though  ) but when they get on the inside they're like  it looks great on the inside...i just did some minor renos inside since i live on the inside, outside is for everyone else to look at i don't care about
when did they reno the white spot in burnaby? which location? |
I honestly have no idea. I just did a quick 30 second MLS search and places came up. Didn't read the descriptions but they weren't 'modern' obviously. But a roof is a roof and people can stop bitxhing about renting. But they'll end up bitcxhing about something else
