yea taking reno's on yourself is a fucking undertaking lol :/
i've always been into reno's and whatnot constant improvements on my home as my dad always has been (every room in our family home was either completely re-done or reno'ed within 3-5 year cycles) but after taking on our "new" 110 year old house, i think i'm done with major reno's outside of finishing if we were to ever move lol..
we sold our apartment and have a closing date of january 14th so now it's a push to get the house to a state where we can at least move in.. took on the last major 'structural' change this past weekend, opened up the wall which divides the kitchen and dining room, there will be a big island there with a slide in range when we eventually do the kitchen. Ran a vent for the hood fan as well as this house has always had a gas range but never any ventilation:
kind of hard to get the feel of the rooms from pics, but this is standing in the living room looking into the dining room/kitchen area, and the studs are the wall being removed:
