Kitchen, bathrooms, yard and exterior will prob have to wait!<br /> Just made an appointment to see some new tracts! I don't think I'll like the small yards but you never know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-renovations-with-kids#post-398483 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 08:00:47 +0000 heffalump 398483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've had some stuff done, like a new roof. When people are working on the house I try to take LO out, it gets hard when it's a long project. My mom lives close so I can just take her there, but even that's hard because I have to pack up all of her crap and I have my dog, plus she just naps so much better at home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-renovations-with-kids#post-398462 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 07:37:36 +0000 T.H.O.U. 398462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it totally depends on the amount and type of work needed. We have done a lot of wall paper stripping, floor laying, and painting before LO was here. Now that she is here, we have done some landscaping but not much else. </p> <p>Most of it comes down to having the money for us. We have a lot of projects we could tackle if we had 100 hours to get it done but we both work FT so for a lot of projects it makes more sense to hire out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-renovations-with-kids#post-398458 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 07:34:47 +0000 Andrea 398458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we did some home renos a few months ago, nothing too huge, but it definitely made me weary of doing our major renos. It's definitely a pain to deal with while you're living in the home. Can you do them before you move in? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/home-renovations-with-kids#post-398456 Thu, 15 Nov 2012 07:30:52 +0000 autumnlove 398456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are there any bees that bought houses that needed tons of renovations...while pregnant or with kids? What has been your experience?</p> <p>A little doubt is starting to creep into my head about taking on a house that will be such a big project. I definitely prefer the look of older homes but I wish this was something we started before 1.5 kids! </p> <p>I had a dream about a turn key tract home last night! And this is why I am posting about homes at at 4:40 AM! :-) </p>
