I bought a house a few weeks ago. It was the right thing to do, we were tired of renting and were ready for our own place. But we live in an expensive area (Metro DC) and don't have super fancy jobs so we got a big house (relatively) that needs work.
So far we've pulled out all of the carpet, completely disassembled the bathroom, and decided to move the kitchen. We need to move in by the end of the month, mind you.
All we need to do to be move in ready is reassemble the bathroom and the kitchen and refinish the floors, no biggie right? Except we're doing most of that ourselves, with support from our extended families, who all live 3 hours away and have been more than generous with their time so far but do not have infinite availability.
I'm swinging between hyperventilating and being sure that it'll all get done and be fabulous.
I'm going to post some project pics as they happen in here, I figure some of you own or semi-own some property that you've done work to or want to show off? If you don't then holy shit man, try to buy a house you can move right into, I am confident that it would be much easier than what we've decided to do.

But if they are honest house elves don't kill them or you'll suffer terrible bad luck.
but they're listening to every word I say
luckily the property appreciation has offset almost every nickel I've had to spend
we also talk about other random shit and clown upon each other
This is my carpet and some of my window dressings:
You are moving straight into the early 70s!
That will be a sweet bar and hangout area when you're done with it though.
but they're listening to every word I say
best of luck friend
Acutally, I think the wainscoting is pretty sweet and the fireplace. You might be able to do a Neoartdeco thing. Some roaring 20's updated, classy bar style.

Just get rid of the paneling please.
Wanna drink a Harvey Wallbanger in that bar.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
Well, that wallpaper has got to go, but the bar and the wainscoting should stay. That built in bench is awesome. The fireplace should stay. Ceiling needs work. Metal tiles would be nice.
Honestly you could really class it up and modernize without too much work.
