House renovations

Renovations are still on-going in our house and will no doubt remain in that state for a good few years. We have completed a few rooms to quite a pleasing standard, but the house is probably less than half-finished (at least it feels that way...). If I have learned anything about renovating a house whilst trying to live in it, it has been the following:
  1. Know when it is time to 'get someone in'
  2. Only take on a task that you know you have the time to complete
  3. Have friends that are a good source of advice when it comes to houses...
My final tip is to use good fixtures and fittings like Murray Feiss Lighting, IE. don't skimp on the quality of the finish. If you can't afford the fitting you want this month, wait a month and get what you truly want rather than compromise on price.
