Renovation * * * ok

Hi LadySally!

I hope you're doing well!

Next year, my husband and I will have to tighten our belts, as we have indeed bought a house that needs to be completely renovated... It’s an ambitious project, but unfortunately, our finances will be affected.

Are we finally going to manage to afford it, especially paying all our bills related to the house renovations this year?
Will we be able to move in by September 1 at the latest? (even if it’s not completely finished)

Thank you for your responses, and have a very nice evening

Kisses

Kelly

Hello kelly22,
Are you talking about September 2012??
I can see you making efforts, tightening your belts, but you would already be moving in (gradually), and the bills will also be paid as a matter of urgency. It is essential for you, and even urgent, to move.
Best regards

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
Does that mean we’ll be financially okay and that we’ll be happy in this new house?
Where are we going to have a few unpleasant surprises later on?

Thank you again for your responses, and happy holidays!

Kelly

Good evening kelly22,
There will be ups and downs, not always easy when you're on edge and have to tighten your belt, but it won't all be unpleasant!!! There will also be the happiness and satisfaction of having successfully completed a joint project.
Sincerely
Ladysally

Hi,

When we move into our future home, how will my parents react?
I am currently keeping this purchase a secret, as I want to carry out this project with my husband without judgment from my family.

However, one day we will have to show our house.

With my sister and brother-in-law, we have not spoken to each other since our move … in short, they are giving us the cold shoulder for leaving the house (in co-ownership) and they threatened us to carry out major renovations. Will they carry out their threat starting in 2013? If so, do we have enough weight or elements in our favor to defend ourselves?

Family is great, but sometimes it suffocates us and causes us more problems!

Kisses and see you very soon!

Good evening kelly22,

I don't think you need to know everything about my actions!!!

If you say it now, it risks creating tensions and jeopardizing your plans. But if you say it later, they’ll be upset, yet you’ll have pulled off your move. Because they’ll be faced with a fait accompli. That’s why, as I told you in a previous post, your move is urgent!!! Once the fait accompli is in place, you can say that you’ve bought the house, that you’re doing renovations, and that you can’t handle everything at once, and that if they force you to do the work, you can say that as soon as you bought the house, they decided to do renovations and that they’re bothering you… etc. So once you’ve bought it, let them know.

No, there won’t be as many problems as you imagine; you will have your success and your move, even if your mother is angry and holds a grudge against you, she won’t make things difficult for you.

Best regards
Ladysally
