interiorsmember offered some sage advice: “Do all the renovationsup front. If you don’t, you’ll learn to live with thespace and the work will never get done.” For us all-ornothingtypes, this approach made the most sense.8. You’ll want to make sure you hire the right contractorfor the job. Do your homework ahead of time.Ask around for contractor recommendations, sign upfor Angie’s list and check references. While we tackleda lot of the work ourselves, we hired a generalcontractor for the skilled labor, including roof repairs,replacing old wiring and replumbing the first floor.We met the contractor through our landlord and heseemed like a cool guy. Except that cool guy walkedout on the job! We had to live through one of thosecontractor horror stories you hear about on TV. Learnfrom our mistake: do your research. (I should add thatthe second contractor we hired came highly recommendedand did awesome work.)9. Even if you have all the do-it-yourself spirit inthe world, some things are best left to the pros. Inmany cases, city codes dictate that work must be performedby a licensed contractor. Make a list of whatyou will take care of yourself and what you will farmout to the experts. Embarrassingly, I overestimated myaptitudes one time; I thought I could handle doing a bitof electrical work by following a library book and someYou Tube tutorials. We were literally left in the dark fora week after my wiring snafu. Other projects - suchas painting and priming, landscaping, deck staining,and carpet-removing, - naturally lent themselves toDIY, though admittedly these were some of the moretime-consuming, labor-intensive jobs.10. Invest some time in documenting the renovations.I wish that I had taken more pictures of ourhome before we got started. In some rooms, we hadthe wallpaper half torn down before I rememberedto break out my camera. When I did take a photo, itwas usually only one or two poorly-lit, faraway shotsof each room, rather than several and from varyingangles. Now I can barely remember what our homelooked like prior to all the changes. Trust me, you’regoing to want those photos so you can puff up yourchest at the end of a long rehab and say, “We’ve comea long way, baby!”38 Holl & Lane, Issue 2
