Remodel & Renovation - One Project at a Time

Doing it right costs much less than doing it over.

Timeline

This is a rough schedule of the work I want to get done in the house. As you can see, it stretches over a two year period of time. I have to stretch the work out that long in order to keep the funds flowing, paying off some of the HELOC as I go, so I can use the money again and again.
