[quote=Anonymous]We did this. Very expensive neighborhood and bought the weird, rundown house. So much deferred maintenance issues. It has taken us almost three years, but now the house feels like it is mostly done. We did hire a super intense cleaning crew - almost $1000 if not more. They did an amazing job. We did the floors for $7000 before we moved in. We have slowly painted, patched open areas in basement, replaced the roof, had the entire landscaping removed and replaced, the list goes on but we like this kinda thing and we also hire people when we don't know how to do something. It has been worth it for us, primarily because the neighborhood was good for our kids and our commutes. *And the most important part of our experience has been to laugh about it, not blame each other when something goes wrong or goes over budget, and to be grateful to live where we do. It's been an adventure![/quote]
