| Subject: | [roatan] Roatan property remodling |
I want to post another question/offer out to the group and see what feed back I get. The house we'er buying is as I've been told called very island style, single wall wood but fairly new, in great condition, a beautiful lot and yard, and a good location on the beach. In order to rent it and for my own family to stay it will need some remodling. I wish I could say minor but what I have is a good shell to start with. Small 2 bedroom 700 sq. ft. Needed now. *Inner walls insulated and paneled, ceiling is done *Wife wants floors tiled *Replace kicthen cabinets and counter *Stove/oven (ele.) *Ref. *Wall AC unit added *A little plumming(PVC) and ele. *A little sanding and varish *Hot water heater replaced *Windows added over screens *Outside just cleaned paint is fine *Possibly a few roof patches, We didn't see any signs of leaks?? (Tin Roof) We'd also like to add in the future a wrap around porch and sliding glass doors for the front door and out the master bedroom. I guess what I'm asking is has anyone done this before and with what results. Do you know of someone who might be intrested. Or if someone on the group might be intrested. Being a 1000 miles away there would have to be a lot of trust involved so I would want to be able to clearly understand your scope of skill sets, referances and if possible view past work or verifiable pictures. Along with weekly updates by email with digital pictures of the work progress. I'm not talking about a professional craftsman although that'd sure be a plus. I could do all the work thats needed and I work with computers by trade. I was raised by 2 school teachers and with the pay they get we had to learn to do all our own work ourselves weather it was house, cars, motorcyle ele., plumming, whatever. So don't be detoured from contacting me if your not a craftsman by trade we could still talk and see. Building materials, I had planned on getting estimates for the materials. Then buying everything here in the states and shipping it all at one time to the island. Please correct me if I'm wrong but I'm thinking that it would be cheaper then buying there even with the shipping cost because of the amount of materials thats going to be need from the list above. Ok I won't ware you'al out here my wife always tells me when I get wound up I can get a little long. Please any advise or opinion is helpful.
