I Bought A HOUSE! | FIXER UPPER

[Music] hi guys welcome back to my channel i hope that you haven't missed me too much i know it's been a long time since i posted a video but your girl's back i found ways to better manage my time and so your girls coming back with consistent content okay consistent content for all of 2021 okay so i figured i'd go ahead and start off with the main thing that kept me away last year and a round of applause for me because assist bought a house yes yes i am now officially a homeowner this is not my house disclaimer not my house um but i closed in january and i still have not moved in yes but it's been a long little while um and the reason i haven't moved in is because i am renovating the home that i purchased and so it's been a long process i'm sure anybody who has ever had a renovation done within the city of atlanta will understand my pain because we literally put permits in in january and we are still waiting for inspections and what's today april 9th so yeah it's yeah it's been a process so the process began really smooth i found my contractor shortly after i closed we agreed very quickly on a price point for the renovations we signed contracts and he got started on the demo and you know we are now just waiting on the city to come in and inspect all the roughings for things like the plumbing the framework we added a front porch that needs to be inspected and a few other things so we're just patiently waiting however while we're waiting to continue within the inside of the house we are going to go ahead and move forward on the outside of the house so if you want to see that content i plan on updating that on my instagram page so if you don't currently follow me on instagram shame on you and go hit that follow button go find me on instagram at love morgan grace super simple just love more than grace find me follow me and that way you can stay up to date and up to speed on what's going on with the process of my renovation i plan on definitely uploading some videos and pictures that i've taken at the house over the course of the past couple of months i have been capturing those moments guys i promise you it's just been so much like we have my original projected move-in date was eight days ago and it's been pushed back so many times because of well permitting and the weather delays um weather issues i mean it's it was snowing we had like this little weird like misty snow a couple of days in atlanta and it was just way too cold for the guys to be outside working on the house i actually sent them coffee one day because i felt so bad for them being out in the cold we also made a few upgrades to the plans that weren't in the original budget which required some additional framework check out my next video if you want to see exactly what i'm talking about because y'all it's good stuff okay um not to mention there was also some damage in to the house um we've had some water damage that was done to the subfloors as well some termite damage that was done to this beam that pretty much supports like half the weight of my house so needless to say it was a it's been a lot um to get this stuff done but we're pushing forward the home that i bought originally started out as a three bedroom one bath with a living room and kitchen as well as a partial finished basement that you can only enter from the outside of the house like there's no stairs inside the house to get to that basement originally my plans were to renovate the entire house there's a closet where you first walk in where i wanted to add some stairs going down into the basement so that i could have access to the basement within the house and i wanted to put like a bed and bath down there or some kind of like you know living space for additional living space because i do have a pretty small home and basically once i started getting quotes i was like oh yeah i know you're gonna have to modify these plans um so my main focus was to focus on the inside of the house and and that's the main living area so my plan was to open up the living room and kitchen because it was kind of closed off and then i wanted to update all of the electrical plumbing windows and insulation throughout the entire house we decided to go ahead and convert an existing closet into a laundry space that i can get a stackable washer and dryer in so that i could have my own you know laundry room as well as like a utility closet as well we're going to update the hall bathroom and then there's currently three bedrooms however i'm going to convert the smaller bedroom into a master bathroom and closet so that i can have some more closet space as well as my own personal bathroom and then along with all the interior updates we're also going to update the exterior by giving it a fresh coat of paint we're going to add a front porch for some additional like living space you know i need a little break i can step outside of my porch do what i need to do and come back inside um and yeah and just give the house a facelift you know so stick around so you guys can see how everything comes along if you haven't already go ahead and subscribe to my channel like this video and
