In 2019, we moved out of the city and into a countryside bungalow that turned out to need WAY more work than we originally thought. 7 years and £51,000 later, here is the full breakdown of everything we’ve done to turn this place into our home. In this video, I walk through room by room covering the full transformation, how much we spent, how much we saved by doing the work ourselves, our biggest DIY regrets, and the jobs we still have left to do.
