Have you remodeled your house before? If so, how? If not, would you like to remodel your house?

I would love to remodel my house - my mom had it built in the early 80's and didn't really do anything to speak of to it and it needs quite a bit of work - however under my present circumstances can't afford to have the work done so we shall see what the future brings.

We have done a few renovations at our house...kitchen, bathroom, basement.  I find it very difficult to select products like countertops, tile, cabinets.  There are so many choices and I have a hard time deciding what I like.  In the end, though, its worth it.

I would love to remodel but our house is old enough we question whether it is worth it.

I don't think what we have done would qualify as remodeling but we have put in new counter tops and sinks in both the kitchen and both upstairs bathrooms.  The rest is quite cosmetic: painting, baseboards, ceiling trim.

We are doing some renovations to ours. This week I'm painting my kitchen cabinets. When I'm done we are replacing the floor in the kitchen. Then the bathroom floor and possible drywall. And then the biggie...carpet the rest of the house. Another biggie would be an electric panel upgrade. Not sure about that one yet. We'll see what the budget will allow.

I would absolutely love to...if the money was there.  I want to move a few walls and completely redo the kitchen and bathrooms.  I can do it myself...but the materials aren't exactly free.

I would so love to re-model my house! I would add a balcony to my second floor study with a wine cellar leading into the 1st floor. I would put wood floors throughout the first floor and put granite countertops in the kitchen and every bathroom. I would carve out our crawl space and expand our workout room as well as add a second study.  I would redo the wood shingle roof with a composite concrete tile. Would love to put a fireplace in the master bedroom and a two way fireplace in between my study and the music room.  But alas...I have two very expensive children and a somewhat expensive wife so I am resigned to working long hours and dreaming!

There are several things that I would love to change in my house, but don't have the money to do them right now.

We remodeled our house when we moved in about 16 years ago.  It was a house built by my father-in-law about 40-50 years ago.  We had to practically gut the inside of the house and start again because renters almost destroyed it.  By the way, be very, very careful who you rent to.
