Do you ever think of the things you would change (house-wise) if you won the lottery? I do!
Win over a certain amount, and obviously you could move (which we would – why would you live in a semi-detached house?), but if you won a less life-changing amount, you could still make some dramatic changes. I like the thought of not having to wait to decorate rooms. We could have our bedroom painted at the same time as decking is being put into the garden. Built in wardrobes? Not a problem. Dressing table? I’ll take two.
Having said all that, as long as we’re in this house, the kitchen will always be the kitchen Barry put in with his own bare hands. We’ve agonised over flooring, and waited until payday to buy the next lot of paint. I’m not trying to say I would’t appreciate the money (I definitely would), but there’s pride to be had in working for it too.
Lottery win? New carpet please! Oh, and enough to replace the windows so we have double glazing would be nice too 😀
Nice! If I won the lottery, I’d definitely put in to replace your hall carpet! 😉
Remove the smelly cave of water under our house!
Then add a hot tub to the garden after its been fully re-landscaped 🙂
And pay for a non-muddy path for us and our neighbours to share. Super!
Good one Charlie! I still didn’t smell the smelly cave, but I believe you. I’m wondering whether we could feasibly scrap the decking idea, and just replace our entire back garden with a swimming pool…
I was just thinking this same thing…how if I won the lottery, I’d buy a fixer-upper and make it fabulous.
That sounds nice, but hard work! Would you do it yourself, or point at stuff and getting people to do the work for you?
I’d go with option B.
In fact, that’s pretty much what I’m doing now (sorry to my lovely husband!).
Exactly 🙂 In the lotto scenario, I have the money to delegate tasks, so I’m just big the “big ideas” person.
It’s the only way to be.
