What if I need to do Maintenance Before I Remodel Plan?

Today’s question is actually one I don’t get asked often enough.
Here it goes: How can I get started now on my fun mid-century
home update plans when I have this feeling I should do
maintenance before I remodel?



I don’t get asked because  way too many people assume it’s
the wrong question to ask!  Is this you?  Do you think
you have to take care of some maintenance and repair work
first.  You should replace the furnace, get a new roof on,
repair that rotted deck – before you  can do the fun things.
Before you can start making your house into your home.



I understand the logic of this.  And if you are someone who
likes to work before they play, eat a good dinner before desert
or just generally earn their fun … I get it.  It sounds
adulting and responsible home-owning 101.  



But it this case, it’s the absolutely wrong
idea. 


Here’s the short version of today’s episode: Don’t let
your maintenance to do list stop you from dreaming big dreams for
your home.  All those inspection check list items are design
opportunities in disguise!
