A year past, the ceiling in Fiyel Levent's toilet caved in, that was only the start of the issues with her flat's unlucky commode.
A huge claw foot bath occurs to sit in the center of the five - by - seven foot room, creating a good squeeze all that much tighter. To make things worse, it's the couple's only toilet.
"We're likely to gut it," states Levent, who lives in a 2-bedroom flat in Queens. "It's quite impractical. The bath takes up the whole room."
But as she and her partner have found, tackling a do-it-yourself job is really a major attempt, and renovating even a little space can include an oversize cost. Any homeowner who's intending to take on such a avocado green kitchen should really purchase a great calculator first.
"Bad background is really not a crisis," says Ellen Derrick, a professional economic planner (TMark) with LearnVest Planning Solutions. "Saving up and paying money for the job required is the more practical course--and this means saving up for the job beyond your emergency fund."
But you ought to be certain you could manage the higher monthly premiums before you sign in the dotted line--and ensure that the investment will add value to your own house.
