FIX AND SELL YOUR UGLY HOUSE YOURSELF! PART IV

    Are you asking yourself, "If all these other guys are making money fixing up ugly houses to resell, why can't I do the same thing with my house?" Well, maybe you can. In this series of articles, I will discuss the possibilities and how to go about fixing your "ugly house" yourself.

    STARTING, STRUCTURAL AND PLUMBING: At this stage you've already have a signed contract with your contractors, you've researched and received referrals on them, you've also seen their insurance policy and verified it. The contractors have given you a time table for when the work will start and end. The time table has been written into the contract with a price reduction like $100 a day, each day past the scheduled deadline.

    The contractors should be starting on any main structural work first. If there's leveling and foundation work to be done, this will be the first project to get started. Any demolition and digging work will start at this stage. It is very important that leveling work be done before most other projects in the house, otherwise you'll be going back and repairing damaged dry wall, cracks, holes and floors. You certainly do not want to start any tiling, plastering, or painting prior to the structural work being completed.

    Once the foundation is level, you should have the plumbing system checked. If it didn't have leaks, or problems before, they may have developed after the foundation was moved. The plumbing would then be the next major project to work on. Preferably the same contractor who did your foundation is also doing the plumbing and is a licensed plumber to pull permits for it. They may be able to use the holes where the foundation was leveled, to tunnel and replace, or repair plumbing before filling them. It is important for all required city inspections to be completed on the foundation and plumbing before any dirt is replaced and concrete poured. Before anything is filled in, you should also go around the house and check the level yourself to see if it meets your expectations. If adjustments need to be made, this will be your last chance to have it done.
