More and more French people are embarking on the renovation of their accommodation. A practice that takes a long time, but allows you to make big savings.
The site visit is the new trend on social networks. They are hundreds to fully renovate their accommodation by themselves and to share the progress of the work on the Internet. Torn everything, spray the plaster on the walls, unravel, fix: these gestures no longer scare Pauline and Antoine. They started the renovation of an old farmhouse a year and a half ago. “We don’t go on vacation or on weekends, we see our friends a little less”she explains. They bought their building for 250,000 euros. If they have chosen to carry out the work alone, it is to have a house that looks like them and to reduce their renovation budget.
Savings, provided you have time. In Gironde, Magalie and Stéphane begin their seventh year of work. They left their jobs for this project. To learn, they counted on the many videos posted online by other enthusiasts. “If you don’t know how to do something, you just have to learn it, learn to ask the right people and get started”According to Magalie.
