I've been having 'discussions' with the wife over the order of priorities to get remaining jobs done in the bungalow we are renovating, and how and when we should budget for them
Some activities will be DIY, but most will be carried out by tradesmen, and we'd like to have a better idea before we start booking them and/or buying materials.
I've got an idea in my mind which order they should be, but I'm willing to hear from anybody with an alternative point of view, or reasons why we shouldn't.
1 - Fit new uPVC rear/kitchen door to determine final door frame position on floor.
2 - Lay engineered wood floor in kitchen and hall (up to kitchen units, but not under them).
3 - a) Fit kitchen units and appliances.
3 - b) Hang internal doors (some which swing into hallway).
4 - Fit MDF architrave around all internal doors.
5 - Fit MDF skirting boards in hall and kitchen (these have already been cut to size).
6 - Paint all door linings, architrave and skirting boards.
7 - Lay carpets in bedrooms and lounge.
Having had the skirting boards cut to size, were told we could paint these prior to fitting, which makes some sense but also seems like it may cause more problems than it solves.
I'd be interested to see what you all think.
Thanks to all in advance.
