So we got the keys to our new house on Friday afternoon ! 

We’ve been hard at the painting and decorating ever since - putting our stamp on the place. 

I'll do some video from there next week...

As i said the other day its’ important to understand and accept your limitations as well as your strengths.

When we buy a property we look for one that needs a bit of work done to A. bring it up to our standards, and B. to add value to it when we come to sell it on further down the line. 

So for us, painting walls and woodwork, sanding floors, hooking up appliances, gardening is about it. Hard work in other words but not very specialised. For the more specialist stuff we bring in the experts. 

It saves you time and money in the long run even if hiring in expert tradesmen can seem pricy at the time. 

The end result justifies the means. 

It’s the same with starting and running a profitable online business. Thats what gives me the opportunity to be renovating a beautiful old house by the sea in a rural part of the country after all. 

So once again I need to say a big thanks to DFM and DEA for doing al the really difficult stuff so that I just have to put in the simple stuff. 

Get the keys to your own castle

Cheers
