How to: Remodel/ Update 1950's Kitchen for low dough.......
It's tough to remodel an old place because many issues can arise. Most of the demand and money in the market is driving new construction.
But...what do you do when you don't have 2-400k for a tear-down and complete re-build?
You make do with what you have, which is something I've always been good at.

2. Concrete walls and floors in some bath and other areas.
3. Old outdated wiring being a potential fire hazard.
4. Lack of modern conveniences many of us take for granted such as adequate electrical outlets, rooms and windows designed with energy efficiency, etc....
5. Old boring tile/linoleum/cabinet styles....reminiscent of the Soviet Union...:boring:
