The youtube video below is of my Mum's home, March 2018. She and Dad built it just after the War, 1948, it is exactly 70 years old. It was in good condition but very tired. I gave it a major birthday, it took 7 weeks and then 3 weeks to sell it. Value before work $750k - $800k. Sold it for $1.1mil. Spent $90k.
