How to Rehab a Shed?
I have a 11 ft by 28 ft shed I am looking to rehab and live in as a one room efficiency. Problem is, it needs a lot of work. I'm a woman so I really don't know much about these kind of things, and would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions. It has large cracks in the walls that need to be filled, it needs carpet, need to install a toilet (Does anyone know the exact process I have to go through to do this?? It currently has no toilet or running water hooked up or even on the premises), and reinstall electric to the small building (it had electric at one time, but hasn't for years, I'm sure it will need brand new wiring and such.) It has 5 very small windows, that will also need replaced I'm sure. Can anyone help me with this??
Had a new roof put on it a couple years ago, but it now leaks and some of wood is now turning black... (It was more of a temporary roof then anything. I'm thinking it may need to be replaced. I have pictures of the property in its current run down condition, I'll try to post soon. So my question is, does anyone know where I can go to get these major things replaced? Like what stores and how much do you think they will run? I need a guesstimate of about how much it will cost for supplies to fix the property. Money is tight but I'm trying to stretch my dollars! All the labor will be performed by me and help. No worries about heat, it currently has a wood burning stove in it that's going to stay. Anyone that can offer any help or suggestions on how to go about this, please reply! Your help is appreaciated!
