ISNT RESTORING EXPENSIVE?
Not necessarily. It won’t cost any more to use the appropriate materials in the appropriate way than it does to use the wrong materials in the wrong way. Sometimes second-hand materials, such as doors, windows and bathroom fittings are not only much cheaper than their new equivalents but are also of better quality and more suitable. Hiring tradespeople yourself and supervising them is another way to economise, although many people prefer to engage a builder or architect to take charge of the whole job.
