Hello,
So this is my first post, I wanted to bounce some ideas off other forum members.
My Wife and I (+dogs) live in a 1920 bungalow that's in need of an interior renovation. The outside is all finished up looking beautiful, but I can't delay the inevitable, I hate the raunchy kitchen, bathroom, no insulation, bad electrical, etc, etc. This would include all new electrical, mechanical, plumping, kitchen & bath on the main + renovated basement to include an additional bedroom and bathroom. All down to the studs w/ new insulation.
The only way we can get a good deal is if we do all of the major down to the studs infrastructure at once. The thought is the GC picks up all that stuff and I build out the interior after drywall is in. I'm perfectly capable of doing the work having built houses before, the problem is where to live while doing so.
The rental market here in portland really sucks. I haven't really been able to find anything that would take both dogs and be easy to get back and forth to our jobs.
So I was thinking about getting an airstream and living in it w/ my wife (maybe dog can come in...) while we do this process, maybe 6-9 months starting in march after winter peels back here in PDX.
A few questions:
1. I found a sweet used 2013 23' international FB CCD here in PDX. It looks clean, is 47K a fair price?
2. Anything I need to be aware of for parking on the street in front of my house occasionally? I plan to get a permit for the 40' of frontage for construction and loading throughout the process. Maybe its as simple as telling neighbors a 23' RV will be parked there occasionally?
3. Are there any good RV parks around portland where we can hide out and enjoy a full hook up if we choose? Im looking for clean, no tweakers, etc.
4. Is this crazy? Has anyone else done this?
5. How long can I hold out before the dogs get let in? Does it hurt resale?
