Because a five-star Google review and a ute full of tools aren't exactly a renovation strategy.
So, you've decided to renovate.
You've spent approximately 47 hours on Pinterest, saved 300 inspirational photos and already mentally moved into your beautifully renovated bathroom. You've selected the tiles, fallen in love with a vanity that's slightly outside your budget and decided brushed brass tapware is absolutely essential to your happiness.
Now you just need someone to do the work. Easy, right?

Suddenly, that beautiful bathroom is starting to look suspiciously like a research assignment.
Welcome to renovating. The part they don't show you on Pinterest.
