    Just reading these posts and wondering people's ideas and opinions. I'm 26,in a permanent teaching position, renting with friends in town. It has been my dream to purchase a run down cottage/small bungalow in the Galway costal area possibly barna, carraroe and do it up over a number of years. Not to live in full time but as more of a project for myself that I can go to as I get older, maybe for holidays with children etc.
    am I silly to be even thinking of this in the times we live in?? And how much exactly are we talking? I have really no idea so ANY advice be really appreciated. Only talking about a small residence, to keep myself, not make a profit. Thanks

    Firstly, thats a beautiful part of the country and ive live there tomorrow if the chance arose. ;)

    secondly, renovations like this are as much a labour of love as a financial decision. If you look at it purely from the book keeping side you might be dismayed when comparing to what you could purchase nowadays.

    However, striving for dreams and goals are what keeps us enthused and feeling alive, so i say go for it ....


    'How much exactly' is completely relative right now.
    Relative to where, what size, what condition, what works are required, what end product you want etc
