Would you be willing to provide more detail either here or via email? This story fascinates me as someone in a similar situation living in New England! I am completely exhausted and done with the modern 1+4 stick slapped together "new construction luxury apartments" aka won't last 50 years.

Not op, but a good friend of mine did this. Worked in tech by day and rennovated a carriage house by night - all the way from a literal barn to a "fully rennovated" space, all done by himself and friend/family help.

Granted, he's a smart guy, and has people he can call with questions that are outside his expertise, but a carraige house is a cool project as the size is manageable, and each problem is much more suited to the scale of 1-3 people working on it.

Happy to answer any questions via email as well.

I would be happy to supply further information via email. I'd send an email, but not sure where to (profile emails are not visible to other users. :)
