In this episode of the Interiors Podcast, Rob Hennessey joins us on the show to discuss his renovation project on a Victorian terraced house overlooking the River Lee. Rob was the subject of season three episode one of The Great House Revival.
Rob took on this project with a limited budget and no prior experience of construction work. He did have the support of his father, who's been in the construction industry for years.
Rob talks about how himself and his partner Katie moved into a freezing cold construction site, how the house originally had no heating, just fireplaces, and how he was drawn to the house for its character and breath-taking views of the harbour.
Yet again, as with so many other renovation episodes of the Interiors Podcast, Rob tells us about the importance of enlisting the support and services of experts, understanding what you can easily do yourself to save money and what expertise must be brought onto a project.
In this episode we speak about all the DIY aspects of the renovation and how Rob managed to keep on top of his budget, and he shares some valuable tips to managing a tight budget.
Rob's story is truly inspirational, a journey of one man who found a spectacular house that needed so much love and attention, but didn't let that stop him going after his dream home.
You can follow Rob on Instagram @victorian_renovation_glenbrook. On this page Rob shares so many of his learnings, and this will help anybody who is thinking about taking on a renovation project.
I hope this episode will inspire you to not allow the scale of a project put you off the home of your dreams.
