Middle of the renovation

Welcome to somewhere in the middle.
There's no meaningful waypoints, it is nice to have rooms back as we finish with them though.
And motivation is at its thinnest point. With the end seeming further away than ever I still find myself pushing through. Which i am happy about.
It isn't easy getting home from work at 4.30, bringing the sander on the train home and sanding until 6.15 when it is dark outside.
I am really just hoping that this works out.
I am a little worried about things out of my control, mostly the council but I worry more because i am not involved with that side of things yet. I don't understand how it works.
I can be happy though, at the least I will have an good investment property that should be let the majority of the time.
About $270 a week is what im aiming for. Fingers crossed.
Looking into rules about letting out a second dwelling on the property (granny flat) seems that Frankston council only allows Granny flats to relatives and when they move out the granny flat has to be removed.
In WA and NSW the laws are in investors favour.
I think i will hang out a little and see if something changes on this front.
