Ep 14. Skydivers and Screwdrivers in New Jersey

In this episode of Beachfront Bargain Hunt: Renovation, we follow a couple from New York who have decided to renovate a beach house in New Jersey. They are looking for a retreat where they can unwind from their busy city lives and enjoy some time by the ocean.

The couple, who are avid skydivers, want a home with a spacious backyard where they can land their parachutes. They also want a garage where they can work on their motorcycle and classic car projects. With a budget of $500,000, they are on the hunt for a home that has potential but needs some work.

Their real estate agent shows them three properties that fit their criteria. The first home has a large backyard and a garage but needs updating. The second home is move-in ready but doesn't have enough outdoor space. The third home has a smaller garage but has a pool and a deck with ocean views.

After much consideration, the couple decides to go with the first home. They plan to spend $100,000 on renovations which include updating the kitchen, bathrooms, and adding a new roof. They also plan on turning the garage into a multi-purpose space with room for their vehicles and a workout area.

Throughout the renovation process, the couple faces some challenges. The home's old electrical wiring needs to be replaced and the change in plans causes some budgetary issues. However, they are able to overcome these hurdles and eventually finish the renovations.

The final result is a beautiful beach house that is perfect for the couple's needs. The backyard is spacious enough for skydiving and the garage is a dream workshop for their vehicles. The interior of the home now has a modern feel with updated appliances and fixtures.

Overall, this episode of Beachfront Bargain Hunt: Renovation demonstrates the challenges and rewards of renovating a beach house. It also showcases the importance of finding a home that fits the specific needs of the buyer.
