So since the big win I've been traveling my face off banking 50,000+ miles in the sky only to start missing the work life which resulted in this massive project undertaking.
We both really didn't want to work for anyone on top of watching way to much HGTV resulted in heading to kamloops to test the flipping market. This was a full inside / outside renovation consisting of new Hardie siding, new roof, full gut with brand new everything. The only thing we left in this house was parts of the drywall, hot water tank and furnace.
This took 4 months ( mainly because we had 4 vacations planned before we bought this house ) ideally we wanted it done in 3 months but Kamloops had a nack for fucking us. We did 90% of the work ourselves - the things we did contract out was the siding, roof and counter tops. Everything else was very manageable with the help of how to's and YouTube.
First are the before pictures of this massive 4400sq ft house and renovated will follow.

After all of this I can say I like doing this and I will probably do another.
Only downfall is it's hard to get a personal mortgage because I'm self employed now.
