Bathroom renovation DIY possible?

Alex W

hi i would like to renovate our bathroom which is very old (i am guessing it was last done in the 70s, bathroom doesn’t have toilet). i live in melbourne australia and i am just wondering if it is feasible for a beginner to buy the shower base screen bath and sink and install it myself? i am reading a lot on this topic and for you expert out there can someone also explain what a wet-sealing is? thanks in advance guys

can you have your house appraised to drop PMI insurance?

I am paying PMI on one of my houses because I wanted to take the downpayment money to do renovations. Can I get any lisenced appraiser to find the new value of the house now that its done? Can I just take that to the bank and request PMI be dropped ?( its a local bank I always deal with ) not an out of town lender.
( assuming that the appraisal shows that I owe less than 80% of the value?)
I’m quite sure of that, we added another bathroom, another bedroom, and all new walls, carpet, and fixtures. it was a total gut job,
I just dont want to drop a grand on a new appraisal if the bank can reject it.
( yes I called the bank and they wont give me a straight answer ) they keep saying call OUR appraiser and have him look at it,
“funny how the banks appraisers always seems to think your property is worth EXACTLY what you borrow”
Thanks in advance,

I am in MI by the way.
