After the city house sells, the country house need some work. I already had to replace the roof, garbage disposal, and the dryer in late 2020. Once I have sale proceeds from city house:
goal #1 for country house: Remodel master bathroom to add a bathtub and update (new sinks/countertop, new mirror, new lighting, remove wallpaper, maybe add some better insulation, maybe add vanity/seat).
goal #2 for country house: New flooring throughout.
goal #3 for country house: Power wash porch and sealant on the porch Found someone to do this, but not started yet.
goal #4 for country house: Paint where roofers removed gutters and replaced some rotted boards. Maybe repaint all of the wood exterior, I’d kind of like a different color.
New goal #5 for country house—build enclosed fence in the backyard with a ramp from the back porch for the dogs.
not sure the extent of 'country' your country house is but if it's kind of remote and esp. if it operates on well water i'll offer up 2 upgrades we've done to ours that are worth every freaking penny-
1/ install a generator that's tied into the electrical system (so no having to drag it out/fill with gas/pick and choose what to get power to...). it's esp. great during the winter if you live in an area that freezes and you have a well b/c that way if the power goes out your well pump is still running so you don't run the risk of frozen and burst pipes.
2/(again if you have a well) install a good quality well filtration system. nothings worse than having your well pull a big chunk of dirt that then gets into your washer/dishwasher lines and can ruin them. we popped for one that includes a water softener so that we can extend the lives of our appliances.
