Re: Well here goes, the renovations begin
Good luck Carole
Been ther, done that - but at least I didn't have to live among the mess. We stayed with the MIL, and to be honest I am not sure which was the best option in hindsight.
It will be so worth it when it is all finisshed.
Take care

Yeah, we were quoted just short of $20k if we'd have got a company in. Luckily for me I'm married to a tight arse who can do it himself

I know someone who put an Ikea kitchen in there home and although its lovely you can tell its not high quality it depends i suppose, i would rather pay more and have one that lasted years.

Re: Well here goes, the renovations begin
my old man is very good at DIY but we have an awkward space that standard units won't fit. The kitchen itself is costing $14k including stone benchtops. Appliances are coming in at $6k, plumber/electrician/plasterer is $3000, new sink and tap $1000 and the list goes on and on. We aren't going to be doing this again and while we have the money I am doing exactly what I want.
