I bet Home Depot does one of those classes on how to do tiling - that one might be worth having a crack at yourselves if that's your quote.
Just a drop in the ocean, to Lady JG. :nod:

We always do all our own jobs around the house but we want to get the house ready to sell and don't have time to do everything.

Ah - understood. Shame you weren't closer - I'd have sent my brother in law around. He'd have done it for beer :D

You should ask your agent whether not doing the tiling will bring the value down more than the $15K you've been quoted.

I know we should but I can't bring myself to approach a realtor...they all seem so phoney and overbearing.

I din't realize you were selling. Is that to move to Florida? Are you going to sell it yourselves?

Don't know what we are going to do yet. As you know we would like to go back to the UK...but will probably spend most of the year in Toronto. We have plans to do a lot of travelling...major US road trip for starters.

It's gonna kill us to hand over 6% to an agent but I think it's the best way to go...especially in this housing market.

Sounds good - have a wonderful time.

I know exactly what you mean about the 6% :eek: just hope you find a good one.

Holy Crap. I will take a week off, go and take a tiling course, fly up there, stay in a nice hotel for a few days and still only charge you $10k. Deal?

Now the quote I have just had from one of my local workman, including supplies is $968 :eek:
Now my Dad reckons that I can do this myself and has given me detailed instructions. I'm happy to give it a go, any advice?

I will shove M out the door on his bike to Dallas first to sort out Lisa's wall and then onto JG and her bathroom. Be sure to send him back in one piece when he is finished;):thumbup:
