Re: catching up

Ive found a company that does kitchens bathrooms and laundry renovations I want to get them in for a quote.
I still have to buy tiles toilets bath vanity oven rangehood sink then the flooring.

I hope to then be able to paint

I cant decide on colors for the outside but I will work on it.

OMG that is fantastic Karen, we only have a Kitchen place here, it is so neat they do the whole lot. so the work will be all garenteed by the one company, that is so good.

Oh yes, it is so hard to choose, their is so many colours and combinations, i am lucky because i have to go for the cheapest, so i don't get much of a choice 🙂 .

do you have a good plumbing place to get all the essentials? we have a plumbing place in town that do all the toilets, shower and bath stuff.

Are you going to paint yourself or yoou going to get a professional in?

are you going for the modern look, or heritage?

Re: catching up

Karen please make sure when you get them in they give you a fixed quote, so you don't get caught in the trap of them changing the price.

Re: catching up

Its so difficult to get them to agree to fix a quote because of the unknown factor.

I still havent paid the re blockers I worked out they have overchsrged me by 2000 dollars. They wont return my calls either.

Re: catching up

Yes i understand that, but you said you have done all the demo work, so they should be able to see what needs to be done? if all the walls are exposed and the old stuff out, maybe the way to do it, is give them a max amount you will work to, that way they know they can't go over it?

Oh my Karen, they sound like they are not a good company to deal with, i do hope you can put the reblocker thing behind you soon, it is so hard with reno's, you are right so many unknowns.

$2000, i suppose is not too bad, considering the work involved. it is just good that it is all done.

anyway i hope you manage to get the house of your dreams by the end of it, you so deserve to have a nice home, a calm home, a loving home 🙂
