How much did you pay for your interior doors?
Comments (3)About $165 for 8' tall, two panel, knotty alder, slab only, no frame. I believe that they had 6'-8", pre-hung 6 panel, solid fir doors for $100. Not sure how reputable the dealer is - they pretty much come out and say that their doors are manufactured in Louisiana, but I have since heard from two separate sources that the doors are from China. www.rennaissancedoors.com, if you are interested....See MoreHow much did you pay for your bathroom tile?
Comments (9)Well I will go first. We did 7 bathrooms. One of those has 2 of everything ( 6 boys share). 5 of those baths had full tile surrounds, pebble shower floors, hex bath floors. Each shower had its own unique deco band to give each its own appropriate look. The 2 other baths are powder rooms and have no tile. All inclusive grout, tile, deco bands, etc. it was the bargain price of 11,000.00. I forgot that the price also included the extensive subway back splashes in the kitchen. Now it may seem like a lot, but for what we did it is a good price in my opinion and many others. I could have easily spent 3 times this amount but did do some stock tile like the Daltile subway, at less than 3.00 per sq. ft. it was really a bargain. Here are some pics. I also included kitchen back splashes just so you could get the scope of how much tile we bought. I must say I have 10 cases of subway left over so that makes it even less costly as I will probably sell it....See MoreHow much did you pay for your drywalling?
Comments (5)This guy is really good - I've seen his work as he did my brother's house (for free), and I know drywalling is an art form, which is why it's the only thing in our renovation that we are actually hiring out rather than DIY. But he is not a contractor, he is a friend of my siblings, and does this for a living and owns all the equipment, but he is out of work right now like so many in this economy. I was honestly expecting between $600 and $900 for someone in his situation - considering we are buying all the supplies and will have them on site and ready, etc. He said he would do it for $900 if we hung the sheetrock. I am thinking I will get a couple more estimates and then go from there....See Morehow long did it take you to get used to your new kitchen
Comments (6)I have several different answers: Getting used to needing some less used item and having it flash in my head where it was in the old kitchen probably took at least a year to get over, even though I had been out of the old kitchen for the better part of a whole year. Getting used to the new cooking appliances and how to get the most/best out of them took almost no time to start, but really a year or two to perfect. Getting used to the way more functional layout took the blink of an eye. I've done almost no rearranging since I settled in, and what I have done has been because of new items that the new kitchen enabled me to use. So no time for getting used to what's where, assuming I remembered (easy to remember where the knives are, but I lost my grill press when I was first putting things away (the drawers weren't lined yet, so I put it in a cupboard) and I still haven't found it four years later after looking absolutely everywhere three times.) Getting used to the way it looks so that I don't constantly go "oooh" every time I walk in took about half a year. I still sit back and admire sometimes, but that frisson does dissipate as familiarity grows. From crush to love. :) Getting used to cooking in general? I had trial by fire. Other than a few sandwiches and the like, the first thing I made in my new kitchen was Seder for more than 25 people. There's none of that worry about messing up the new things when that many people are coming for a dinner which has to be made completely from scratch. And once you've used every single part of the kitchen in one fell swoop, it becomes a real working kitchen. So that took about a week. :) All of it spent prepping and cooking and using everything....See Moredcward89
