Ok we are working a deal on a house between Red Oak and Hachie. House has a lot of very nice features but needs a lot of small stuff. Problem is the kitchen looks like someone just threw it in. Who the fuck crams a lazy susan in the corner which makes the sink four inches off from the window. I have been watching a lot of videos online about cabinets and countertops but kinda want to bring in a pro. Hell I can do basic plumbing and not to bad with a saw so who knows. Anyone ever hang thier own cabinets? Install their own kitchen? I know I want to bring in a pro for the floors because F all that bending down and getting on my knees.
Kitchen has apox 40-42 sq ft in counter tops and around 20 something linear feet of cabinets. I also want to rip up the ceramic that is in there and the breakfast nook and maybe do stained concrete or 18 in tile. The kitchen is 14 x 11 foot total wall to wall. Anyone had this done recently and have your final price in hand. I know a lot of things will make a difference but my wife is somewhat practical and is set against granite counter tops. We would also like to knock out some wall if its not load bearing and have a opening to the living room. She wants an arch and I want the whole top of the wall gone.
Any guys on the site do this kind of stuff? I am big on keeping it in the family between my two major sites. Also trying to keep it reasonable. If the kitchen gets to out of hand on remodel then the brand new house I looked at may appear more reasonable. I might even look at some updates in the master bath.
I am very picky about what I want. This house is in a very closed off neighbor hood, no HOA, about 1 acre, has a pool, has a fish pond, lots of double doors, nice ways off the street, and established with lots of trees. Drove my wife nuts that google earth knocked out three of her house choices. I have seen to many people build in a open area only to end up next to a trailer park. No offense to any one in a trailer, its the park thing that usually gets sketchy. This house we got them off 25k on so its at 125k and the brand new one the guy said 160k. Brand new house is no fence, no pool, no shed, no trees etc, south of Ovilla. Its a little bigger at 2100 sq ft but its just the wife and I. Plus I am a big fan of keeping everything on one salary. The new house would be streching that with out a pool.
