We have a great bid for redoing the master bathroom and the kitchen. It is a lot less than when we asked for the bid for the kitchen alone a while back. Dad is already stressed about it and we haven't even bought anything or has anything been demoed. He just doesn't like the fact that we will be in dust and mess again. Dad was the one that said to contact people to get bids for doing these jobs.
At first it was just the master bathroom. We wanted to put in a bathtub as we don't have one in the house. We are also thinking resale value as this was one of those things that people had been wanting and did not see. I had been wanting to redo the kitchen for some time but the cost we had received was just too much - $50,000. I don't think so!
So we tried it again. We asked for a bid. We got one at $20,000 and this included moving appliances and opening up a wall so we can see the view. I guess the contractors are a little hungrier now as the economy has changed. The bathroom remodel was having a bathtub put in and the toilet moved and put into its own little room. Just to change things up a little bit. They would make a pocket door for that room too. Put new lights in that room and over the bathtub. It will require some work but at the cost of about $10,000. Not bad!
We are having someone else out today to give us a price. He has been high in the past so we shall see what he has come up with. The remodeling will just mean that I will have to stay home more while all of this is going on. I will just keep my records and pictures of this project like I did before. History in the making!
