[quote=Anonymous]Nothing is cheaper than expected. But things that are a impossible for DIY are not budget breakers if you're already spending a lot of money on a big project. The flip side is that there are so many costs you won't anticipate. Random things like new doorknobs, bathroom exhaust fans, the unbelievable cost of shower glass! The 1800 junk hauls to clear out old stuff, new furniture, redoing your grass or plantings if there's exterior work. I could go on all day. Fwiw, in the end, our project was worth it, and most of my regrets are places where I compromised to save a few dollars. The $350 kitchen sink was a better deal than the $1200 sink, but since you're going to live with that sink for 10+ years, it's probably worth the splurge.[/quote]
