[quote=Anonymous]You are completely crazy OP. You need to live with a crappy contractor kitchen and forget about creating your dream house. Your children are much more important than living in the perfect house with the right layout and all the right finishes. We've renovated lots of houses, OP, and are about to embark on yet another one. It's so much stress, I can't imagine what I was thinking getting into this again!! New kitchen, new baths, finished basement, adding mudroom, finishing attic, adding second floor laundry room. That's not including landscaping, painting, etc. It's hugely expensive, since we're not moving in until it's all done, and it involves a tremendous amount of work, even though we're doing NOTHING diy. There are so many decisions to make when you do a renovation, and so much time researching everything you want, and working out layouts, etc. I love doing this sort of thing, but it takes so much time away from my family. and my kids are teenagers now, so that makes it a lot easier. But I'd still prefer to spend time doing things with them, and not working on the house. If I could have found a house we could afford that needed no renovations, I would have bought it. We bought this house because it's in the school district we want, and we could afford it. But this is the very last time I'm doing this ever. Next time, it's a condo or a nursing home, and it's going to be new construction!!

Find another house, OP. It's not worth it, believe me. [/quote]
