[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're about to do a very major renovation ($1.2mln budget). My plan is to speak very broadly, and also just explain how things cost more than expected.. like "Damn, did you know in MoCo you have to pay a tree tax if you don't plant X trees on the lot? Then you have to get a sediment control plan and just that costs over $10k in engineer fees..." just to deflect the question. Our renovation could be done for half the price if we used lower-grade materials and didn't do certain details that aren't readily visible (reinforced top floor so we can add an addition on top of that later -- tied to an area with a provision for an elevator shaft).[/quote] Well, you can give details on here anonymously. It sounds wonderful (rubs hands together). Sorry, love to hear about grand projects![/quote]
