[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DO it. We waiting too long and just finished ours. I wish we had done it years ago. What a waste live in a subpar house when you don't have to. [b]I think the $50K is probably not too high, [/b]either. In a townhome we got estimates for $30K-$40K.[/quote] That's because people pay ridiculous sums for renovations here. I'm talking paying 50k for one week's worth of work. These contractors are laughing all the way to the bank. One contractor tried to charge us 5k to remove drywall and show an exposed brick wall. 5k. For someone to pull down the drywall and paint a clear gloss over the existing brick. I could technically do this myself. 5k is obsene and we only found this out from asking for a detailed estimate and going line by line. It showed us how we would be getting ripped off. If you're smart about it and do the work you can avoid spending obsene amounts on simple renovations. [/quote]
