Remodeling projects.

[lincpimp]

I also redid my kitchen recently. Removed a wall, rewired one side of the house (the orignal electrician wired thru a fir down that I had to remove, asshat...) moved gas and water lines and welded up and installed a 15' steel I beam and steel columns. Also had to demo around 1500lbs of bricks and move them manually... Allotted 12 grand inc the 3800 for quartz countertops and 5000 for the apliances. Spent the rest on a cabinet and some lighting and plumbing. God only knows what labor would have cost, maybe 15 grand...

Also plan to redo my closet, extend it into the attic space and double the size. Should be fun, attic work in the summer.

I never do attic work during the daylight hours, because of the heat. Put in some really good lighting even if only temporary. You can also open up one of your A/C ducts while you do the job and help to keep things a bit cooler while you work, than seal the duct back up. Plus do the work at night, when things cool down somewhat. Doing custom work of any kind is always a treat, because you get to do it your way, and don't have to explain crap to some half whit so he can screw it up and charge you through the nose for his version or interpritation of your expectations.
