We got new-to-us second hand appliances and lighting, and new kitchen cabinets and countertops on sale. But it looked so good when it was done, and I sold it for 25k more than I bought it for, just 6 months later!
But when you need something NOW, you kind of have to pay whatever they're asking for it! I think we just got really lucky with the condo to find so many good deals at the same time! |
I definitely know what you mean! We always get a ton of quotes for everything we do... But the bigger things add up as you go along.
-8K for a new high efficiency furnace and A/C unit
-2.5K for a new 6' cedar privacy fence (that we built ourselves... This was a must have for safety for the pups)
-1K for the front picket fence
-2K for new Craftsman style doors
It adds up quickly! We are working on the bathroom now... Taking things slowly because it's expensive!
