When I got the idea for this project, I had no idea what it would cost.

I read all your posts (all going all the way back) and did what you recommended--asked all the contractors who wander into my office and checked prices on line and in the stores for the materials. I came up with an estimate of 5000 for the custom cabinets I want

My husband kept saying we couldn't do this small remodel because it would cost soooo much. The contractors who come into my office, he said, are all systems guys not finish guys so what would they know? And people on a forum, what do they know.

It took a while for me to find my cabinet maker, a guy who had done some work for us before and who we really like, since I had lost his phone number. But I finally found him, he came over last week and then he called last night with his estimate: 4732. I was right on the money with your help!

Thanks so much!!

As soon as this part of the job is done, I will start seriously pricing Cambrian.
