But scaeagles, once the rooms look all tidy, then the furniture has to go. I know this because our glasstop cook top shattered last June. Seriously......probably more than $50K later...yes more than $ 5 0 K, later!
I now have:
Brand new Kitchen (from scratch-totally gutted) and new cooktop with new dishwasher and range hood and refridge.
Brand new Bathroom (from scratch-totally gutted)
Tnkless water heater (you forgot about that one...I'm sure it coming)
Air conditioning (never had it before)
New 6ft wide window (to take out the wall mounted non working air conditioner so we had something pretty to look out at)
New side yard full of concrete and a new planter (for my DH to grow fresh herbs to cook with in the new kitchen)
Several painted rooms (but now the other rooms need paint, they look horrible!)
New furniture to match new paint jobs
New brick facade on the front of the house and a matching porch extension
New front door (old was now looked terrible)
New front lawn and sprinklers are in process
New paint on whole house waiting until lawn is done
I am fairly sure I am forgetting things. But my point....all from my DH cracking my pretty cooktop just to boil some water for spaghetti. All since June of last year.
