Wonderful work, congratulations.

I redid my whole kitchen too, it would have been so expensive but lucky I found this free $1000 home depot gift card on the classifieds, its at freehomedepotcashcard.info

I have been doing electrical work since I was a kid, my dad was always building something and I always tagged along and helped out, we hired a plumber to replace our galvanized pipes, but I did the rest of the plumbing. I also researched a lot online. My husband works for a company that builds custom wood furniture, so he has those skills, between the two of us we had most of the skills to do it ourselves. My best advice is to really plan it out and research before you begin, it can be done.

I'm so inspired! How did you learn to do the plumbing and electrical yourself? My kitchen is in desperate need of a remodel, but I'm going to have to do quite a bit of my own work to be able to pay for it. I'll have to replaced my galvanized pipe and knob and tube wiring as well. Any words of wisdom would be great!

I'm starting mine this week----new cabinets and bathroom vanities, alder wood, doulbe faced door panels with arched tops. Samsung Staron countertops in kitchen and bathrooms with intergrated bowls. New floors and carpets in home. remove popcorn ceilings , texture and paint. Can't wait until its done and I pop that next beer when its over. New AC/Heater system was just done. Total budget 20K. (california is expensive)

Ain't that the truth! The kitchen was pretty hideous before.

Just getting rid of the checkered flag window sash brought-up the resale value by $9K... Nice work on the finished product. =D

We are just finishing our remodel ... Very similar to yours in the fact that we tore it down to the studs. Nice job on the tile work, especially around the window!

Thanks for the compliment and yes, my husband and I did all the work. The only thing we hired out was for putting in the gas lines for the stove and fireplace and we also had a plumber come in after we stripped every thing down to the studs and had him replace all of our old galvanized pipes and replace them with copper, so he only did the rough plumbing, we did the rest.

I just realized I replied to the last post with my other log-in, this is cherylstuff.

Excellent job. Looks very nice. Did you do all the work yourself?

[cherylshtuff]

It's called Meganite, it is a solid surface countertop just like Corian. Generally they have to be installed by a certified installer, but we did it ourselves, it's not that hard.

What kind of countertops are those?
