House Remodeling Thread (long)

[Trek420]

Zen, nice desk! Looks like a good place to work or create.

Tulip, no. I think I said "remodels all either cost twice as much as expected or take twice as long or both"

I'm interested to hear what you think of concrete. I know only one person who has it. He regrets it because of the upkeep. Says you have to treat it often. OTOH you can have any color, any surface, paint a picture with it, very creative, durable and of course ecco friendly.

Tuckerville, that's exactly what I hope the buyer will say when they come around the corner and see the kitchen!

Tuckerville & Tulip and all, Yes, all hand tile would just be way too much. I'm thinking of the market, somewhat neutral but also thinking of myself. As my cousin the contractor to the stars ;-) said "you don't know how long it will take to sell, do something you will enjoy and like seeing every day". I like the fun of bringing the outside inside with tiles with stars, moon, flowers, and the little kitchen references.

I also had some very :cough cough: creative electrical work that had to be completely redone. The new fuse box is somewhere on this thread
