We’re doing a kitchen and bathroom renovation on an apartment that was last updated in the late 1980’s. The bathroom is 4′ x 8′, kitchen is about 8′ x 11′.<\/p>\n
All of the fixtures from each room need to be removed, and the bathroom needs to be retiled. The only plumbing work we’re doing is changing the location of a showerhead (it currently comes out of the center of the tub, and we’re going to move it to the head of the tub) and the kitchen sink (from flush against a wall to the corner of the kitchen). All other plumbing and electrical stays the same.<\/p>\n
We’re going to buy all tile, cabinets, sink, etc., ourselves to control costs, and we’re thinking of using Traemand for Ikea cabinet installation. That leaves us about $12k in labor for the rest– any thoughts on whether this will be enough $$?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
