RENOVATING? THROW OUT THE BUDGET... AND ALLOW DOUBLE THE TIME
RENOVATING?  BE PREPARED TO BUDGET FOR MORE TIME & MONEY!!For those of you who have lived through the renovation process of a kitchen, in particular, you know how frustrating it can be… not to mention the inconvenience 
Although the time frame for this work will be carefully planned, be prepared for the unknown when they start breaking down the walls... or when parts don't arrive on time, or something is installed incorrectly and has to be removed, corrected and re-installed.
I went through that process a few years ago and was having one wall pushed back about 2 feet to enlarge my kitchen and they found something rather worrisome.  One of my support walls was resting on a 2 x 4, and not being supported by any beam in the basement.  In fact my oversize refrigerator has been in that spot for 6 years now, and I’m fortunate my whole floor, and house has not collapsed.
So after the second day of renovations, its already costing me more money and an extra three days to fix the problem.  I’m trying to remain calm…. and keep focused on the end result.
More recenlty, I went through an en-suite renovation... time frame quoted 3 weeks... here it is 7 weeks ... more
