Kitchen Remodel Follow up
By JLP | March 16, 2007
Well, we’re putting off the remodel for another year (could be sooner than a year but for now, it is a year).
Why?
Here’s our reasoning (most of this came from my wife so don’t think this was my idea):
1. Our best guestimate puts a full remodel at around $20,000. We don’t have the cash to swing that much and we DO NOT want to put it on payments.
2. We could cut costs by going a cheaper route with cheaper cabinets, cheaper counter tops, cheaper appliances, but we want to do this right. I’m also not comfortable doing it myself.
3. We have lots of other little projects that we could be working on and we could pay cash for all of those.
4. The kitchen has been a mess for 7 years, what’s ONE more year?
Actually, I’m kind of impressed with our resolve to not take on debt in order to get what we want. It made me think that maybe we are more frugal than we thought! WE just keep thinking about how awesome it will feel to have an awesome kitchen and know that we paid cash for it! Hey, we all have to have a vision!
