Entry #10 ... a nice round number to end our kitchen adventure on. Some math... Our final tally came out to 10% over budget. Not too bad. We forgot to budget for the sink and faucet ...somewhat necessary for a kitchen. We upgraded the floor tile a bit so we went over there. The biggest unknown was the plumber. We hadn't budgeted for him at all. We thought that between the carpenter and Super Jim all of the plumbing would be covered. It was more complicated than we thought. Of the 10% overage here is the breakdown:
24% sink and faucet
22% plumber
20% floor upgrade
19% additional lighting/electrical
5% demo
4% outlet and switch covers
1% dishwasher part
The cabinetmaker (Brown Woodworking) did a wonderful job. His quote was really a final price and he made sure every detail was complete and up to par. The cabinets were about 60% of the overall total price so it is your most important decision in the process. Let us know if you have specific questions that we can answer. Enjoy the photos....
