Message: [QUOTE="Excalibur, post: 3223668, member: 62"] My process sucked, but nothing like that. We were between a new kitchen (blowing out the dining room to add to the space), a new house, or a possible vacation home. We chose the first, thinking we'd have cash left over. Six weeks turned into twelve, we had to do asbestos mitigation from an old linoleum floor because we couldn't get it level without tearing everything up, and the house was so lopsided that everything needed to be massively shimmed to avoid making it look like some surrealist painting. Of course, we did none of the work ourselves other than picking out materials, and used an experienced GC that we know and trust from past projects. Did it make things more expensive? Absolutely. Was it worth it? Even more absolutely. Had we not had a great GC I would have shot myself in about week 3. [/QUOTE]
