Recent DYI construction of a bathroom - use to be a kitchen. We did it for under $6000 - a contractor gave us an estimate of $40,000. Saved $34,000 doing it...

We used top of the line cabinetry, tile, etc and still saved 65% from what contractor quoted.

Unbelievable!! The amount of saving by doing the work your self. What better time can a couple have so much fun together. Great Work there!

Excellent work. If you decide to come out of retirement, I know what you could do and very well at that! So, where did the kitchen end up?

So, now that your marriage has been "enriched" as you put it, what room are you tackling next?
That is very nice work, by the way!

Awesome! I'm a non-so-young retiree remodeling the kitchen & bath of a '85 house I just purchased - can't wait to post some photos. Love doing the work! Yours is great!

I think my marriage might be endangered rather than enriched if I tried to do a tile project with my wife. Hanging a set of doors once nearly did in our marriage. But glad to hear it went so well, and it looks wonderful.
