3po3 on Sep 27, 2012I hate the shopping part. I am always paralyzed by indecision, and I always worry I am buying the wrong thing. And, of course, I hate spending money. But the actual project is often fun, and finishing it and cracking a celebratory beer is a great joy.Helpful Reply

Schroeder Design/Build, Inc. on Sep 28, 2012Regarding sopping, you may want to interview contractors who have support staff who help with selections. That sure can ease the pain. They can help you stay within your budget as when you go to a show room there are so many products but which ones can you afford is the questions. They can help guide you along the way. Thanks for the commentHelpful Reply
