Well they turned up, the guys from Interior Harmony were right on time. I sensed that they were shocked at the sight before them. Little did I know just how shocked I would be when they left. The job hinges around some structural work that needs to be done before the kitchen and bathroom can be started. There were “building regs” here and “building refs” there, and quite frankly I was soon pissed off with “buildings regs”. Halfway through I realised that this was getting out of control, there seemed a reason to change and rebuild everything, if I was not careful I would end up spending a fortune. Whilst they were getting their breath ready to embark on the rest of the things to change, I asked them for a “finger in the air” estimate. After a lot of bush circling, he blurted out “could be up to 70k”
“Shit I could have the house rebuilt for that”.
Anyway that will not happen, so now I have to re-think the project differently.
