Anther Day, Bunch of Dollars

No, this isn't a Sergio Leone story in the Clint Eastwood style. It kind of is like a, "Fist Full of Dollars" but it is to me like a pocket book empty of dollars. This simple rehab has turned into a discussion of what things cost vs. what is useful. A simple thing like a laminate counter top could turn into a $1000 dollar nightmare at the drop of a wallet. Hell, we can cover the entire floor of three rooms with a laminate for what it costs to cover a counter.
We are working on closing this job down and it is like landing an aircraft carrier full of airplanes before it gets dark. Just as you think you have something done, you look at the level and realize that there is no way the floor is going to work unless you take part of it up and make it level first.
My building buddy and his furry friend just came downstairs and I had better get off this machine so he can check his morning mail.
Have a fun day out there.

    Take a look at the premade counter tops at lowes. We did the basement kitchen and bath for much less than $1000.
