Besides all the BS with CO-OP rules and how to work with/around them, I am thinking about tackling a reno job myself after being quoted $22,710.97 not including electrician, paint, cabinets, appliances, or flooring material.
Some photos for reference: http://ift.tt/2wIzzrl
And the todo:
-
Demo carpet + parquet flooring (cement underneath)
-
Demo kitchen tile floor, cabinets and appliances
-
Demo baseboards
-
Demo floor to ceiling partition wall between kitchen and closet
-
Demo the cement block (old bathtub drain) underneath the refrigerator by the door. I will not be able to remove this completely but only have it shaved down as much as possible to hide it / minimize the appearance.
-
Remove/minimize as much as possible the soffit next and behind refrigerator.
-
Demo cement column in kitchen (not fully - it is structural. Only to see what is underneath it as it sounds hollow in some areas.)
-
(May need an electricion to move an outlet or three)
-
Erect wall partitions for built in closets/murphy bed
-
Sheetrock, tape, mud and sand applicable walls
-
Prime and paint
-
Float and lay engineered hardwood throughout
-
Build and install murphy bed kit
-
Install touch latch closet doors (large 1/2" wood panels?)
-
Add support underneath counter stool area to support countertop
-
Install Ikea base cabinets
-
Install countertop
-
Install backsplash
-
Soak in glory
Any tips/advise would be AWESOME. Suggestions for saving some money? What should I pay for? What should I DIY? I'm handy, but not a contractor. I want to have this project completed with a reletively quick turn-around time. Also, does anyone have experience with panel front refigerators and Ikea cabinets? Thank-you all in advance!
