We had the opposite experience of yours, our contractor handled everything, I told him to make the decisions since I am so bad with colors etc. I gave him 3 choices of flooring and he picked the one that would go best with his custom cabinets. Everything went off without any problems, he was in and out in 5 weeks including taking out a wall, adding 2 beams, laying the floor and molding in kitchen, laundry, living room and hallway. We felt it was worth the $32,000 after 33 years with our old kitchen. I do believe you get what you pay for, we are very frugal but we didn't want our house torn up for months and months. We didn't need to be at the house because everything was so well planned and he could make the decisions that needed to be made on our behalf. I think that is what people pay for when they remodel with a seasoned contractor. Glad your kitchen is done, it is lovely.
Wow, that's wonderful! If we ever were to do it again (and we won't! ;-) I would think it would be better to do what you did and then leave town until it's finished! -Mike
Even the small sample pots are expensive. If you want to try out several colors before purchasing, it'll cost you as much as a gallon of cheaper brand paint. You definitely need to know what you want!
Not that long ago, I was able to get a gallon of Glidden from Walmart for around $12-13. Not the highest quality paint, but just fine for painting any room but a bathroom or kitchen. Not so anymore. Now it's at least $21. And forget about Lowe's or Home Depot, you'll spend a lot more than that!
I got a mailer from a popular regional chain. Paint prices shocked me. I haven't been paying close attention until last night. Picking the right color on the 1st try just got more important than ever.
Boy oh boy, I learned with one project years ago to never, ever pay by the hour. Nope, don't do it. Pay by the job. And yes, Chip and Joanna (though I like them) have set up impossibly high expectations, lol. Really good tips here.
Exactly! I think that was one thing we should have done. Part of the issue was that we didn't have an exact plan at the beginning, but we should have switched to a project rate as soon as we nailed down the plan. -Mike
Now i know I did mine right! Me (female) and my children did ours by ourselves. It was 21 x21 feet. I was widowed with 9 children and the money was not there for professionals to do it. We stripped everything out and started from scratch. Because of money it took us two years! Two years of washing dishes in the bathtub! But it was worth it all! I did it all with cash as we went and got everything just like I wanted it. We only had one mishap. A cabinet slipped out of one of my sons hands and hit me in the head…..Lol. Other than that I have NO regrets taking on the task by ourselves. As a family we have learned a lot over the years building and remodeling. My sons (7) got the best education ever and 4 of them now work in the commercial building industry! Always give things a try!!!
7 months into our kitchen remodel that has gone all the way to the studs with new insulation, sheetrock, flooring, assembling custom cabinets etc. My husband is doing it all himself though ( but for the quartzite countertops). Luckily I have a very large mud room that is compensating for the lack of a full kitchen. We’re getting there.
My contractor didn't want to handle insulation. I was fine with doing it. He was doing sheetrock when we decided to take a weekend trip that extended to include Monday. Monday he came (he had a key to the addition only) but didn't want to work on sheetrock so he installed facing around windows (and doors) which hadn't yet had insulation stuffed around them. The sound of passing trucks reminds me often that those window surrounds didn't get insulated. He also would jump ahead of the normal installation timeline of items that made my tasks harder. Normally drywall mud is done pre window facings, but he made my job mudding sheetrock around windows more difficult by forcing me to mud with facings in place. By the time we were done my brain was calculating every hour that we paid for as he went to pick up materials every morning at our local lumber yard 2 miles away. He had quite a clever routine worked out. He'd work at most for 3 hrs a day, but charge for 6 by running to pick up items he'd forgotten on his morning trip to town. When I called to increase my insurance policy to cover the addition I expected to add the value of what we spent. No way! Agent informed me we had grossly over paid and their chart showed adding to master bedroom and bath was only half what it cost us. I was pretty upset, especially at myself for not putting a stop to his little time clock games. He'd worked for us before, but mostly doing one-item jobs like installing a set of atrium doors, etc. When we first bought the house he rebuilt our 75 foot front and 40 foot back porches. At that time his labor charge seemed appropriate.
"AND THIS TO, SHALL PASS" Take time to catch your breathes. The kitchen and Mike's brilliant idea are beautiful. All of you take care, have some fun. Note: I stressed out just thinking of that refrigerator!!!! Lol
Thanks for all the tips. I’ve learned a lot from watching a remodel videos in what to do and what I don’t wanna do with my kitchen. With your $4000 window I would suggest market Place or giving to the restore for a tax deduction. Love your kitchen! Enjoy your break excited for when you return!
Sounds like wrong contractor(s) used. If there were no written drawings/plans in place before the work then you'll have more problems. Pay by the job usually means they have their act better together too. You shouldn't have to babysit the process every hour. You hate Emerald?? Uh... that stuff is really good. Idk what to think of that. The product is great, I wonder about application technique.
Thanks for all of the practical tips that you learned the hard way with your kitchen remodel! It looks absolutely amaaaaazing! I hope you can really enjoy it in time! 🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨
Thank you Tara, Mike, and Jill, a family and contractors for all your efforts! Seeing this beautiful kitchen is such a rewarding experience from the viewer's perspective! My kitchen was remodeled by volunteers last year, and the leader said, "Never again!"
Well, your kitchen is beautiful! I love the color. It took us six months when we redid our kitchen. Luckily my husband left the sink in until the last minute so I could do dishes. funny story, quite a few years ago we bought a brand new washer and dryer because our washer quit. they delivered it and put it down basement. since my husband was a machine repairmen, he tried fixing the it and it didn't work, but when he went to put it all back together. It worked. So he said "well, lets just use the old one until it dies" it lasted TWO YEARS..obviously by the time it quit and we set up the new washer and dryer, they both were out of warranty. We crossed our fingers and they worked! Now we laugh about it. and so will you ( in a few years)
Thank-you for re-living the nightmare for our benefit. O my goodness. But it does look beautiful, and you've decorated it very nicely. PS You are VERY gracious with the people who worked by the hour on your kitchen. (For instance, a less than perfect spray job on your cabinets in a dimly lit garage. I don't know any painters who don't bring their own lighting to a job site.) God bless you.
Thankfully, I have a husband in the trade, so we didn't have too many problems doing an add on a couple of hiccups and we did a lot ourselves while I was pregnant with my son this was now 19 year's ago. 😊
I had a total kitchen gut in 1989. The contractor only did kitchens. I had several estimates and chose him. He had drawings of what it was going to look like. We did not move any plumbing, which kept the cost down. The only thing he was not sure of was if he could put the cabinets up to the ceiling because he didn’t know if pipes were there. Fortunately, there were no pipes and I got the cabinets up to the ceiling. It took a week. All these years later, the kitchen still looks pretty good. We chose white cabinets, which are in style. We did replace appliances, the floor and the cabinet handles. The only issue I have is that refrigerators have gotten much bigger over the years. I have cabinets around my refrigerator, so I will be limited in what I can purchase when this one goes.
Your Kitchen really is beautiful. I love it. Did you ever get your house paid off, like you were hoping, before the kitchen re-model, or did the kitchen take it all?
We stopped the payoff because the kitchen seemed to be bothering Tawra more than the mortgage. I was trying to pay it off at the same time but with the kitchen costs, it was a mistake to be aggressive on both. We will probably resume the payoff in the fall. There's not a lot left on the house to pay off. -Mike
In the video Tawra said in restrospectm she thought the original farm sink wasn't worth the trouble, but I think once we figured out the big problem, it was worth it! (The problem was that the old sink drain was broken, but was held in by an inch of rust. We tried a lot of things to remove it, but what finally worked was grinding out all the rust with a diamond bit Dremel tool, while being careful not to damage the porcelain enamel.)
One, thanks for the funny and informative video. Two, I’m glad you didn’t put the doors on the pantry because it looks great and much easier to access. Three, appliances are no longer built to last. I’m still using my mom’s washing machine from the eighties. Doesn’t have a bunch of whistles and bangs but it still washes my clothes. Her frig finally died in 2020. My nephew had build a new house and he bought a Samsung and I got his old one. He has had more trouble with it and his old one is still working. Now the freezer turns into just a refrigerator in the summer months but I can live with that. Lol Thanks again.
The big question is...would you do it again?!! We remodeled our kitchen several years ago, and I would say a big NO to that! Don't get me wrong, I love my new kitchen, but I will never never never do it again. Just not worth the stress in my opinion. Our next house will have to have a kitchen that someone else has already done the work on.
We love what we have now, but if we had to do it again, I would have chosen to do it ourselves. We have successfully done a lot of construction projects ourselves, so I thought hiring someone would be easier, but it wasn't. -Mike
It's interesting that you say wait until the end to order your appliances. I understand that - we ordered our dishwasher ahead of time but that's because everyone told us to do it because it was 2021 and we were in the middle of a supply chain nightmare. Our dishwasher arrived promptly at the start of the renovation and wasn't installed until 8 months later. I was worried about the same thing you were but it has worked just fine (Bosch). Our GE refrigerator works as well but we've had some issues with the lights going out in the freezer.
I love your kitchen!!! Thank you for being honest about your situation! I know it had to be very trying! Congratulations on being finished (almost?)🙃 I love the green can you share the brand and color paint you used?
Thank you! Tawra told me she *thinks* the color was Milkweed Pod, but she says specifically in this video: ruclips.net/video/GDSloy1ker8/видео.html so you might want to check it to be sure. -Mike
I’m sorry to hear the issues you had. First of all get several bids. Apples for apples and oranges for oranges. Never pay by the hour. Some people work slower than others. Pay by the job and have everything in writing. Get references and talk with some of their customers. You shouldn’t have had to figure out how to retro fit some of your existing cabinets. Experienced contractors know what they are doing. Your contractors were probably very nice they were not great ones..
We bought a whirlpool dishwasher and so far we are happy with it. It made some crazy noises when we first connected it, but apparently the water hadn't reached all the parts yet. The manual didn't mention that as a possible problem. But after I figured it out, it has worked well. (About 2 months now...)
Lowe's return policy is horrible! Our contractor pre-ordered 7 windows and only 1 fit. Lowe's would not take them back because we did not use our Lowe's card to purchase them. We have 6 brand new windows, 4 figures worth sitting on the side of the house. Lowe's said that they will give us a discount on the windows we actually need to purchase....Lowe's sucks! We live in a small E TN town and have to travel to a city for Home Depot. We've actually had more luck with Home Depot for returns. We will put the windows up on Facebook Marketplace. Horses' patooties!!!!
So happy that most of this kitchen headache is over honey Now you can recharge and rest We miss you but your health comes first I agree with you on the beautiful high end cabinets you first had It would have been so much easier and probably cheaper to just purchase new ones And this is my opinion only but I think you should have hired hard working great contractors from the start. You would have saved time and money in the long run and you would have had good quality work done faster Come back to us healthy and happy honey

Yes, ours took 3 weeks start to finish, custom built cabinets and all. It was the longest 3 weeks of my life, but not drawn out thankfully!
Wow, that's wonderful! If we ever were to do it again (and we won't! ;-) I would think it would be better to do what you did and then leave town until it's finished! -Mike
I can’t believe how expensive paint has gotten. Used to be an affordable way to change up a room.
Yes, just bought a quart of white to do some window trim, 22.00, Yikes.
Even the small sample pots are expensive. If you want to try out several colors before purchasing, it'll cost you as much as a gallon of cheaper brand paint. You definitely need to know what you want!

Thanks so much! 😊
Great advice! Now relax!
It does look beautiful even with all your hassles. I LOVE your window! I hate to see you leave your channel~~~
For the moment she is just taking a break Nancy.
My husband and I are still working on our kitchen remodel 15 years later...🤔🤪😉
Know exactly what you mean Lesley. I was 25 yrs in the first house we bought and when I moved out it still wasn't done.🙃😉😂
That's why we wanted to hire someone. When Tawra was growing up, their house was always under construction and we hoped to avoid that.
I had a total kitchen gut in 1989. The contractor only did kitchens. I had several estimates and chose him. He had drawings of what it was going to look like. We did not move any plumbing, which kept the cost down. The only thing he was not sure of was if he could put the cabinets up to the ceiling because he didn’t know if pipes were there.

😌..there's nothing like a nice kitchen
A lot of contractors want you to have your appliances so measurements are exact.
So happy to see you❤
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE TIPS. WE ARE THINKING OF NEW CABINETS...NOT SURE HOW OR WHEN...I DREAD IT, I HAVE BEEN THROUGH IT BEFORE.

Sherwin Williams is terrible now. I would go with the although very expensive Benjamin Moore
I've always used Glidden with no problems with 3 houses.
I don't like Sherwin Williams either. We actually love the Behr line from Home Depot. Way less expensive and better coverage.
It may not be but your kitchen is bueatiful
I liked the format of these shorter videos.
I love your kitchen!!! Thank you for being honest about your situation! I know it had to be very trying! Congratulations on being finished (almost?)🙃

I think you should have had a contract with an exact end date and then any time over the end date they have to pay a penalty
What dishwasher did you purchase and are you happy with it?I need a new one but iv'e had terrible luck with 3 going out ,i;m nervous which one to buy.
We bought a whirlpool dishwasher and so far we are happy with it.
It made some crazy noises when we first connected it, but apparently the water hadn't reached all the parts yet. The manual didn't mention that as a possible problem. But after I figured it out, it has worked well. (About 2 months now...)

Yes, we had a similar problem with our first window...
You poor thing..yeah remodles never go as planned..but you did it and its one less thing to worry about.
Rest and rest some more❤
I don't think I would remodel cheaper or easier to move....lol jk. But it turned out great. Hugs to all.
I don't know - I THOUGHT moving was worse, but now I'm not so sure! lol -Mike
That white board on the floor in front of the pantry looks odd and very distracting. Couldn't you just put some wood laminate down instead ?
I'll have to look - Do you mean the white tile in front of the door? -Mike
