I just sent an e-mail to a propane store accepting their offer on a 120 gallon propane tank and installation of the kitchen pipes and hoses. $2,395.

My wife and I (mostly my wife) also made tile decisions for the kitchen/breakfast nook, master bathroom, two smaller bathrooms and foyer. It comes to about 4,500 pounds and $2,032. We'd normally use the flatbed trailer to haul the tile, but it's out of commission at the moment. Instead we'll rent a small U-haul cargo van and hold off on the master bathroom tile at this time since the van has a 4,000 pound limit. The cargo van is $20 to rent for 24 hours, plus $0.69/mile... so about $120 total. Cheaper than Floor & Decor's $300 delivery fee.

We paid $3,350 on the 23rd for 50% of the kitchen counters. We'll be meeting with the installers on Friday to show them the kitchen and let them take measurements.

On Sunday, we'll be meeting with a floor guy to get an estimate on oak flooring for the living room, dining room and bedrooms.

Most of the basement floor will be done with indoor/outdoor carpeting. We'd go with "real" carpet of course, but basement floors here tend to have condensation issues.

Home Depot just sent us a 10% off coupon. If they have a decent sale on kitchen appliances, we may buy the refrigerator, dishwasher, oven and microwave in the coming days.

But %@#$!. Prices are getting out of hand.

Gold is $1,581/oz today. When it hits $2,000, it will be up 26.5%. Let's see how long that takes. - De 3/11/2013 - ANSWER: 7 Years, 5 Months
