familyof4 0 Report post Posted July 19, 2009 MM, reno can also work out in various phases. the masonry works goes first...if u can accept the hall flooring, might as well just do the rooms for the time being, and just bear with the hall? kitchen cabinets can do bottom only... furnitures can add on slowly...when u have more resorces for more things, probably u can get the carpenter to add in warbobes for u lets say...in another year??? many ways to work out...dun stress too much!
