Long Weekend - Not a lot done So I didn't get a lot done at the duplex this weekend. Surprise, Surprise, right? It was way too nice out to spend the whole weekend inside. And if you know anything about Calgary, you need to enjoy the weather when you can. However, I did paint one room, covered up the god awful green with something a little more dark and calm. I've decided it's a lot better then the old colour. I also went back to home depot to see about some kitchen cabinets. My kitchen is roughly 11x9ft in size. Cabinets, without install, came to be 9000$. Doesn't that seem a little steep? And this is before any discounts, install, or counter tops. Messed up, and my kitchen is tiny. Now I would have received a discount of 1000$, but seriously. The lady estimated install would be about another 2500, and all still without a counter top. Messed up. Oh yeah, and the cabinets wouldn't be delivered for at  least 6 weeks. Damn.
So anyways, I'm going to another place, and maybe I'll even go to Ikea tonight, to crunch some more numbers and look at more cabinets. Such a headache. On top of that, i cancelled with bath fitter today. I just can't believe it costs $3600 for someone to put a piece of plastic on top of your old crap. So I've decided to have my tub refinished, and a plumber come in and install for me a shower, and my mom and I will do the tile ourselves. This a new toilet, mirror and vanity will probably cost the same. Yay for more work.
