construction's a bitch ain't it. i spent 3 months working on a construction crew... i hated everyday, but looking back, i learned a lot about houses and irrigation systems :P
good luck with the improvements :) hope you don't come across too many snags because the first rule of home improvement is to always expect more

after 10 years in the handy man secter I have learned to allways double the estimate to cover the unseen problems. I have hit a few time consuming problems but no major money holes yet. I say yet because i found steel gas line used for water pipe under the kitchen sink >:( have no idea what moron came up with that idea but that could cost a bit to fix cause copper line anit cheap and i have never used the new pvc to copper ;ine connections yet and not sure i want to :'( but it is comin along. the hallway is finshed the dry wall is hung mudded and sanded in the kitchen and ready for paint. so im on secdule and budget 8) and with any luck ill have a little left for online gaming ;D
