It’s costing in the neighborhood of $30k for all the demo and all the construction. I overshot my planned budget by about 30% due to some surprises we found in the yard and some things I changed my mind on once we got started. That’s why it’s always good to get an initial bid well below the funds you have available–things WILL change 🙂

Yep, I’ve heard this (time and cost overruns) from every single person who has ever had any work done. They say you should always calculate a minimum of 20% more than the actual estimate.

Good luck with the rest of the job. Just getting it done will be cause for celebration. Enjoy! 🙂

I’ve yet to do a project where I didn’t submit change requests halfway through. 🙂

And I’m usually 50% over budget, so to me you did damn good!

Any idea how much of that 30k is material vs labor?
