svelteParticipantMost costs are for the material itself, so it is going to be highly dependent on the appliances, granite, tile, cabinets, and fixtures you buy.
From doing a recent complete remodel in north San Diego county, I can tell you a few labor rates for REPUTABLE contractors…if you pick fly-by-nighters, you may be able to find lower rates.
Demo/Install Shower/tub Wall Tile: $6 – 10 sf
Demo/Install Diagonal Floor Tile: $5 – 10 sf
Install Granite Countertops: $50 – 100 sf + $250 per sink cutout
Install Appliance: $200 – 400 per appliance
Install 8×8 Frameless Glass Shower Enclosure: $2500-3000 (this quote includes materials)
Professionally Paint Interior: $2 – 3 sf of home, not wall space (this quote includes materials)
Install 8ft Long Bathroom Mirror: $300-400 (includes mirror)
Refinish Wood Floors: $3 – 5 sf
Install High-end Carpet: $5 sf and up (includes carpet, pad, and installation)
High-end material costs:
Kitchen sink: $500 and up
Granite: $800 and up per slab
Double Oven: $4000 and up (Wolfe, Viking, etc)
Gas Cooktop: $1500 and up (Wolfe, Viking, etc)
Travertine: $5 sf and upFor a small kitch, you’ll probably need 1 to 2 slabs of granite.
For a medium kitch as you’d find in a 3000-4000 sf house, 2-3 slabs
For a kitch in a 5000-up sf house, who knows!

svelteParticipantIn the 1990s, the county automatically reduced our prop tax for a few years without us applying – I think they were getting swamped with requests and did it to free up their staff.
I haven’t heard of them doing such a thing again in this downturn, so I should get on with applying for a reduction myself this time.
Thanks for this thread – it is the kick in the rear I needed.

svelteParticipantWe did the wine tasting loop in the Temecula wine country this weekend. I couldn’t believe the number of for sale signs on glenoakes and de portola roads.
It was over the top.

svelteParticipantTHIS AIRPORT IS ONE OF THE BUSIEST SMALL AIRPORTS IN THE COUNTRY
Kind of like saying someone is the tallest short person around, isn’t it?
It all depends upon your definition of small! An attempt to make a situation look extreme when it’s really not.
