We haven't had any major problems as we've started remodeling our house, for that I'm so thankful.
I ordered the wrong style of hinges online, so I'm waiting to hang the doors until I get the right ones. I have them sitting there waiting like a puzzle to be put together.
And our countertops look beautiful. Or they will.
We mis-measured, so the one section turned out about 1 1/2-2 inches too short. And too short is too short. No way to stretch it or cut anything to fix it. So, we're waiting for a new piece before we can install them & the sink.
We purchased flooring yesterday, hoping to install it this weekend. We also ordered carpet for the bedrooms. It'll be like a whole new house with new flooring! I'm very excited about that.
For purchasing used cabinets unseen online & for doing much of the work ourselves, we haven't had any totally unexpected costs or mistakes. I'm grateful. Though we have to eat the mis-measured section of the countertop, it still won't cost us that much more to replace it.
We're looking for a counter-height table to put in the center as well as living room furniture. I purchased an antique cabinet last week for our TV to stand on. It's coming together & easy to see the end in sight at this point.
I'm also thankful for Brad & his willingness to work hard in his spare time to complete it.

You are truly blessed. Living thru remodeling with 5 kids I remember all the times grandma and grandpa did it. The bathroom was especially rough. It will be so nice when you are done. Enjoy
I am excited to see it! :) And I think it is absolutely awesome that you got most of the subflooring done yourself. What a woman! :)
