I would sure feel a lot better about our finances if we had a six month emergency fund, congratulations on that! What a big accomplishment! And I think it's awesome that you are going to remodel your kitchen using cash! I am curious if you have anyplace in your area like this one place we have here called <a href="http://www.stardustbuilding.org/" rel="nofollow">Stardust Building Supply</a>? It is a non-profit that has all kinds of remodeling materials for really great prices, up to 80% off! Like these beautiful pieces of marble slab for kitchen counters, big bathtubs, and even ovens and stoves and dishwashers. Here is a <a href="http://www.stardustbuilding.org/instore.html" rel="nofollow">page on their site that shows some sample prices</a>. It's like a Goodwill or Savers but for home remodeling. I love to go there and just look around to see if there is anything I can use there. OH! I got my two toilets from there one time. I researched the brand and found out my peach colored one would have cost around $400 brand new, and the white toilet retailed for $300. They were American Standard brand, Cadet line. I paid $10 for my peach one, and $25 for the white one. My peach toilet was missing the matching lid but I just keep it covered so who would know? Anyway, I just wanted to mention Stardust because maybe you could find a place like that to help cut costs with your kitchen remodel. Thank you again for stopping by and commenting!
