The odd comments here and there about kitchens made me stop and think of what we've done so far -- as I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I am, finally, beginning to think it just might not be a giant robot. Yay.
Well, for starters, we replaced every appliance but the fridge (which is probably only a year or two old); the rest -- double oven, dishwasher, and stovetop -- were all avocado and seriously on their last legs. No, seriously: the dishwasher didn't work, the ovens didn't heat, and the stove-top had only two working eyes. I'd say of the money we've spent in the past year and a little more, the biggest amount was probably on those three things (but that was also, undoubtedly, the best spent).
( Let's see what else -- and a lot of this is total guestimate, since it's not like I tracked it at the time. )
I can not believe it's been that much spent, so far. Can anyone tell me if we came out ahead? Anyone?
