    Last time I'm explaining this.
    After my triple bypass surgery I woke up to a paralyzed left hand. During surgery the nerves in my arm were basically destroyed, leaving me with permanent damage.

    MY FUCKING HAND DOESNT WORK!!!

    Hanging ceiling fans and replacing vanities is not something I want to aggravate myself doing.

    And just to let you know.
    In a previous life, as a younger man, myself and 2 others completely remodeled two 18 unit buildings. Bathrooms, kitchens, all new electrical, plumbing, walls, etc etc. 

    So I am pretty fucking familiar with what's needed in order to get the job done.

    Now please give me your fucking estimate.

    A FUCKING LOT, THAT’S HOW MUCH!

    tip: don’t hire carpenters who are missing fingers or electricians with singed eyebrows 👍

    Got an estimate for $3500.
    That's  for installation of everything. 
    I purchase vanity, toilet, fixtures.
    Installer will purchase a/c and install.


    This is an old friend of mine, who I worked on the 18 unit buildings with. 
    When it's all said and done I guess I will be looking at $5k.
    That's a bargain in my eyes.

    You probably know this, but good plumbing fixtures are worth the money - moen, kohler, etc.

    i just now fixed a toilet…I hope 🤞

    At 1st I figured $7500 or so.
    It's a tiny vanity, and the a/c unit is pretty small. So $5-$6k looks like a bargain.

    I'm selling the house in 3 months or so and I am hoping the money I am putting into it will pay off.

    1 year old furnace
    New a/c
    New hot water heater
    New roof and gutters
    New bathroom(basically)

    I just put in one of those fancy Toto Japanese toilets that automatically opens and has a tushy spray. $1000 for the fixture, $1000 for the plumbing and electrical install. Just got a quote to replace our outdoor AC condenser. $6500 including new piping from the outside into our townhouse.

    One thing I know for a fact.
    The HVAC people can be thieving pieces of shit! Guy walked in our house last year and his 1st estimate on a furnace was $10k. I never laughed so hard in my fucking life. Then he proceeded to spend the next 30 minutes talking to me like it was my 1st day on Earth. Just a piece of shit con artist.

    I put in a new furnace before COVID and it cost me 7K. The quotes I was getting for energy star furnaces were over 10K. I need to replace my circuit breaker and possibly a few circuits. I am scared to even call the electrician. I call it the westchester tax. They think we are all investment bankers.

    Today was a good day. Picked up 3 ceiling  fans at 50% off. Couldn't believe that happened! Put in an order for a vanity that will be delivered next week. Picked up the fixtures for the bathroom. Now tomorrow all I have to do is pick up a toilet. So far so good.

    Easy enough work.  The fixtures are w]here the money is. You aren’t doing any tile work.  This could be done sans the AC unit for well under 4G.

    The AC unit can be 5-10K alone.

    I dont know what size AC unit u actually need or if you need a Heat pump combo.

    It's a 2 ton a/c unit. Very small.
    The vanity is only 18 inches. It's a very small bathroom.
    Fixtures, fans, a/c, vanity, toilet, with installation is running me about $5k. 

    1200 sq.ft. house
    Next It's roof and gutters, which I have already gotten a couple estimates for.
