You can take out loans against that to buy other stuff. i'm doing a small reno for my kitchen and bathroom because if I'm going to be stuck at home all the time I might as well enjoy it but this is like, 20k total. the average kitchen reno alone is like 35k

fart simpson posted:lol how is the average 35k that’s insane Most people have their old cabinets taken out and replaced, which is like 15-20k at a minimum just for a small galley kitchen, and most people's kitchens are much larger than that. then of course you have countertops, and often the appliances will be updated

BIG-DICK-BUTT-gently caress posted:actionjackson lives in a condo which means it's gonna be more expensive bc of the increased risk. Shoot a nail in the wrong spot and you hit a water pipe and flood your downstairs neighbors condo, with no accessible water shutoff valve in reach. Plus it's a pain in the rear end to work in a condo,but mostly it's the increased risk. So obviously you do this for a living so you are the expert, looking again it looks more like 25k, so that might have been a misread by me. However as you very well know, your picture is from a pretty standard size kitchen, but there's also plenty of giant houses with giant fuckoff kitchens. The place I'm working with mentioned they've had renos up to 80-100k. Also 3k for all four appliances is EXTREMELY cheap. There are plenty of single appliances that are far more than that even. Thankfully I live on the bottom floor so some of the things you mentioned are not an issue. The place I used kept the cabinets, but put in new slab doors and drawers to give it a frameless look, and did the blum hinges where you push and the door pops out, and when you push the door or drawer back in it "grabs" it at the end to pull the last bit of distance (tip-on blumotion for movento if you are familiar, I think each drawer for that is like 200-300). I'm paying 10k to have this done in my galley kitchen, which includes everything, including a custom paint color. It would have been like 6800 if I had done typical doors with hardware. I had considered replacing cabinets, but because I'm a modern design slut I got an estimate from a really nice place that had the look I want, and that was like 20K just for cabinets and all the demo. But I would not be happy with doors with insets, or hardware of any kind. https://puustelliusa.com/

look at the size of this loving kitchen, you can't even fit it all in one pic. it's almost bigger than my home how many loving cabinets do you need, there's like 50 doors and drawers just in this pic, what the gently caress are they putting in these those appliances are probably 10-15k alone. of course you could also upgrade to the pelosi package of a separate subzero fridge and freezer (10k each), wolf wall oven, and whatever else and prob spent 35k just on those. don't forget the 5k miele built in coffee maker

Ornery and Hornery posted:re: these types of cabinets - serious question for the thread. materials, ikea stuff is going to be particle board, fiber board and a lot of plastic, basically super lightweight and cheap - I think it might be called thermofoil, which is very susceptible to heat and moisture damage nice stuff is going to be solid wood, or maybe MDF, and with a really nice clear coat, before painting (if done)

BIG-DICK-BUTT-gently caress posted:Honestly I’m pretty sure you know more about this stuff than I do, no irony, it seems like a passion of yours. I always learn new stuff whenever you post about interior design. I’ve only been doing it for 3 years so I am far from “expert” .. Just sharing what I’ve seen, every market will be different. well I appreciate the kind words! yes for entry level homes your prices make sense. I did the countertops in early 2019 before I got into design (but I had a relative who did it who suggested what I ended up with), nothing fancy, wilsonart HPL, matte, coffee bean (dark brown) color. I wasn't willing to pay the pretty subtantial premium for something fancier, and I only want a solid color so more textured options wouldn't make sense anyway. Since it's still so new I'm just kind of building around that, so my walls are an off white with a brown undertone, my porcelain tile that I just had installed is kind of medium brown that looks like concrete, with a bit of a darker brown grout. I've been spending my time recently treating the efflorescence. The cabinet doors will be painted in a color from Benjamin Moore called Normandy. I'm a big fan of the brown/blue/gray pallet overall. https://www.benjaminmoore.com/en-us/paint-colors/color/2129-40/normandy If I were to blow money on new countertops (which would be stupid) again I would probably do solid surface, but it doesn't really benefit me at all except the small convenience of an undermount sink, and even then my kraus sink has a beveled edge so it's not a big issue. There's even a company now (I forget the name) that makes sinks that can be undermounted on laminate. Concrete is definitely something more for an industrial or brutalist theme. I'm picturing concrete floors as well, exposed ductwork, a lot of gray and black in general, lighting that has some of its interior exposed like anything from anglepoise. It's not something you can just put in any kitchen because it will often look weird as hell actionjackson has issued a correction as of 03:39 on Apr 26, 2022 |

OxMan posted:Yeah i dont know who was buying a house in 2009 off 7.25 an hr or whatever the gently caress poverty rear end deathbelt wages they were getting. Nor 11.25 in CA. When was the fortunate timing for that wage, 1962? you mentioned managers, I agree about essential workers, though not all essential workers make minimum wage of course (I mean, physicians and surgeons are considered essential) OxMan posted:Non coastal states are wild. I dont think I've ever seen a house that didnt cost more than 300k (and I'm talking a normal rear end house not some trashed shack you have to demolish and rebuild over) , even as a kid in the late 90s i remember when my moms friends (all electricians, which i used to think of as soooo rich) were buying houses that was the going price. That there were states out there with houses actually buyable by people working regular rear end jobs in a post 9/11 world blows my mind. The median house price in the twin cities didn't hit 300k until last year, and that was a record. I'd say it was around 200k 10-12 years ago this is because the winters get cold as gently caress mainly

Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:How are you poo poo outta luck with a fixed rate mortgage if the value tanks? You live in the place and that alone has inherent value. i bought in 2011 and house prices were still pretty low. I don't know if it includes foreclosed properties but prices reached a nadir around early 2012 I think. and yeah if you have a fixed and the value tanks, well you just keep living there, but there are probably other areas with declining home values that you could move to if you want to sell anyway

Deadly Ham Sandwich posted:If you're a family earning over 100k, you are well off. That puts you in the top 15% of family incomes for millennials. I went from broke (<16k) to IT money (>100k), and it is a world of a difference. Complaints that it doesn't go far really remind me more of rich people talking about spending huge amounts of money and complaining about barely having anything left over to feed their family. I'm in Minneapolis, and yeah I think it helped a bit, but new developments still tend to be incredibly expensive there is a big development underway in south st. paul, bordering the mississippi river. pretty desirable area - almost all of the more expensive housing is south of 94. there had a few apartments in the rental building for lower income, but for the most part it's a few homes that are all 1m+, townhomes start at 680K, and condos start at 600K https://www.stpaul.gov/departments/planning-and-economic-development/planning/ford-sitehighland-bridge/ford-site-zoning-4 - has some details, notice the percent for low income and the timeline (lol) actionjackson has issued a correction as of 18:24 on May 15, 2022 |
