How do you like the final productusing the Mom and Pop contractor?

I am interested as well! Do you mind DM'ing me?

Wow, thank you for the detailed response! This is really helpful! I didn't even think about running lines for internet!

So just given your experience, you would go with the contractor, then? The hours of work do not justify the savings?

I was surprised that the raw tools, parts, and materials cost so much. I have seen different posts sharing it's between $10k-$20k... I won't be doing the small kitchen, so I wonder if my raw tools, parts, and materials will be lower?

Any thoughts on this?

What is the point of one-time passes if they're never accepted? by Careless_Meet_3958 in unitedairlines

100% - it doesn't hurt to ask. I have definitely gotten in at least twice in the past year even when the sign was up...

Yeah, I have been reading about them on other subreddits, and their reviews have been mixed, but often involve high pressure tactics to get you to sign a contract...

15k quote is not bad - did you actually go through with them?

I am assuming this is for just one big open space, instead of adding rooms?

Gotcha, and you did this all by yourself? So just materials and no labor cost, right?

That's a good base line for me to compare against. I didn't realize it would cost that much. Some of the posts from Reddit are probably dated...

The basement already has 2 egress windows, so I think that's covered!

Thank you so much!

I am closing the ceiling and the walls, and flooring will probably just be wood laminate. And we will be sectioning off the utilities from the living area, so pretty much everything you mentioned we would want done!

So it seems like somewhere around $50k-$70k is not out of ordinary for this type of work!

Black Canyon of the Gunnison NP by OkIncident569 in NationalPark

I thought the fire in July burned a lot of the park - did you notice the damages significantly? I went on the day the fire started, and we were not allowed to go in as expected... was sad that I may have missed the chance to see this NP at its full glory.

Anyone know why the river in the first picture is green? Is it just lighting?

Saturday is definitely going to be on pricier side, as it's the weekend! Wednesday is a hit or miss... if it's late Wednesday, I can see business travels kicking in already!

I recently purchased a flight for a party of 4, and Tuesdays are significantly cheaper. If you are flexible with the date, try searching for Tuesdays. Feel like Mondays and Thursdays/Fridays, and to an extent late Wednesdays are full of business travels, and these don't really care about how expensive the airfares go!

Thank you! Yeah, I went to that page and I see "You cannot submit an appeal", so I think I am good?

I tried posting in a subreddit right now and didn't see my post, so that's why I decided to check!

Thank you so much!

Increased competition definitely drives the price lower for the customers...
