Tare out is totally complete. I just wanted to post a short follow up to point out a few things to keep in mind that will help you save money along the way.
1. get the largest dumpster available for all the trash and tare out material.
2. have your own tare out crew.
3. make your decisions on color, cabinets, flooring, windows and anything else your changing prior to tare out.
4. purchase all your supplies in 1 large order at places like Home Depot and the like. talk to the store manager and ask for a large purchase order discount. you usually can save about 5 to 20 percent over purchasing everything separate.
5. get labor only estimates from contractors, there are contractors who will do this. read this post on how to save money when rehabbing and dealing with contractors.
6. check on your work site to make sure everything is flowing as it should so you can meet the schedule complete date.
Next Post I’ll have another video of some of the work completed. I’m so excited I can’t stop thinking about the whole process. Talk to you soon.
