Thanks John -- right, items like the cupboard handles are often forgotten when estimating the reno. It's also amazing sometimes what is hidden in the walls. The drawings you really want to get before a reno are the "as-built" drawings. Very seldom actually produced (unless you pay the contractor to do them), what they show is what really happened during construction, despite what the designer/engineer planned. Sometimes you just cant run a pipe etc where the drawings indicate. So the as-built drawings are annotated versions of the plans (that are on file with the county) that show what reality dictated needed to happen. Fortunately we are not building a hospital here, its just a couple of walls! Your place looks wonderful. Mike
