Default Re: RANCH VS DESIGNER HOMES and Floor Plans

Hyacinth:
One couple took up their carpeting and put down wood-laminate. They also did some painting inside, but used their own labor for that.
Another couple has just taken up carpeting and put down tile.
Virtually everybody (16 homes on the street) have spent a fair amount of bucks on upgraded landscaping.
One couple expanded their lanai, added floor space as well as birdcaging.
Several have tiled the lanai - and I'm seriously considering doing so.
There was a crew here the other day resurfacing one couple's cabinets!

I have no clue as to how much any body paid! Figured it isn't my business, but I will ask those who tiled their lanai who did it and how much it cost!

Most of these projects strike me as a little soon after the house was built - and we all built-to-order - but folks' tastes do change, after all! The first house on the street was completed in late August 2004.
