Val, know of any good shutter person? I would like to get an estimate and possibly get it done as soon as possible.

Val-ue,
Perfect. I'll need an electrecista too since I will be switching to a BOSCH tankless water heater and buying and installing new A/C.
It wouldn't hurt if you know some bueno, bonito y barato tormenteras (shutters) person.
Ah, the Cuban network at its best.

Ventanita,
I have an excellent connection for the kitchen and bath counters that ill be writing about soon. I also have a great connection fro general construction and thetrades - electrical, mechanical, plumbing as well. Having been a project manager for an architectural firm all these years, you get to see the cream of the crop at work.
If anyone out there needs contact info for an construction work, let me know. I have the best of the best.

Val, "Ya Que"...you are redoing the cabinets, I'm sure Mrs. P will want new appliances, ...y "Ya Que"...the kitchen is going to be so nice, the bathrooms might look a bit dated.... Just figured I would throw in a few "Ya Que"s of my own!!!! Good Luck! I'm sure everything will be beautiful once you finish. I am starting my home remodeling later on this year, so I'm just practicing.

Just look at it this way, Val, you're becoming an expert at multi-tasking .......
My best wishes to you- hope you finish fast.

Oh, yeah, I'll see you the kitchen and raise you a house. I'll post mine on my blog.

Val:
I hope you have not undertaken that mammoth project on your own- that looks like endless hours of work.

You have my sympathies.
I went through this a few years ago. The house turned out beautifully, but the experience was most painful.

Ah, I've fallen victim to that syndrome many a times on our Miami property. Currently we are buying a condo that is under construction and the "ya-que" syndrome also extends into upgrades.....
May the force be with you!
By the way, are you doing the work on your own, or do you "have people"? I ask b/c during the next year I have to do major renovations to the Miami property, mainly kitchen and bath, and I need good workers.
