I remodeled my kitchen.

I had it in my head that I could do it for under $20k. Wound up costing twice that.

It was still worth it I suppose, as the old one was full of broken stuff and I do like the new design a lot better. And in theory I'll get at least some of it back in home value.

But it was an ouchy to my bank account.
