What would you do in this situation? Kitchen remodel
We are planning on remodeling the kitchen. Currently we are just waiting for a little more money - perhaps a work bonus next fall. We have the opportunity to have a friend redo our hardwood floors throughout the house for an amazing price, however, the kitchen remodel is kind of holding us back. The reason being, part of the kitchen remodel plan is to bring the hardwood from the rest of the house throughout the kitchen. All the new cabinets we will be installing are already purchased and in the garage. The plan is to tear up the kitchen tile, lay unfinished hardwood down and then finish all the floors at once - we would do this since we are changing the color of the floors. However, as I said, we are not ready to start the kitchen yet, but might lose our chance to get the floors finished for this incredible price. The thing holding us back is that in order to install the hardwood in the kitchen, we need to take out the existing base cabinets, lay the floor and then install the new base cabinets.
It's a quandary. What do you think I should do? Would it be crazy to remove the existing base cabinets, lay the floor and then put them back in temporary just to get the floors finished? Mostly the money we are hoping to get next year will buy the granite countertops which are currently laminate. Would it be crazy to tear out the current base cabinets, install the floor and install the new cabinets with some kind of cheap,temporary laminate from the big box store? Having our floors done now is going to save us about $800-1000.
