" No matter what you -- an old house like this the older part of the house starts to look shabby when new part gets -- sure. We needed to kind of perk up these two rooms and we took the living room jury read. And we pull the colors from that the navy and the sun -- certainly I would candidate himself back up from chairs. And the rest was recycled from what they had and then in the dining room when you have this great -- it's got a lot of color at quest for wells were color before. Brought in some new furniture in the same style we carried throughout the house. And I think it really works great that lots of feeding and it looks that looks like it's been brought into the nineties."
" And it's a complete make over here say they ever elected -- I want to shape yeah -- room which has undergone some major reconstructive surgery. Like India and Pakistan for a 5% -- aren't in effect that's quite a change indeed now you've painted over the tile yes I happen. How did you do that well we took little sandpaper and scratched it up just a little bit higher than under code base of paying on that 22 different kinds of glaze and some kind of simple the glaze and onto the tile and then the wall it's now magenta -- yes it is -- through college in there we put let me see magenta lavender. And it kind of look eagle planes over the top instead of those as well Pico went -- post -- tea colored orange yellow color. Well it's extraordinary experience not -- I think the first thing I want to ask you. In the new family room is how to get started when you have an empty room and you've got nothing but bare walls on the hardwood floor what you've picked first."
" Well actually we picked up right first went to the hallmark star we get this great -- made an and yet 100% world. And it has always wonderful colors and we've pulled this teal green out as are predominant color we brought it over into this chair this chairs made of a cotton. Blended fabrics -- nice comfortable. Feeling that a little reading up over here with the bookcase on -- lamp and you're so nice so cozy area. We pulled this green color around the piping of the soap box. Which adds a nice touch with plaid pillow and then the green in the accessories ethnic radicals -- all together."
" So that it's it's yet simple to unifier room when you pick up little accessories like these that that's -- that bring the same color back and -- two young children -- break up all -- our furniture and looks very similar to the bedroom furniture in terms of the finish on the wood."
" Right the case goods are from the same collection we will -- the blonde color of the campus tan colored hair that was great entertainment center about their houses -- Television and the videos and pushed back for good viewing. Then down nearly -- stereos CD player and our hopes up -- CD's even has its own club which is so convenient you don't have to break through the back. Now this so like is that great comfy value we had only two walls to work let. So we chose the -- so fun opposite yet entertainment center. "
" Works out perfectly the go ahead -- his -- again it's pretty damn it it's a nice naturally speaking natural collar and it's really -- that buried nights. Well once again you've done a terrific job thanks so much and what I want to do is I would check in with the gentleman talked about the budget -- Paul Tracy. Let me interrupt you congratulations. Can't you certainly have got the job done on time six months. And I guess on budget we have seen too much -- you Tracy is you've been out there burning them in paperwork trying to millions turned on them don't do painful part arrangement yeah. Well how does it look -- last -- we look at the budget we're talking about an 80000 dollar total. And what you got here."
" Well that that budget told that we were talking about that point was the actual cost what we did originally estimated. We've actually committing within the wanted to preserve America and estimated cost here a little bit over and a couple of items little bit under and and two others. The total cost. To Tracy and Linda. That we had original budget 100000 dollars here. And would you do if you weren't so let me -- understands 8000 is the heart number four of those bricks and -- of the analysis error that's correct and then when you add builders fees and other -- annals extras work changes whenever you come up -- that figure and I. Things that are -- unexpected during the course of construction or things that during the course of construction we decided to change. An add on and but additional cost a solution until the biggest surprise yeah. Right I think we've heard first there and in due to enter the speculation here in Iraq. And I don't think it was an unexpected as much as figured in loan -- him into -- and we don't know how big it was going to be as likely never knew there was something there. But we didn't know how think it was going to be in that that in itself. 4% of the budget so what does that translate -- you find that you had all that extra work to do because of the big rock where the foundation. That -- with a little bit about your foundation look at what would it was talking about 4000 wow wow so these are the end for scenes that you have to have a slush fund for almost. Invite you to understand most of the job what -- the other. Cost overruns or working well leave the restaurant where things. We decided during the course of construction that -- worth are coming up with a few extra -- again I'm going into the job knowing we want to do that and not knowing where the money would be spent yet we can't open up the kitchen of the existing kitchen area into an -- dining area. Which for the dole is involved committed just a tremendous. Difference in -- in the whole."
" I don't know the exact -- you might as well his head from their part of the process of remodeling you find out that it makes sense to take down part of law and in this case it was very successful. For small bulbs."
