When it's complete, you will be 20% over budget and three months past your projected completion date.
Don't blame me. I'm just the messenger.

I’m two weeks out from moving back in after a 6 month whole home renovation that was supposed to take 1.5 - 2 months. We’re also 30kish over budget and we weren’t cheapskates during this process.
So what he said.
ETA: expect delays, frustrations, lumber cost increases, subcontractors to not show up, then two to show up at the same time, divorce, lumber, tile, and fixtures to be out of stock, etc.

I’m 40% over budget and 6 months past due. I’m closer to 25% over budget but once you include the pool and all the other BS I’m at 40.
