Our remodel was an afterthought, really. We had a little bit of money left after
replacing our HVAC system, and thought, "Well, we should get some new appliances."
Before we knew it, we had torn the kitchen down to the studs! Since this was not the
plan, we had a very small budget to work with. Thankfully, we had some good
connections, and were able to get alot of freebies, and alot at a great discount. I'll post
costs, for anyone else who may want to see how far your budget can take you:
