80 BD - Oh my DirectBuy!

We made another trip up to DirectBuy yesterday, this time to speak with their custom kitchen person about the process and the options. It was a VERY GOOD conversation!

There is a range of companies that they work with, from mostly stock to fully custom, from basic quality to top end. I imagine we that we are smack in the middle on both continuums and therefore can easily get what we are looking for. 

At the end of the meeting she showed us a sample kitchen that she had done - slightly larger and slightly fancier than what we are looking to do. Even though we have to pay a designed $1,000-$2,000 to help put it all together she indicated the price was $16,000. That is 2.5-3 times LESS than quotes we started to get from outside firms. Oh my.

Even if we end up at $25,000 then we have a very good chance of making our money back and then some on the membership with this transaction alone. We were both very pleased about that. 

Next order of business is a foreman and an underpinner. More on those next time.
