    You forgot to mention the cost for the plan. Someone was quoting me around $250000 to draw up a plan and said it was discounted since I know him. He also said he does building. I am bit skeptical about knowing someone and letting them build your house, mark you we are not friends

    It's always best to get the code for each room and procedures from parish council first then look in the stores at standard shower doors and then have the plan drawn up using the code. Remember furniture and fridge has to go through the doors so make the doors wide for furniture. Also if you are going to age in place make one floor or a bedroom on first floor. The house plan such be accessible for wheel chair

      ​@@JeanaCavel the same thing happens in USA. I remodeled my townhouse after 18 years. All the bathrooms needed to be redone. The "contractor " didn't put the ring in one toilet and it leaked. . He had to cut out my downstairs ceiling then he bought the wrong tile for the bathroom floor and I told him while he was laying it. He said no. When he finished it was wrong. Shinny tiles in bathrooms can be slippery. I told him I needed matted ones. He insisted on ordering the stuff because he knew what was needed and I paid for it through Home Depot. I didn't know they get credit on their account . I had to returned something and I noticed the credit deducted from his account. He also installed the bottom shower bar backwards and the shower leaking. Be careful when hiring anyone and you smell weed on them. They are absent minded. They will do a lot of mistake.

    Girl, I really rate you for sharing this. Some people only share the success stories when they know they lost a lot starting business. It’s actually soooo helpful to hear people talking about failing because it encourages people to keep trying even if they fail. As a person who also has had failed business attempts I will say we can never be 100% percent ready - things will always catch us off guard but the bravery is in trying. Kudos to you girl! You earned a new subbie!

Do a 50 savings challenge each month, where the 1st day of a new month you save 50, day 2 - 100 so each day is increasing by $50 and by the end of the month you can roughly $25,550 (bare in mind that some months carry 30 days and 31 days, so the months thst carry 30 days you can save up to $23,550 and the months that have 31 days you can save up to $25,550) by the year should done you will have a decent amount😊❤.
