Price looks a bit better, but that's partly because it excludes things like the painting, which will have to be done anyway and always costs more than you expect. Ah well. As I said to our neighbour, who started all this - it's all right for him if his renos cost more than he is anticipating, it just means he will have to go on working for longer. For us, it means we have to die sooner. But moving would be even more expensive for less benefit, and the house is trying to tell us "It's time" - shower screen has started leaking and one of the kitchen drawers collapsed yesterday. Peter has fixed it, sort of, but it's not a long-term solution.
