A little venting

Ok, so we have lived here for over a month now. We have discussed the finishing of the basement with our builder and he was on the same page we were as far as price and time frame. Well, that all changed today. He called and said that it was going to be another $2,000 to finish the family room. Whatever! Jim has a good friend that flips homes and he said that he is really out there with that price. So as nice as he could, Jim agreed to the builder finishing everything down there except the family room. He seemed surprised that we just wouldn't finish it while he was already down there. Well, hello! If we don't have to spend another $2,000, we aren't going to! Jim's friend said he is going to help us put up the molding and paint for almost $3,000 less than what we were going to pay our builder. Hopefully we can get it done before the carpet order comes in. I'm done venting now. Keep your fingers crossed! I will have a completed, problem free home if it drives me to the loony bin!
