In
September, I managed to persuade my father to let me purchase new
linoleum sheeting for the bathroom floor. There are small holes on
the current lino, which was rapidly wearing out. I had wanted to buy
some for a while, but had no excuse, seeing as my father who owns the
property never uses the upstairs rooms now. Here is a photo of how
the bathroom used to look, before the new shower and lino...(before me!)
I
explained my idea of ripping out the bathroom closet under the sink
and laying new linoleum across the entire floor – and he agreed it
would be OK. I then searched online for lino. This is where the
problems began. Firstly, at under £8 PSM, you would think 2x3m would
be £8x6 -aka £50 max – wrong! Firstly, they add tax – and THEN
charge £45 for delivery! I searched several sites, but this was the
best product, at a reasonable price – except for that damn delivery
charge!
The
next problem came when I went to empty the bathroom closet....
So it cost you twice as much as expected? :(
ReplyDeleteI guess it's probably a good idea to overestimate the cost in the future. This probably won't be the last time you encounter hidden expenses. What a pain....
Well I didn't actually know how much lino cost til I got online and checked a few sites out - but I definitely was not expecting the shipping cost to be more than the product!
