F&E class said to use 10-20% for the contingency aka catastrophe fund. New to renovations, don't know the tradespeople that well, and don't know what's in the walls that well...you want to keep that contigency fund nice and big.
There are several flooring places on Colonnade Rd including one next door to Heartwood, the kitchen designer that I am now interning under. (Long nasty story about the paid summer job. Internship isn't making me any money but I am learning more and my boss is so much nicer.)
Also, I am told that you should leave picking tile and flooring for last because you will typically have a zillion colour choices for those and not so many for cabinets and counters.
