There are 14 columns in our house. That's what's the team is due to finish for the next 3 weeks, hopefully these will be done in 2.
One tip that I can share is do your research. Search for the best supplier with the best price. It's worth it. Weeks before the actual start date and when we were just drafting the plans, my sister drove around the area to scout the neighborhood for a good hardware. We printed an excel sheet of all the materials and then they drove around Munoz, Congressional, even as far as Mindanao Avenue to ask for quotations for the materials. We eyed a relatively big hardware store along Mindanao Avenue, but they didn't have the cheapest price. We chose to have them because they are a one stop shop, they are in a convenient location and my sister knows the owner. To get the best price, we also did a price match. Apart from that, we negotiated a payment scheme and agreed to pay the materials on Saturdays. This way, we don't have to make any cash outs when we get materials - safer and more convenient.
