The Kitchen
Me: I'll just replace the kitchen sink and faucet, they're rusting and the faucet drips.
Contractor: To replace the sink, you'll have to crack the counter
Me: Ok, I'll replace the sink and the faucet and counter
Contractor: then the counter won't match the cabinets and you're condo's 30 yrs old, the cabinets are probably rotted in the back.
Me: Ok, I'll replace the sink and the faucet and the counter and the cabinets
Contractor: You want a white counter top and cabinets?
Me: Yep
Contractor: They won't match the appliances, they're almond
Me:
Contractor: What about the lights?  You said they weren't working.
Me: OK REPLACE THE WHOLE DAMN KITCHEN TEAR EVERYTHING OUT OK ALREADY!

Maybe you shouldn't talk to the contractor and just ask someone off the street. It think they would have said to just replace the faucet.
