在这儿是LABOUR贵, 材料什么的不贵.如果你是个HANDY的人, 可省很多钱.

我去了HomeDepot了,他们的建议是还是要找人装这个Mantel,自己做难度比较大,因为要让它完全水平.不知是不是真的?下面的是大理石砖,不是木头的.

而且我想在厨房安装那种嵌在天花板里的顶灯,Minto的报价是四个灯$850.请问这个价钱怎么样?将来如果想自己找人再做的话会不会很难啊?Minto的人说,如果不让他们做的话,他们是不会帮我们预先部好线的.所以将来是不是要将天花板打掉才能再装这种灯啊?谢谢.

Installing the mantel is not a big deal, don't know why guys in HD said 完全水平 is hard..a 2 buck level can sort it out easily...

Four pocket lights for $850, looks to me Minto is robbing you for this upgrade..Holy moly, lots of builders do it by default...

Can you tell us if you donot do the upgrade, what kind of lights in your kitchen?

As for the tools, you may need to buy them later probably..So if say do mantel upgrade by Minto is $1000, DIY $200ish, $800 difference, you can buy lots of tools yah

The light in the middle is the standard light from Minto. We also asked some private contractors about installing pocket lights. They said it wouldn't be easy to install after the ceiling was finished. They have to undo the whole thing which will cause a lot of work. Have you installed this kind of lights by yourself? We don't have the experience so we are not sure if what they told us is true...

pocket lights 有专门的kit，是订在顶上的frame上的, 从图上看，如果 minto 不给布线的话，改起来是比较麻烦。

越看越觉得minto可气。。我们家十二个pocket lights，builder 给装的，一分钱没多花。。这灯上完顶子后再改的确不划算，但在上顶子前加一点不麻烦。。加一个灯口50-60，light fixure算40，那它要850/4 = 210,真没道理。。

气大伤身

要是不装pocket light，留着Minto那灯，以后买个架子，放四、五个spot lights在上面，虽没有pocket light好看，可也过得去了。到HD看看问问，说不定能来点灵感。

另，布线。不揭开顶棚也不一定就不能做，只是要大受限制。可以在没上顶棚的时候看好joist的走向，计划一下，看有无可能自己扯线装pocket light.

一千块，就那么点活儿，是够黑的

Minto的这个价钱是对原来没有灯头的地方加pocket lights的。如果按plan已经有灯头只是把原来的灯换成pocket light，会便宜一点。
