how the hell are you getting your landlord to pay for all this in the first place, lol
i'm putting in probably hundreds of work hours doing renovations on the flat without charge, raising the value of his property, so he's happy to pay for the materials in general. i planned an extension to the kitchen counters, built the frame from my own materials etc & he agreed to cover the plumbing changes (for another washer vent), the countertop & a dishwasher, because it all adds value to the place.
it's honestly great to have a landlord who cares about the place enough to put in some $$$ to maintaining and upgrading it, values the actual labour and still lets me live there for the price i started renting it for. good guy landlord
i feel like for a landlord that would be a huge risk though, cuz if you're not a professional you could just as well fuck up somehow and damage his property. good luck tho i mean you're lucky to be in this situation
