i just bought an 80 year old place in Sacramento, California... my pretty designer hands are so sore i can barely type.
great stories from everyone,, MrRemote you ARE crazy but inspiring. Bookmarked you page.
nosaj... looks great. good luck with it. i'm finding the hardest part isn't the sweat you put in the work you do yourself - but playing the general contractor role and hunting down the right people for the jobs you can't do.
finding a roofer has been a giant pain in my ass, and they are 2-6 months out on installation.
windows i've had bids that differ $4-7,000 for comparible products.
electrical and plumbing are getting more complicated with each set of eyes that inspect the situation.
i wish i could do all this stuff myself. it's funny how in the home repair industries, it's acceptable to deliver a bid three weeks later than promised and $600-2,000 more than estimated.
i could go on. but.....
