Thanks splatts. When it's all said and done the home should be fabulous.

You have worn many hats in your life. Knowing how to do things in general is a money saver. When I hear the prices that people pay to have work done, I'm lost for words.

Neighbor sold his house and after the biyer had it inspected a roofing company came over to inspect the roof… $20k for a new roof. Of course the roofer is gonna say he needs a new one. 😂🤣😂

Painters are charging a butt load of $$ too. Part of me doesn’t blame them. They have mouths to feed to and a business to run. Prices are out of control!! But people are willing to pay it so….

My brother just got a price for a metal roof that came in at $42,000
We did the metal roof on his garage, and we'll be installing the roof on his house for that price.

He's priced out the materials and got a quote for $17,500. We think we can have the roof laid in 7/8 days. I guess we'll find out.

With the demand that there is for skilled tradesmen, why would any go to college unless they have a real passion for something. If you are good with your hands, learning a trade seems like a no brainer.

Over half price cheaper to do it yourself… as long as you got the time and knowledge, that’s a score!!

Mike Rowe has been preaching about the trades lacking for decades. It was always, COLLEGE COLLEGE COLLEGE!! You won’t amount to anything without going to college. I remember having that forced down my throat growing up. I’m glad I didn’t listen. Lol
