When to hire work? Anyone got a math formula?

[Steven Westlake]

Has anyone ever come up with a formula to solve when to hire work out?

I have a entrance area needing done on an apartment, material is approximately $2000, plus a labor cost of $3000. This work would take me, by myself about 7 to 10 days. It needs done for me to rent out a unit for $700 per month. There is other work to be done as well. So this time will further push back my renting the unit out.

And to really muddy the water, it’s 1200 miles from my house, and my wife, for some unexplainable reason haha, wants me home a few nights per month.
