I am converting!!!!!!
My latest rehab is a deal we found that my wife and I are rehabbing for us to live in.
I could write a book to explain everything that has happened to prevent me from working on the house DYI since we bought it last June. So, I have ventured of into hiring contractors.
The wife and I had a major disagreement on the "outside" contractor. She wanted the "prettiest" one with the souped up websight and black Mercedes. So far, I have made him call his roofer back twice. His siding guy is into his third week on a promised two week project. I am so proud I have a firm contract with him.
She relented and allowed me to hire my choice for the inside. They have finished demos, built walls, installed two complete baths, ETC, ETC in the last 4 days. I did not have to carry the first peice of mortor/tile out to his dump trailer. This contractor has made me realize, how nice it can be. I am in love.
Rehabbing DYI just may be a distant memory from now on.
BTW
The wife does not read BP. She don't know any better than to choose the wrong guy.
