Quote from @Joe Fish: Quote from @Greg Kasmer: Michelle - My property management companies offers oversight of a larger project/renovation for 10%.

The plumber who I spoke to says the pit in the picture is really big and the cost of labor plus gravel/concrete to make the pit smaller plus the cost of replacing the ejector pump is 5K.

What @Joe Villeneuve said.

You can do it yourself; the process isn't terribly complicated and doesn't require much technical skill, but it is a lot of physical labor, and you'll probably want to get friends to help.

These help me weather a storm with low STR occupancy numbers like many are facing across the country.Higher insurance rates, STR permit fees, labor costs for repairs and cleaning, regime fees (for condos) make running a profitable STR even more difficult.  

I'll offer myself as free (Saturday) labor for any experienced DIYers who might teach me trick or two.

Hi @Joe S.!

@Joe Funari well said.

Here's a concept.. buy a fixer house and use your teens for free labor.
