You need to trim down everything to make more sense, the more you talk, the more you confuse your situation.

I have a guy that works way cheaper then he should and does them for about $1300 labor which I know is crazy so I am trying to get a grasp on reality when I start shopping rates again.For a small full bathroom we typically do a complete gut except we keep the tub and reglaze it -  Labor usually consists of ceramic tile shower surround/tile floor - new toilet,light,mirror,towel bar,faucet, shower head - trim and painI know this is region specific but just interested to hear others

Ceiling white, SW repose grey in eggshell for the walls and bright white in semigloss for the trim.

We're still on our first bottle and have painted many cabinets, doors and trim. 

But the appraiser standard maybe otherwise.It looks okay as-is and everything is functional, but the paint on the trims are peeling.

If it passes inspections make sure you have rodent control in place and clean your gutters & roof regularly, do annual tree trimming etc.

if so, i would dig next to it to see how deep it is, it needs to be at least 18" to 24" deep, this is a barrier that keeps it from spreading past that. you will also just want to check for off shoots/ roots that may be going over the barrier, just trim them back. if the barrier is that deep and you keep the off shoots back you will be fine.

The grass and hedges trim cost me $80 per month.

On a typical project, here are the contractors I'll probably use:- Demo- Roofer- Painter- Carpenter- Plumber- Electrician- HVAC- Window Company- Tile Guy- Carpet Guy- Hardwood Guy- Cabinets/Countertops Company- Termite Inspection- Landscaping- Garage Door Company- House CleanerIn addition, on many projects I'll also use:- Drywall Guys- Insulation- Surveyor- Structural Engineer- Inspectors- Concrete Company- Driveway/Paving Company- Grading- Tree Trimming- Shower Glass CompanyFor big projects, new construction:- Architect- Civil Engineer- Foundation- Asbestos Removal- Sediment Control- Excavation, Dirt Hauling- Interior Sprinklers- Stone WorkEach of those contractors will typically get between 1-4 draws, depending on the scope of the work they have for the project.Then there are materials and other non-labor costs:- Permits (0-3 transactions per project)- Porta Pottys (0-3 transactions per project)- Home Depot Materials (3-5 transactions per project)- Dumpsters (1-3 transactions per project)- Paint Purchase- Cabinets/Countertops Purchase (2-4 transactions per project)- Flooring Material Purchase (1-2 transactions per project)- Specialty Material Suppliers (0-10 transactions per project)- Utility/Service Installation (0-5 transactions per project)- Private Inspections (0-5 transactions per project)- Insulation/Airtightness Tests- AppliancesOn top of that, I will potentially write several checks to:- Title Company- Property Inspector- Appraiser- General Contractor or Project Manager- Interest Payments- Utility Payments- Tax PaymentsOn top of that, I have my general business expenses:- Accounting- Legal- Interest Payments- Tax Payments- Brokerage Fees- E&O Fees- MLS Fees- Overhead/Office (Supplies, Equipment, Subscriptions, Software, etc)- Telephone/Fax/Internet- Income from Property SalesAll of these easily add up to a couple hundred transactions on a large project or new build, meaning many dozen per month. 

Except for the two bedrooms, I took every room down to the studs = new wiring, plumbing, insulation, drywall, flooring, fixtures, counters, doors, trim, windows, appliances, roof, gutters, landscaping, fence).
