As the window gets bigger the glass is also thicker, adding to costs and especially weight.

One I remember well as it was about 32F and I thought LA, why would I take a coat. 

One read I have found useful is The White Coat Investor Blog.

@J Scott I appreciate you breaking it down like that, from what I’ve experienced so far, it seems like Eastern NC is pretty similar I’m coat to your flips in Georgia. 

I'm no professional, but I like to give a place a fresh coat of paint at minimal cost. 

I've had hundred-pound dogs in places where I've laid down three coats of oil-based poly.

If I want a certain skim coat depth on the drywall, I say that.

Obviously, the thicker it is the more durable it will be.

Sorry to be honest but I'm not one to sugar coat things.This is like buying a car that I know the motor is bad and I don't have the money to fix it .

I emailed him about it after I searched the work and the time between coats and he said he used a dry torch for the sealant or whatever it's called and said he performed work that should have cost me $14k.
