Having cash can avoid trips to bank to pay bills or pick up building materials when you do improvements.

But materials tend to be a bit cheaper at menards so I buy more from them.

for the large part I purchase the bulk of the materials myself.

Contractor suggested wood as the material, however I thought wood is more difficult to upkeep.

While disposals do make the solids smaller in size, the material still goes down the pipe and gets trapped in the defects causing blockage sooner and more frequently.

This should pass in short order.However, if the wrong adhesives or prep materials were used during installation, then this may be an issue that will not go away quickly.

The only things I use trade lines for are things like gas and possibly materials from The Home Depot or some such.

OTOH, if you make some product that takes you 100 hours to make, costs $1000 in materials and you can sell for $10,000 a piece, you can make 11 a year and make $100K and be working only half time.

For a complete remodel I usually say 2k per bathroom labor and material.5) In indiana, if you are selling the home within 12 months you are not allowed to do any of the major work on mechanicals, and need to hire licensed profesionals which gets pretty pricey.

Also, are you the type that can read books, study materials and read and ask questions on forums such as BP and apply that in the real world or are yo the type that requires more hands on experience to accomplish that same goal?
