It kind of sucked to spend 110/hour just to have different stems put in, but I thought, hey better than tearing out the wall and now I know about generic stems not working.As it turns out, the "good" stems did not work - so that was a waste of 150 bucks (minimum time charge plus the stems).

I'm telling you had this been me I wouldn't waste all my time doing this unless it is a benefit to me.

I was hoping to bid around 78-80 2nd time around but dont want to waste my time.

:If/when interest rates increase you will regret giving back that money. 3.5% is keeper money IMO.Definitely agreeWhen we started rates were 18% so we dumped cash on the princ With today's rates I would lock & load for the long term as higher rates are not if but when!!!

When that happens, take my advice, drop back ten, take a deep breath and come at the project from a different perspective, start over with finding the right contractor for the job.Regarding the time spent doing walk-throughs with GCs....I used to think it was just a waste of time, but I soon realized that when going through a house and having a GC realize your vision, here is where you will find their creativity and perhaps a vision much better than yours.

Hell, help him load the truck too.
