Update...not so bright...

[parishht]

My 2 cents,

keep going, I have a house that was built in 1810,
every month there is something to fix,
I have called contractors to do some work for me,
they give me estimates, build up their work,
tell me yeah I can do that, but when it comes time to show up,
I never hear from them again.
I end up doing it myself and there is nothing like the
satisfaction of kicking back and admiring
a job done better than a contractor by yourself.
The reason it is better is because you can spend a little extra to get quality supplies,
no corner cutting.

Remember, it is a labor of love and not a labor for money. ;)
