your friends are better than mine then. Im not saying that they wont help with some stuff, because they have before. A few members on here helped with my new driveway a few years ago, but when it comes right down to it I have to plan on doing the whole project solo or hiring someone to do it.
I just had 5 new windows installed yesterday. 2100 bucks OUCH… Plus a new porch roof a few months ago = $1350… plus I’ve been repainting the outside all summer which will probably cost $750 in paint when its done…
