[quote=Anonymous]I used to do most work myself. I had a demanding job. Gone maybe 69-65 hours a week at work. Three young kids. A fixer upper house and stay at home wife. My regret not hiring folks, not pre ordering materials and in mad rush tons of short cuts I look at all the time. Duct tape on plumbing, inside nails outside, non pressure treated scrap wood outside, stick on linoleum tiles on top of cracked marble, missing white flashing just painting wood white, changing breaker to larger Amo to stop flickering lights. I don’t regret the work I later hired folks to do professionally but why did I try to fix so much with limited tools, time or skills? Thank god I cemented shut hole I made to do some foundation work. I used cinder blocks, pressure treat wood, Rocks and a car Jack! I think I went overboard. I sold house. I did my best to undo my handiwork. But I can’t remember it all. I recall once at Ace around closing time bought flex seal can and fixed roof leak. [/quote]
