[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]$ amount is meaningless. My MIL owns her home now 55 years.

Her husband replaced windows, put new roof on, put a bathroom in, redid den installed appliances, painted, put a deck in even did concrete all by himself. He is very handy.

His $ investment is low but his house in perfect as he is really good at it. [/quote]

Most of what your FIL did required permits - windows, roof, bathroom, deck. I hope he followed all the codes. You wouldn't likely know if he did or didn't, but whoever eventually buys her home better do serious inspections. [/quote]

He is very very highly skilled. I have never seen anything he could not fix.

But his town homeowners performing “in kind repairs” require no permits.

I used to do work my self years ago. My town plumbing and electrical done by homeowner directly require no permit. My FIL helped. He literally has like 50k worth of tools and massive workshop at home.

My house I have currently I did work requiring a permit myself. I got permit and was a joke. Waste of money. My old town I was exempt from that [/quote]
