This wears me out thinking about how much work it must have been. I replaced our entire roof one year - all by myself - the project always sounds easier than actually accomplishing the task. :) Wow, very impressive.

I don't think I'd ever do this again by myself. However, I stress that this could still be done at a reasonable cost after market like I did, even if you hire someone to come in and professionally do it. Builder upgrades are costly. @Tiffany – Yeah, this one was pretty tough. I don’t think I’d ever do this again by myself.

This was very motivating. I admit to feeling a little overwhelmed at times when it comes to major stuff like this. I'm trying to get several small victories under my belt to increase my confidence in tackling a big project! Thanks, PT. This was very motivating.

Truth is we all have two hands just like the professionals. It might take us a little bit longer but the money saved makes a big difference! We installed 1200 sq ft of hardwood two years ago and saved over $5K in labor. That is money going directly to the bottom line we call retirement!Great job on the flooring!

Right now, I do some small stuff around the house- I change the batteries in our cars, paint, some light carpentry. But a massively awesome project like this! Phew- super manly.
