Couple comments: I was qualified to build everything myself. County kinda required contractor, but they later got sued and had to capitulate. Roofs always get 6 nails per shingle, I tell them that upfront and I'm on the roof while they are there, or they do it over. If they whine about the extra $100, I give them 5 ea $20's and want the reciept and the left over box.

Cant predict 20 years in the future, or at least I haven't been able to. I do what makes me happy now and if I am around then, so be it. My brother says cry once is cheaper than anything else
