    Been there, done that. It's a lot of work, just don't let your wife sell it while your out of town working. Really like the well house! You'll really like it when it's finally finished.

    I didn't go through all of them but that looks like a serious redo. I've been working on mine so long some of the first things I did are now needing repairs but I still like doing that stuff.
    That's nice having the living quarters while you do the work on the house, good job.
    For peace of mind, resign as general manager of the universe

    we found a handy man for $10/hr turned out to be family.he did most of the heavy hitting stuff youd think he was a meh-ikkin as hard as he worked.most of the overbudget went to paying him but wed still be framing walls by now if it werent for him.
