Place, call the handyman.

Works every time.

There are some jobs I take care of myself, but I'm one to keep the handyman busy quite a bit.

I have a number of projects I want to complete around this house in the coming year; the handyman charges $20/hr. plus cost of materials, while my time is worth a few hundred an hour.

It's a no-brainer, as I'd rather spend my 'free' time reading or hanging out with friends, than getting frustrated over DIY home improvement.

I rather enjoy DIY home improvement (other than painting). Besides, I usually do a better job than any handyman.

Gee, on that basis bsg, shouldn't you pay the handyman to do your reading and friend-hanging (I use nails)? It's far more economical considering your hourly rate :nana :ok :lol:

FINALLY we're going to close on Saturday at 1pm. A notary is coming by the house with a stack of papers to sign. The company is an LP and spent a lot of time dithering around asking for the same documents and then complaining that we weren't making monthly installments on the 2nd mortgage (maybe they had never heard of a zero-interest loan) and then complaining about HO insurance which had been adequate for the prior two refis. I can't figure out how this business model can work for them. They must re-sell the loans immediately and make most of their margin on the (low) origination fees because god knows putting out a 30-year loan at 3.75% locks in what looks like a uselessly low return.
