Yes a well thought out reply, Not looking for a free one just looking
to buy one and install it myself, There is very little a contractor
can do that I can not do. As it is I do my own building, electrical,
pluming, mechanic work. In the last 40yrs I have hired one contractor
to do a 1000' addition. I fired him after 6 months and no work by him,
did it myself, including the electrical, and pluming. Took my car to
a mechanic and ended up doing the work myself. Yes maybe tight but
why pay for the labor when I can do it.
