Things are Taking Shape
It's so pleasing to admire professional work with Paul's team onsite. Especially when things have been in disarray for a while. Even small things like the well-built frame of a future medicine cabinet can bring a lot of hope.
I feel compelled to say that we probably could do this ourselves, and have in fact done a lot of the framing upstairs up to this point. This wall, however, is going to be integral to our new shower and that was a task that we decided we really should contract out.
The tight fit of the room (see here) and the glass and tile work required made us nervous that any errors could be costly and/or visible. We're just not ready to take on a project with so little margin for error, so getting professional help seemed to make sense.
The other important benefit is speed--these guys do in a day what we'd do in a weekend. We're actually going to have a second bathroom some day!
Up next we'll post some photos of the shower framed in...

I say you are 100% right in choosing professionals for certain jobs. I learned a long time ago, if I had doubts about my ability to do a certain project, I probably couldn,t do it. Ergo, call in the pros...POPS"30"

Agreed. The most important thing that you, as a homeowner, should know is when to do something yourself, and when to call in a professional. Not knowing that (sometimes subtle) difference can cost you a *lot* of money.

55 yrs ago, I thought I could wire a new house, got most outlets done, until the unions pulled all the other trades. Had to get a pro, at full price, thus nothing saved. Yup, sometimes we get smart too late!
