It's also small and rectangular (22' x 36' 1.5 story) so it shouldn't be difficult or a big project. It's not like I'm adding a basement or adding a second story to it. That's what baffles me though is that it's going to be in the 10's of thousands of dollars to do (in just labor) yet the GC's that I talk to don't want to mess with these 'little jobs'.
Times are good and everyone's out to make easy money. Lifting a smaller, gutted house like yours is very easy and that can be a great money maker for them. Hill side?
