I've lost count of how many stories I've heard of people falling off of ladders trying to save a few bucks cleaning their own gutters or painting. Hire someone who knows what they are doing is my advice.

I've also seen educated people whose time should have been more valuable spend an entire summer painting the outside of a medium-sized house that would have taken me a week or two when I was a painter, (with workers). You are one of the smarter guys here, Jyl. Use your brain to make $$ and pay dumber guys like me to paint your house.
