Greg, thanks!

Curious, any vague rough ballpark of how much floor restorers might charge to get all this demo and restoration done by pros? About 180 sf of floor.

I’ve decided to start figuring what DIY projects are worth doing and which are stupid doing. I mean, at some age the “I need the exercise” argument starts wearing thin.

Like, I got a bunch of quotes for the exterior stripping and painting project and know that was worth doing (because the only painters who are stripping lead paint to bare wood are the high-buck ones, a neighbor with a similar size/age house spent over $60K with such a company ten years ago and I can only imagine what they charge now). The money I spent to have a pro plumber move two copper lines using Sharkbites was totally not worth it. The money I spent to have an electrician replace my main panel was kind of worth it. Etc.
