My next-door neighbor was our general contractor, brick mason, rough and finish carpenter, plumber, electrician, and architect. We subbed out the HVAC and granite countertop, but we did the rest. I did the demo and installed the hardwood floors, painted, etc... My wife was a trooper and kept the family sane while the entire house was torn up for 18 months. The project went even better than we expected and we're all still friends and we love the house, especially the new kitchen. Renovating a house, especially while living in it is NOT as easy as shown on TV!
