Teller Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 A guy runs into a girl on a street corner. She smiles at him and says, "I'll do aaaaanything you want for 200 bucks." He says, "Here's two bills. Go paint my house." *rimshot* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 I'd do the painting. It's the repairing and woodwork I'm not as sure about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosher Ham Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I'd do the painting. It's the repairing and woodwork I'm not as sure about. Understandable. I would do both. I will ask my wifes' uncle, who builds houses (he won't be able to help you based on location, and he is expensive). What type of work do you need ? I bet it is not as difficult as it seems. we have a two story foyer, we dont want to have to bring in scaffolding You rent one or one of those giant ladders. I did mine and my house is huge. Same issue with the foyer and the stairs going upstairs. I just take personal pride with doing some stuff myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Basically, there's some wood that's gotten really weathered that I somehow was paying attention too that looks like it needs to be stripped and replaced right below the roof line. I got a note from the HOA who pays better attention. They called it a fascia. ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosher Ham Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Okay. I will shoot him a text. Is it rotted or molded ? Leaking ? Below the roof line, I probably would not do myself, just because I am not as familiar with that type of stuff and what the right procedure would be. But who knows, I will ask him.

mcsluggo Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 i also need some exterior work/painting of my exterior trim (i have no idea of the correct term... the ornate woodwork above the brick and below the gutters)..... i STARTED to try to do the painting myself, but frankly it is too much of a pain in the arse. Painting itself isn't bad at all, but clearing away the old crap is a pain in the butt, ESPECIALLY when it is patterned, rather than flat. It isn't VERY ornate, but it is ornate enough to be a pain for someone who doesn't have any real idea what they are doing. anyway... i already needed that done, and then a tree fell on my house and cracked the side trim (not ornate) and ripped the gutter partially off, tearing up the wood behind the gutter. Ideally... I need someone that is very "meticulous" for wood-work (charged to insurance) and very cheap for painting/stripping (charged to me!) ...
