    Six grand was my cost to do it myself from Amazon on the cheap.
    I get there is a lot of labor cost, but I couldn't see giving out that much cash.

    The contractors come in with a box truck and two 55 gallon drums of the crap,
    and a $$ high pressure pump setup, so they have investment tied up in machine
    and materials. And labor for two spray guys and a helper.
    And they also wanted me to move everything, before they got here,
    so it's 3 feet from the walls, I just moved stuff into the other bays and covered it.
    Covering everything well is a key part of doing this job and having no mess.

    I just took the empty cans, punctured and crushed them w/excavator,
    and threw them in a junk car I was scrapping. easy - peasy.

    Yeah they got costs, I don't expect people to work for cost (not outside of trucking anyway lol) but it still sounds like a quote where they didn't care if you said yes or no.

    I guess you're right there, several were lower, none higher.
    I bought a snorkel lift to speed things up, I'm gonna resell it now I'm done.

    I built my shop 25 years ago. Conversation with insurance company last year stated my replacement cost is 4X what it cost me to build
    Insurance agent had contacted me since we had not updated policy in quite some time:eek:
