Thank You!! I come from a family of very talented woodworkers. My Grandpa and his brothers, between the 6 of them, built everything from furniture and cabinets to garages and houses. My dad and brother are also both talented, and my son is well on his way. I just chose steel as my material. Besides that, if you cut your board too short, you have to go back to the lumber yard and get another one. If I cut my steel too short, I weld it back together and start over.
We've paid to have some of our work done. I hired a plumber for the new sewer lines and paid a guy to finish the sheet rock. The sewer line was outside of my skill set and the drywall came down to the "Ability vs Desire" argument. I have the ability, just not the desire to finish drywall.

Yes, you can!! There were a few spots I had to touch up, but it beat doing the whole thing myself.

I've come to the realization that when it comes to finish work: I can't do it as cheap as a professional can.

Yes finishing drywall stinks!!! It's hard to find someone reliable to do it for you too. I hired 2 diffrent guys and neither finished. I didn't even question either quote just asked when can you start?

Doesn't help I got 11' 6" ceilings. Not sure either took that into account?

I can install it well enough, but finishing is quite another story. I never could get that right.
