Most of the original windows in my place are sizes no longer made. It's become easier to rip out sections of exterior walls and reframe them rather than screw around with odd sized windows.
Unfortunately my contractor's bill will be keeping me poor for a while yet. 3 days to fish a wiring conduit and install the microwave?
I hate physical labor too, but my disgust with so-called professionals compels me to take on tasks that I feel I can tackle.
Did I tell you about the time I called an appliance repairman who charged me $130 to thaw the frozen icemaker fill tube without dealing with what caused the fill tube to be full of ice? Of course the problem resurfaced. Took me 10 minutes of googling to diagnose the problem, the part was $37, and installation took about 45 minutes. Problem solved.
