    Hopefully everyone shows up this week and does their job. 
    Hot water tank
    New roof
    Stack repair 

    I'm getting on a plane Wednesday and hopefully I have seen everybody's shining, happy, hard working faces by then. If not? Then they can deal with my wife on Thursday.

    So, give me your estimate. Not that any of you have even been close with any previous guesses. Hahaha. Its a joke, don't take it personal. Anyway

    Going to take care of MINOR SEEPAGE in the basement. Going to dig along three walls, outside, but down a membrane, some type of drainage pipe? I'm guessing? And having the basement waterproofed. 

    What's the cost? Again, I ONLY get minor seepage, that can be taken care of with a couple towels. It's NOT a major problem.

    6k pure guess.
    where are you seeing the seepage?

    wonder if you have downspout drainage to the curb? if maybe the back to front pipe on one side is busted?

    otherwise, is the grade around the house sloped away properly?

    $4400
    It's a grading issue. 70 year old house, we all know there will be some settling. Plus some cracks in walls both interior and exterior. One day fix.
    I liked the one company that gave me a $10k to $15k estimate without ever coming to the house. I told them they could go fuck themselves. 

    Roofers have been here the last 2 days making progress. I'm guessing they won't be working on Mother's Day. I'm hoping not to see them until Monday to finish this up.

    Then the a/c gets installed and I finish working on the basement walls. Just a fresh coat of paint. A couple minor patch jobs then paint.

    I'm hoping to have this up for sale in 4 to 6 weeks.

    Perfect. 
    But I have to warn you, the crooked downspout will now be moved up to the front of the house.

    Youre doing French drains I take it?  Those are simple enough. One to 2 day job.1500-2000 a day.  That should be on the high side.

    Its excavating then putting in gravel and a corrugated pipe along the foundation.  Not much to it.

    I'm impressed with Mr. Gutter.
    He is a one man show, and literally makes zero noise. Other than the drill, he is silent.

    The 2 young men doing the waterproofing?

    My dear lord these men are working hard. They have been at it for 7.5 hours, and I'm guessing they will be here 3 more.
    I ran out this morning and filled a cooler with ice and Gatorade. About a half hour ago I handed them $100.00 and told them "drinks are on me tonight".

    If I attempted to do what these men are doing? I would have been in an ambulance 7 hours ago.
