Sometimes doing it yourself costs more. If you consider how much she makes hourly over the time it took to do it, that alone may be more. Plus for many people you’d have to buy expensive power tools. And finally if you fuck it up and have to pay someone to do it,‘it’ll cost more for them to fix it. My dad works in contracting and often deals with it. The customer balks at the price then either hires a cheaper person or DIY. Then they call him back and his price goes up, if he’s even willing at all at that point, because it’s a lot more work to fix and undo the damage to now make it look like it should

You’d actually be surprised how much cheaper it can be doing it yourself. When you go through other people or companies they don’t just charge you for materials but for the time they take to do it. My husband works on our house and most the materials he gets are free because he works for a construction company, he already has all the tools he needs and he gets our lights, and paints on sale and cheaper than full price. So it actually is a lot less than having other people do it. We do the same for our car parts, we get them brand new but cheaper than they would be going to a mechanic, and we switch them out and fix our own cars if we ever have anything that needs fixing.

I wish she mentioned cost of the project for transparency. Like yay new skills, but also the person that quoted her the original price already had the skills and was just quoting their price... Sometimes DIYers downplay the skills of contractors because of sticker shock, that's pretty insulting to a tradesperson. 🤷🏻♀️ Anyway I'm impressed either way, but tell us the cost.

@@cameljargon Fully agree. It feels like she is devalueing constructors work, in a way. I get it is expensive and she might not had the money, and that doing it yourself can be more rewarding (if it isn't crazy stressful), but constructors have the skills and charge for their time and abilities just like she does at her work, so don't downplay it as something ANYONE could do for cheaper when that is not true.

Even if she bought used ones, price will still be higher. Just judging by the size of her closet and the amount of shoes she owns, you can confidently say $5400 is nothing to her.
