Sorry if you're looking due to the needy title. I don't really need any help today, just wanted to talk about help...
So I've been workin on my garage for a year and a half. Most people would slam up a garage, put some outlets in, OSB, and done. Me, I've got to read this forum, and find all the little cool to haves, A floating shelf, Car lift, air lines in the wall, network cable, two bathrooms etc.
The problem with this is I havn't drawn up a detailed set of plans for everything. I kind of just figure it out as I go. The problem is that I'm now the only person on earth who knows exactly how I want the job done. So far that's meant at most I could have 1 person generally helping me. It *****. Although I enjoy having things done my way. Doing everything myself in my **** manner has chewed up a lot of summer evenings, propane in the winter, and a good measure of my wife's patience.
So how do yall deal with having to have things done your way? I only see two options. Do everything yourself, or come up with a very detailed set of drawings that others can see what you want.
Who do you get to help? Family? Friends? hired out? Co workers?
I should say I've had a bit of success with craigslist. I generally post gigs for help at $10/ hr, and have had some success. Much better than $40/hr to a contractor even though it might be a bit more hasstle.
