Can I Get A Hand?
So we spent a whopping $175 at Ikea on a countertop, sink and faucet - what a deal, right? Too bad getting them installed is a complete pain in the ass...
The lone "licensed" contractor that returned Susan's calls gave us an estimate of $560 for one day's work, but we balked at spending 3 times as much on labor as materials - does that make us cheap?
Lo and behold, some local handymen charge a mere $15 an hour for their services. But are they actually available anytime in the next 4-6 weeks? Of course not. There seems to be an opportunity here - anyone know a semi-licensed handyman that's actually available?
