Hubby is Daddy-Daycare to 4 tots as well. And abuse fighter in Steemit (that pays pennies because flagging is negative curation).

We had a construction business back in Texas. We moved to OK and we had to remodel the house we bought. The banksters are merciless so you gotta do what you gotta do. DIY is definitely cheaper (but takes time and your labor so maybe it's not cheaper?) and glad you have experience on that. Many don't and get bent over the tables.

Blessings of strength and wisdom to you and Mrs. (@randfmomma). Just do what you can when you can and don't sweat it. I should say this to ourselves too
