Its great that they will build whatever you want, but why not save money and do it yourself if its within your means?

My girlfriends dad finished off their entire house. He even did masonary stuff around the fireplace, the entire downstairs including sheetrock, double insulation just the way he wanted, pergo floor with heating, electrical, the bathroom, etc,. etc.

He saved $20,000 and thats in PA money, thats like a million dollars in CT.
 
the nice thing about it is, if you learn to do one sheetrock section you know how to do all sheetrocking in the house. It's all the same. Same with floors. Pergo is SO easy and the results are awesome. Even things like doors and windows don't seem so bad to me now. Roofs aren't tough.. shit... None of it is (except house wiring.. I won't even replace a wall switch)
 
Bob,

Looks great!

The only thing I didn't see thus far (and I know this is probably only a big deal to me) is framing for a fireplace?
