Here is a list of things to do. Update this list every day/week.
Flooring
One aspect of doing things ourselves is to save us the labor cost. For flooring, the builder charges around $27K, so if we just do a rough estimate of 60-40, for 60% of that total is the labor cost, then we arrive at the amount of $16.2K saving. That also means we have around $10.8K for the materials to cover the main & 2nd levels. Divide up that amount to the area of both floor (~2500sq-ft), we are talking about average of $4.32 per square-feet.
Flooring contractor, installing hardwood flooring, charges $1.50 - $3.00 per sq-ft.
