I guess “hire someone” is always an option, but it’s a difficult task sometimes, especially finding someone reliable. It’s not even that the larger thing is outside my ability, it’s just “ugh, I don’t have time for this”.

Curious if anyone has any tips and tricks to overcome this kind of paralysis.

    One rule of thumb I’ve heard for estimating repairs as a homeowner is to take however long you think it should take, double the number and increase the time unit

    • “I can do that in two hours” --> 4 days
    • “It should take a day” --> 2 weeks
    • “It’s a short project. Maybe a month.” --> 2 years

      So that’swhy kitchen isn’t finished yet, I estimated about 3-4 months… guess my kid(s) will get to enjoy it or become labor!
