Just wondering about the foundation on your house. Did you hire it done or did you do it your self?
We have gotten bids ranging from $26k to over $40k. Waiting to hear from one more contractor.
Got a bid to excavate the site at $2000.00. A bid for $7800.00 for the stryofoam forms for the walls. $600 for the drain pipe to go around the footings. The rebar at $1500 rough estimating.
One bid is $9792 for the basement slab. A different bid is $6000 for the walls concrete with a lower price for the basement floor.
I am seriously starting to wonder if we can do it ourselves and instead of paying someone to do it we can put that money into the materials needed.
Husband is good at measuring, I stink at it, but I'm good at running equipment.
Any thoughts on doing it ourselves? Yes I have been cruising through DIY network web site.
