What would be a ball park labor figure for some home improvement I am having done?

Monday, April 21st, 2008
Artiecat asked:


I am having part of basement redone after flood damage. I would like to know a ball park figure for the following utilizing a 320 sq ft space.

Old paneling removed, old tile (wet underneath) removed. All hauled away by contractor. Replace with insulation and water-resistent dry wall; wood laminate floor (flooring at around 75.00 per sq ft). Install three doors in lieu of old paneling and panel doors. Paint dry wall all around. The figure I am looking for does not include materials as I am paying for them separately. I am interested in a labor figure.

Sandrae - Spiritual Advisor asked:


Recently, I keep seeing these Lowes Coupons for 10% off that expire in May 2008. When you try to get them, you have to sign up for lowes.moving then you have to wait till they come in the mail. Or there is a website that wants you to pay them $3.99 per coupon and they will email you the coupon. There are no coupons on Couponmountain 007 or anything else. Even Ebay are selling them…it looks like they came in an ad or something like that. I need something rather quickly. Does anyone know where I can find this coupon?

My parents put a manufactured home on a piece of property which is owned by a family company?

Sunday, April 6th, 2008
CCG asked:


They have never lived here. I am the only occupant who has ever lived here for almost 10 years. Is there any way of transferring ownership to me without raising red flags or getting murdered by taxes? I want to be able to get a home equity loan to purchase the property, do some home improvements and debt consolidations but it needs to be in my name. Any suggestions??
