I helped my son drive to New York for his first year of college...he wanted to have his car with him, and I was not happy about letting him make the trip by himself....so I went with, and helped drive...at the end of the school year, he drove himself back....said I was a hindrance...he got home twice as quick as it took the two of us to drive out there...
Well, there is a local contractor, that lots of people use around here, and they all seem very happy with his work, his guarantee, and his price...so we are checking him out as well as some of the bigger outfits....
But no matter who does it, it will be a drain on the savings, but it must get done...
