Wow, something I may be abnormally normal at!
I am somewhat skilled at metal smithing (best with copper/silver/brass, but some other metals aren't much different), and I've spent plenty of time as a home owner fixing home-related problems. I've built several sheds, and spent a lot of time thinking of ways to use technology to make homes easier and cooler. I've also changed my car's oil, and diagnosed brake/coolant/and other car issues. Even better, I have friends who are exceedingly skilled at house/car issues, and can also communicate these kinds of issues to me exceedingly well. Let me know if you need help, and I can press them for assistance.
Thanks for the info. Are you or your friends in the Bay Area? We're trying to purchase a dorm for the fellows program. Will need to repair roof and some mold.
Unfortunately (in this context, at least), we live in Alaska. However, with more info, I could help work on the planning, cost estimation, and maybe come down to help work on it.
I don't want to speak for my friend, but I could ask him about helping. He's recently started a contractor business, and he may welcome work outside the state enough to waive or significantly reduce his fees. I know he has a point system for accepting jobs, so if there is a lot of fun and learning, profitability can be nil.
Sounds worth considering. We'll get estimates from inspectors etc, and will send you the info if you would like it. Just send your contact info to michael d-t vassar at gmail
