Bub,

I don't think you'll find a $20/hr. guy with a table saw and compound
miter saw in the back of his truck. This does not sound like a "hand tool"
job. This might be the route for the painting.

Well, you can't find a contractor to save your soul. Tells me that
they got you bent over a log. They'll charge exhorbitant rates and if
you don't like it, they'll go elsewhere. That's the beauty of the
free market, isn't it? Why should contractor's operate by different
rules than say the oil companies?
