The person who gave you the quote - how long did he say all this work
might take?
More to the point, how long did it take him and what was his hourly wage
(exclusive, of course, of taxes including self-employment/FICA/workmans
comp, health and other benefits, etc., etc, etc., ...?

It didn't take "him" any time at all, because the OP didn't have the guy
do the work.

"HIM" was referring to OP...to provide "him" w/ a proper frame of
reference...

OK, but that's the other side of the coin. If I'm a neurosurgeon and my
time's worth (random guess) $1400 per hour, I'd have to be nuts to think I'd
be saving money by doing a $1500 home project myself if it means losing a
day of work.

I want to know how long the contractor said the work would take.
