Maybe these "negotiations" fly in your market, where there is a glut of
houses on the market (?), but not in mine...

You must only buy new....


I never said the figures I mentioned were in any way related to the cost of
having a pro do the work, or the cost of materials if I do the work. I said
the figures reflect what my time is worth on weekends when I could be doing
something I love, like fishing. Nobody but me can place a value on that
time.

Read slower.
