As a start. Do you think that's a good way to go - to begin, at least?

And YES, I totally understand and see your point (i.e, the $3,000 versus the $200 fix). I know that some of these companies will try to take total advantage, especially of someone who doesn't know about construction and building. That's why I want to learn as much as I can.

Another question - because of all of this, I'm going to be facing some repairs and I'd like to do some updating at the same time. New vanities in the bathrooms, new flooring, new kitchen cabinets. I'm assuming that this would all be best done at generally the same time, right? But the plumbing probably the first step.

Thank you!!!!
