    [quote=bearishgurl]ucodegen, pardon me if I missed it but, are you a civil engineer? You seem very knowledgeable.[/quote]
    My father was a general contractor. I put myself through college by building houses (4 of them) in an earthquake zone (near Tujunga, CA). I also helped with maintaining and modifying(additions, etc) the house I grew up in. I guess you could say I was a technically precocious kid (did my first unsupervised water pump replacement on a 1963 Buick Skylark at 12yrs old).

    I have an EE/CE degree, though I also have a fairly strong Physics background (was originally going for Physics – but changed majors mid-way).

    [quote=briansd1]UCGal, you’re lucky to have an architect husband to fix up your house.

    Are you keeping track of all the work and how much it would cost “retail”?[/quote]

    LOL!

    Funny, I was just about to post the same thing to UCGal.

    What a lucky, lucky gal you are to have an architect husband who is willing to get his hands dirty…and who knows what he’s doing! Wow. 🙂
