About your painting only-----I'm guessing you have a 2 story older home that needs painting. And I'm guessing you don't want to do the work yourself. So, are their any high school or college kids in your area, that could do the work on the first story only. They would need only 6 or 8 foot step ladders to do 1 story, and you would not take the risk of someone falling from 10-20 feet up, and getting hurt. Try to find 2-3 kids to do it on weekends, and pay them $10-$12 per hour, plus pizzas and pop. This is not highly-skilled work------anybody can scrape, and slap paint on the outside of a house. Of course, you would need to furnish all the paint and supplies. With the savings from the first story, you can afford to hire a professional painter for the 2nd story.

Thanks for the suggestion. It wont work in this case but still a good idea.
