  I have a framed attic space I’m finishing into a bedroom/office. There’s a gas line of copper pipe that runs right across the opening into what would be the obvious closet. Needs to be shifted three feet back to the other side of the studs.

  I don’t mess with gas so wanted to get someone licensed to do it. One ghosted his appointment. Another asked for $150 to even show up to give a quote. The one quote I have says $2500-3500. Three others haven’t picked up or returned calls. I’ve worked copper pipe before. This would take me an hour, tops. Maybe $50 materials. I guess I’ll go without a closet here.

  Same story for adding a window. $8000 initial estimate from the one person willing to show up. Guess the existing window is good enough for me now.

  Everything else I’m doing myself and having a good time with it.
