DIY in Eagle Rock
When it comes to do-it-yourself remodeling and redecorating, which projects are money savers and which ones become money pits (or, later, doctor's visits)? We asked Alan Hopkins to cast his votes. For more than a year, Hopkins has been transforming his 1920s bungalow in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of L.A., working nights and weekends with the help of friend David McCoy. They replaced the exterior siding, added insulation, installed new windows, hung new kitchen cabinets and refaced a garden wall, among other projects.
Now that the house has a fresh new face, inside and out, we asked Hopkins to score each project on a 1-to-10 scale of difficulty and estimate how much money he saved by doing the work himself. In some cases, Hopkins decided he would have been better off paying a pro to complete certain tasks. |
