Oh, Matt, you don't live in cohousing, do you? Sorry, that was a wee bit condescending! It's just that painting 25 or more units is incredibly time-consuming and a complete impossibility for a community full of people with day jobs. In the time it would take me to paint my house, a contractor could paint 5 houses or more, and do it better. It just doesn't make sense. Also, we have two-storey houses, and it would involve a significant risk that many homeowners are not willing to take. And what about the people who aren't physically capable of doing it? Do they have to pay more, just because they are disabled? We're not talking about each homeowner-painter doing one house, we're talking more like two houses. It's completely unworkable. The only instance that it would make sense for homeowners to DIY would be lot development models. Liz > Ummm, painting isn't terribly difficult, just labor intensive.
