We're looking to add sliding doors to close off the front room in our newly built home. The challenge is that since it's an open concept, we don't have a partial wall to attach the doors to. We'll need a partial frame on either side, around 30 inches each, plus a bulkhead to install the door track. My husband and I have experience flipping houses, but I'll be six months pregnant when we tackle this project, which has me wondering if we should just hire a contractor instead. What do you guys think?

From my experience, DIY projects can take ages to start, and then they may drag on even longer. On the flip side, hiring a contractor means the job could be done in just a day or two, and they’ll handle all the mess, which is a big plus.
When my wife was seven months pregnant, we didn’t even consider DIY for major projects. Hiring a contractor was the best choice for us – less stress and it got done quickly.
That’s what I’m leaning towards! I really don’t want to spend $15k, but I think it might save me a lot of stress.
Great points, I definitely see the appeal in that!
