Everything is ridiculously expensive to have done...

Got a quote 2 years ago for Hardie on my house, new gutters, etc... $27k

Same quote 4 months ago? $33k

I'm residing my house myself next spring, and adding 2" of poly-iso insulation. Going with an LP smartside 4x8 sheet product to make it "quick and easy". Materials are less than $6k. Quoted Hardie Plank siding for myself, materials would jump to ~$8k.

Stupid 70's construction with almost no insulation...
