I'm doing 100% of it.

Flooring, sheetrock, electrical, paint, cabinets, etc.

Why would I pay a contractor 70k to do something I can do in 3 weeks?

Even if I couldn't do it, why pay a contractor to sub it out and pocket 40k? Sub it all out yourself and save a ton of money.

From experience - one of these things is not like the others.

If it isn't done right, you will have headaches for as long as you live in the house.
You will also have serious fire hazards and probably not know it.

Question is why are you paying a general nearly 60%? The most you should pay a general is 20%.
