I used to tackle projects like this myself but like you got too busy to it on myself. I now use Luis from Andino glass (a referral from a friend) for all of my window jobs. He's done a mainfloor full bay window replacement in an occupied house and had it completed in less than a day. Also, his...

I've been really happy with Supreme concrete. It's a little less the more windows you do ($450 x 3 windows). Also if you need holes cored for your venting they'll do it at the same time for cheaper than anyone else I've found (including renting the equipment and doing it myself...ugh)...

I'd suggest first investing in Edmonton's ACRE event happening in October. It opened my eyes to a whole new world of real estate investing and brought clarity to my investing goals. I hope it does for you what it did for me. http://s.reincanada.com/www/store/detail/Edmonton-ACRE-Live-Program

After March 2016 would you say that an 'on demand' system maybe be a better option?
