Contractors
Posted by K Tue, 17 Jan 2006 05:16:00 GMT
So far I have spoken to two contractor-types, a real contractor type and a design firm that is probably not what we want (or, not what we want given we don’t have a ton of money to spend and the guy I talked to already got all kind of snooty about kitchen remodeling costs). Anyway, I talked to them and I didn’t die. It is still terrifying and I have no idea what I am doing, but we are going to meet with some of these people anyway and see what they have to say. We have two right now and a line on a couple more, so we should be able to get a couple of estimates to compare.
I have a million questions about how the contractor stuff works, and about how it can work when we are living across the country, and how we get things like bathtubs delivered. And right now I am not thinking about it at all and watching 24.
It seems like all people, no matter what they have had done and who they are, complain about contractors either costing more than they thought it should have cost or going over time estimates. Or both. I am already ready for both of these things, although I am still secretly hopeful things will go okay.
