Re: [DIY] Some thoughts on contractors

 

Update.

The no call/no show contractor finally *did* call, and *did* show up. He
looked everything over, and as I suspected the post holes will have to be
dug by hand because of the proximity to a gas line. That's going to cost
more, but I expected that. He's also thinking it's probably a one day job,
which may make up for the labor cost. I've been anticipating two days. He's
going to get back to me with an estimate.

I've already purchased the fence and am just waiting for its arrival. I
could have purchased the sac-rete, but was unsure of how much would be
needed.

So we'll see what happens. Can't do much of anything until the fence
arrives. I have no problem paying a portion of the job in advance, as a
sort of 'retainer' I guess. Final payment would be at the satisfactory
completion of the job.

BTW the second contractor that I called this afternoon has still not
returned my call.
