It’s not because they cost me money every time they walk through the door, though that’s certainly an endearing quality. No, the best thing about contractors is that they have an authority I don’t. So when they tell Leah something that I’ve told her before and been dismissed for, she listens to them. Thank God they don’t charge for doling out advice.
We were out this morning to meet with a pest inspector, a plumber, and a general contractor who might do our floors and put in a new kitchen countertop. We’ve received one bid so far, for the floors, and it was pricey. We’ll just have to see how all this shakes out.
