In some cases, they'd come out and give a quote but then we'd never hear from them again. Frustrating!<br /><br />We have a friend who is a contractor. We can get him to come out and do work sometimes (and he does great work!) but he always does it on the side and it always takes a long time because he fits us in-between projects or at nights. What we want done is usually small potatoes compared to his regular jobs, so we understand that - especially since he gives us a great rate.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236728213360355783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-33161462326398283932017-06-14T14:23:56.471-04:002017-06-14T14:23:56.471-04:00There are so many things that need to be done on t...There are so many things that need to be done on this house. Mainly, the windows need to be worked on. Either the wood painted (looks terrible) but I suspect some of it is rotted, so that means replacing with vinyl windows which is ridiculously expensive. Need the entire upstairs painted (hubs and I nearly divorced when we painted the living room together, so we do not do that anymore), bay window leakage issue, the deck needs desperate replacement. Carpet is 20 years old, linoleum is trash (was from the beginning), the whole nine yards. That's why I like sitting on my glider outside looking at my planted flowers and the awesome mulching job I did...it's the only thing that looks decent.

Our regular place closed when the owner retired. My mom has used Lowe's twice now and was really pleased. Since you are not at all pleased with who you are calling, try and see that happens.

We have lived in this house for 25 years, and it was two years old when we moved in. Everything was new then, but it's not new anymore. We have replaced the roof, put a new motor in our well, and some smaller things through the years, but live in fear of the furnace/AC going out at any moment. We just cross our fingers, procrastinate, and HOPE for the best.dupsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18088114640385927198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381223979507114346.post-11791584449078625092017-06-14T07:13:10.628-04:002017-06-14T07:13:10.628-04:00I look forward to how great the bathroom will look...I look forward to how great the bathroom will look when it's done but why is it always so hard to get contractors??
