The reframing of the sun porch continues.. . .

And my appreciation for my carpenters grows with each day, too!

I am planning several electrical upgrades in conjunction with this restoration. My neighbor gave me the contact info of an electrician that he used. The result was an estimate for the work of $4,850.00. After mentioning this to my carpenters, Mr. A. suggested another electrician with whom he had worked. For the same work, he bid a total of $2,500.00. Like, DUH. Contractors are all over the place, it's the buyers who always have to be weary: Caviat Emptor Maximus!
