Word Out to Contractors

2PM: Just finished making calls to contractors:

The first contractor, Lowe (the first most definitely in Lisa's heart... the local one with the father who was my family doctor 30 years ago) went smoothly. I spoke with the receptionist who almost giddily took my info and would have Gary the project manager (whom we met at the same meeting) call me back to coordinate the hand-over of materials.

The second contractor, Herman (and the first ones we met with; the architect brought us together...another local group), I couldn't speak to. I left my info on Richard's voice-mail. We'll see what happens.

The third contractor, Coastline (and the non-local late-comer; Lisa met with the folks around the corner who are using them and happy with the work), had me on a phone-tree/answer service loop for a couple of minutes. Then the receptionist was not nearly as giddy, though still nicely sociable; she took my info and said that Tal would return my call.

Let's see how long it takes for them to get back in touch with me.

[UPDATE:

2:17: Tal from Coastline has just called. The contractor Fred is in the neighborhood today, if I have the drawings. No such luck... tomorrow at noon. No problem Tal says, she'll call me back tomorrow and arrange a time for Fred to come by Friday or at the latest Monday. The job on Clara is wrapping up in the next two weeks (two months ahead of schedule)... sounds too good to be true (and you know what that means...)]
