Permitting and splitting contracting work interior+exterior
Comments (5)I don't blame the interior guy for not wanting to pull the permit for the entire job since he has no control over other portions of the job. In Cali, a Homeowner can pull the permit as owner/builder, essentially acting as their own general contractor. We've done that ourselves on several remodeling projects. Are your sure this can't be done in your area? If not, your other options would be to hire a general contractor or have each sub pull their own individual permit for their own portion of the job. I think you are going to be hard pressed to find a sub contractor willing to take responsibility for the entire job....See MorePermitting and splitting contracting work btn interior+exterior
Comments (4)Thanks, hosenemesis! I should mention that the T&M guy is really time in that he doesn't buy the materials mostly, he coordinates where we would pay Home Depot or whatever supplier directly for the materials going to our job, there's no markup. Two neighbors used him and I saw his work and am impressed, he's got a great eye for detail and usually guesstimates the length of time it will take (x weeks) and is usually pretty accurate, I've heard. At least three other people in my area use him and have been very complimentary. He is a solo guy with a business partner so I'm sure that 2-person team's work would take longer than a big contractor with a bigger team, and we have permitting issues using him alone because he doesn't do the exterior work we have a permit approval for, so we're going to slow down and see where this choice takes us while checking references on the larger contractors in the meantime. (it's worth mentioning that of our 3 bids thus far, 2 are around the same higher price and the much more itemized one is the lower one by a lot (about 20-25% lower), which makes me wonder whether the lower one is off somehow or the 2 higher ones are both too high.)...See MoreEnsuite design contract- help!

Comments (3)I agree with threers. I don't use the light on my ceiling fan unless I'm cleaning but, I love air movement and am most comfortable when the fan is moving. I have a lot of lamps that I use for lighting. Patricia's request for a scaled floor plans would help a lot. Looks like a lot of traffic paths. The sofa looks awkward in there. Does the house have a separate dining room or just an eating area in the kitchen? The dimensions look great for a dining table if you entertain enough to use it. Other ideas are a library/office that can serve as an eating area when you have guests. How do you anticipate using it?...See Moreyborgal
