I shot down to The Great Greydale this morning to check in with our handyman and make sure everything was on track with the fixes for our section 8 re-inspection. After that I swung over to the East side to meet Royce, a contractor I’ve worked with previously to get one of our properties rent ready. His daughter was the applicant, and he did an awesome job helping us out after another “handyman” screwed us over.
I wanted Royce to look at the McCarty house after having another contractor’s quote come in quite a bit higher than anticipated. I’ve done some work with the other guy, but he’s always come off as a bit pricey.
Well, while Royce and I were walking the house, the initial contractor showed up. We’d talked about having him ground the house so DTE could come out tomorrow and work on getting the power on. Lucky me he happened to show up when he did. It was a bit awkward, but what are you gonna do?
Royce seemed confident in the job and we’re going to talk it over in the next couple days hopefully coming up with a plan to get going while I’m gone.
