Contractor Woes

βš’οΈπŸ”¨πŸ”¨βš’οΈπŸ”¨β€¦β€¦

Working with contractors has been quite a lesson for this gal who isn’t particularly fond of men. I’m not a lesbian, but men are certainly challenging, and definitely work differently than women.

Women want to get it done.

And this last guy has really challenged my patience.

It’s been over a month since the logs from the tree removal task have laid/lay on my property. And it wouldn’t bother me, it is attracting a lot of attention from neighbors and passer byes. When you’re a single gal up in the wilderness, you don’t want that kind of attention.

Today my contractor told me he was coming and of course he didn’t show. I’m glad I’ve held out five grand as I wonder if he’s actually going to come through.

While I am hopeful, I still wonder?

You always find out about a contractor too late. Especially if you’re the new girl in town.

Today I got a quote from a contractor which is $4000 less than someone I’ve had do much work on the cabin. Now I know I was overcharged on multiple items but lesson learned and it’s done. βœ”οΈ. Also the overcharger came when he said he was coming, and while that doesn’t enrich the bottom line, it means something.

The new guy also gave me some insight into my septic/ well system. So with these new insights will proceed. Even though it is August, and a little late in the season maybe something can be done?

My last possibility is igetting a hole in the backyard then placing a shed over it.

Need I say more?

According to Auntie Google NYS has no regulations on outhouses. One thing they haven’t thought of yetβ€¦πŸ’¬πŸ’­πŸ—―οΈπŸ’¬πŸ’­

Please don’t let them know.

Our secret 🀫

So will be having the window guy install the cabin porch windows, and with the $4000 extra maybe that will pay for a septic system?

One can dream.
