Well, with the current economy, you can be sure that there are PLENTY of contractors out there who will be showing up or at least calling.

I'm a small remodeling contractor in the SF Bay area and am always amazed at contractors that run their businesses this way, HOW do they stay in business. Also read the following post from another person about contractors that don't call or show up, again it's those rotten contractors that make it hard for the rest of us. Have faith, (not the religious type) there are some contractors that do call and show up. I'm one of them...I always keep close contact and realistic schedules for my clients. Now I know why I haven't had to advertise my business, word of mouth travels fast about a contractor that actually shows up, cleans up and finishes the project in a timely manner. Good luck, and too bad you don't live in Oakland CA, I'd come over and give you a hand. I just finished reading your blog on the contractor that wouldn’t show up for weeks.

Just had to comment because I've heard the same complaint from so many people lately - contractors not showing up and/or not calling to mention that they're not going to show up. It seems like a recurring theme - and I think your method of dealing with it is the only way: stay calm and agreeable and eventually they'll get to you and do the work you need. Good luck - your renovations looks gorgeous so far! You've inspired me to start stripping woodwork... I love reading your blog, having just purchased a small bungalow for myself in Lexington, KY.
