Contractor meeting: First steps

Over the weekend, we called our contractor to inform him of our approval. Had a meeting today to discuss the next steps.

Tomorrow - go to the planning office to pull the permits. He needs to put his name on the permit so that he can take over construction responsibilities as well as schedule field inspections with the city. We need to pay the permit fees.

His crew has been idle for 2 weeks now just waiting for us to get our approval. So thankful he did not pick up another job during this time. That would've meant a delay in our project!

** From another mom that's also undergoing remodeling and about 1.5 month ahead of us: the city's waste collector has put up a fuss about the garbage bin her contractor put up in front of the house for construction waste. Supposedly the waste collector is the exclusive provide of that service to the city so the resident would face fines for not using their services. **

Day after - Contractor will haul and unload his tools into the backyard.

Day after that - Crew shows up for work! :)
