Meet Electrician #2


Tonight we met the 2nd electrician for an estimate. He was much more professional, but insisted that we need to completely rewire the entire house and replace the existing electric box. We almost fell over when he quoted us $14K, especially because the ex-convict quoted us $1800. I guess we’ll schedule a third estimate; there has to be middle ground here.

After meeting with the electrician, we sanded and cleaned the kitchen. We need to be finished painting by this weekend so that we can hang kitchen cabinets. Ahh, starting to feel the time crunch. We’re moving in next weekend.

Tonight we also found out that we need permits for electrical work and that a licensed gas person needs to come unhook our old gas stove. So Best Buy is delivering a new gas stove tomorrow, but they are not going to be able to carry away our old one unless we can get a gas fitter.  Awesome.
