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.
