Steel and plumbing

Eight men at a time were working on our project yesterday and wrapping up today. These were 2 crews: steel and plumbing. Now our future pool is full of metal wires, and backyard full of pipes. An electrician also came to check whether our electrical panel has sufficient amperage. Apparently the amperage is OK, but there is not enough breakers space. The panel will need to be replaced. We have discussed it with John, and he promised he would take care of it without extra cost.

Inspection is the next step. It is scheduled for tomorrow morning.

So far I need to say that even though project cost is an extremely important factor, ability to trust your contractor is far not the last thing, or even as important. One should not go without the other, or otherwise the project will be a torture, rather than pleasure. And this is applicable to any type of work. How to know whether you can trust a contractor? These are my lessons learned: talk, check, read reviews, ask ex-customers, talk, check, read reviews again, ask many questions, do not be afraid to be annoying, talk about every little detail. We did all of that, and whether the choice was made correctly I will write at the end of the project not to jinx a thing ;)
