I fired my contractor today. I was hoping to accomplish that with a face to face meeting, but when he cancelled a meeting at the last minute, I decided it was time to finally fire the man. So I just sent off an e-mail to him, and told him he was fired.

I'm not exactly sure how he will repond to this. I guess only time will tell.

I was so excited at the beginning, and I guess I really believed that the project would get done quickly and without trouble.

Since the beginning, I did have a cash flow problem, so the fact that this has taken so long has actually helped a little in that department. ...

I am happy to report on this snowy January morning that the progress in my attic is no longer at a stand still. There are decisions that have been made, that will be made today, and that must wait just a little bit longer before the attic is livable.
