Time Trial posted:How much is fair to expect a contractor to charge for profit and overhead? Have a quote from someone who wants 15 and 15, which seems like a lot. This is for kitchen, baths and flooring. First time working with a renovation contractor, so not sure if that's standard or if I should look elsewhere or try to negotiate. Get two more quotes. At no time mention what others have quoted. Pick your favorite contractor and use the quotes as a guide to negotiate.

You forgot the renovation math. It will cost four times what you projected and ten times as long. I do hope this gets easier for you soon. It is a very ambitious undertaking and I hope you succeed.

Jaded Burnout posted:So there's a thing that happens with trades in the UK, maybe it's elsewhere too. Other than it being very annoying is there any issue with them starting a day late? I only ask as getting steamed over it isn't worth your bother if it doesn't mess up your schedule. Even if you catch them in a lie, it will only hurt the working relationship. Breathe deep, remind yourself it's getting near the end and then go put the kettle on.

Jaded Burnout posted:OK guys what should get done this weekend? Pick the one(s) that will be the most pleasurable or satisfying when you are done. You could use the emotional pick-me-up.
