Our first contractor meeting

Today we met with our first contractor and he was awesome ... we are looking for estimates to redo our upstairs bathrooms ... they are both really small ... well this guy tonight was the first of 3 we have scheduled ... there are actually 4 more that I called but haven't set up appointments with yet ...

He talked to us about what all we wanted to do ... took measurments and we just started chit-chatting about all sorts of stuff ... turns out he is from California too and even worked on Fashion Island as a school project ... which is the mall where I had my very first job ...

He is now going to take his measurments and ideas and do some sketches for us and get back in touch with us on Wednesday to go over ideas and price ... the awesome thing is that he will make suggestions as to what we should get but we are responsible for getting all the materials ... which for savvy shoppers like us who have some good connections in the home improvement area that could really save us some serious cash ... he also said he would price it with demo and without and if it made that big of a difference we could do the demo ourselves ... which means my pink hard hat would come in handy ...

I am so excited to see what he comes up with ... I really liked the guy ... even though we were just pricing it out now and aren't really sure it is a project we could financially tackle right now ... I am really hoping that the price is so reasonable we can find a way to do it ... cause what he was talking about sounded fantastic ... I'll keep my fingers crossed :)
