Well, I just signed a contract. After getting three bids, having each reviewed by a structural engineer (without showing him the pricing) and talking to references I went with the lowest at $15,950.

We are going to get a home equity loan for some of it and the rest will be paid out of our savings.

Work starts on 5-12-08. I will post before, during and after pictures. It will be cool to watch the progress. One main drawback is that we are going to send our dog to my in-laws while the work is being done.

He is still young and would wind up in one of the trenches or go for a run since part of our fence is being taken down to accomodate the equipment.

Cool. Post those up when it happens.

interesting. so what did the engineer say, basically that all three proposals would be sufficient in addressing the problem? 16's better than 19.





...wait, what did i just say?





If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Cool, I'll post them up in a new thread. This is the only time in my life I have really been watching for the Fed to drop rates. I'm officially old.
