morgan_dhuToday we wrote a cheque to our draftsperson and made the first of a series of scheduled payments to the contractor.
We are several thousand dollars poorer.
Gulp.
On the upside, the contractor dropped by to sign the contract and pick up his cheque, and he said his crew appreciated the goodie basket we left for them: coffee maker, fair trade ground coffee, cream and sugar, chocolate cookies. I wonder if we should add a tea kettle and a selection of black and herb teas? We should probably vary the baked goodies from time to time as well. What else would go nicely at break time while you're renovating a house? Doughnuts?
