Advice with upgrading an old house

[Clifford]

I plan to do this. And please tell me if this is naive or crazy.

The house is vacant. I’ll leave the keys (the old keys left by the previous owner) under the door mat for the individual contractors to use.

I’ll schedule the contractors to come in on certain days to do their work. I plan to stop by each morning before work & each evening after work to check on the progress.

I’m aware of the potential for vandalism, but I think that’s a measured risk.

AN,

how much did you pay the GC to coordinate/supervise cabinet people & granite people ? In other words, how much would you have saved if you did the coordination yourself ?

In that case make sure you change the locks when the work is finished. They could easily make copies while you are away.

It would probably saved me about 20-30% had I have those contacts before hand.
