A blessing in disguise

We thought we knew which contractor we planned to use - a contractor who did some insurance work at our present home a few years ago.  As we proceeded with this gentleman, we had questions raised by some of his actions and also by seeming omissions in his estimate.  About the same time, two dear friends each suggested contractors they had used.  In addition, I drove by a house a few blocks away where extensive remodeling was being done, could tell at a glance that it was really quality work.  So we're in touch with that contractor as well.  It could have been that our loss of confidence in the contractor we'd planned to use might have been a disaster.  As it turns out, I think it was a blessing in disguise - as we're dealing with some really awesome people at this point.  Wish us luck!
