So many questions...
Pre-finished or finished? Hardwood or engineered? Chicken or beef? Noodles or rice? These are the dilemmas I confront in getting floor estimates for our new digs in Chinatown. Yes...let it be known--we are moving. Two blocks from Chinatown and 5 minutes from the lake. Bye-bye to the 415 and jello to the five-one-oh! Details on the new home to be aired on MTV Cribs---the non-profit lawyer episode. Not funny. I met with a prospective flooring contractor today and learned many things such as--his marital status (divorced, but co-owns the business with his lovely wife); his afternoon activity for that day (parent teacher conference with ex-wife); his general hobbies (running on the beach because it's really made him comfortable with himself); what he was like 20 years ago (self-professed hippie); political interests (wants to reform workers' comp); home owner status (made a $975K offer on a house in the Richmond near the aforementioned beach); and musical tastes (he's in a rock band.) Alas, I did not learn how much it would cost to get the floors done.
