hrjAt 2pm I'll be popping home to meet with a contractor who specializes in dry rot issues (actually specializes, not just "does") to look at my job. From how he talked on the phone, it sounds like he's got space in his schedule right now. And as a plus, he's primarily a painting contractor (does the dry rot among other things as a "painting prep" issue) so if I like how he works on this job it can be a try-out for an eventual re-painting job. (And I can hold that out as an incentive to do a good job and treat me right.) This may actually happen.
Updated to add: We talked, looked at the work, poked at it with pointy objects and ripped at things with pry bars, talked some more, discussed money, talked some more. I'm in the middle of checking out his references, but unless they say awful things about him, it looks like I've got a contractor who can get the work done next week. Yay.
