Hi, All,

Several of you responded to my previous post asking for mortgage advice. To prove that no good deed goes unpunished, I would like to thank you all for doing so by asking you a similarly boring follow-on question.

After some deliberation, my wife and I have decided that we would like to find out what options we might have for adding on to our house (or moving, should that prove less than ideal). At my mortgage officer's advice, I contacted an Olympia area contractor to set up an appointment to have him come out and take a look at the place to see if any of my ideas for adding on might be feasible (and, of course, at what approximate cost). He just called me to cancel the appointment, as he was busy with work in Olympia and had decided he didn't want to work as far from home as Elma. I decided that was understandable, but now I assume I will need to find a contractor in Grays Harbor if I am to get anything accomplished.

Does anyone out there know a good, honest contractor in the area? Or, for that matter, a contractor from Olympia or elsewhere that would be willing to spread out a bit?

Thanks in advance....
