As far as the slowdown making contractors available...thats true but they arent the top guys. Big slowdown here but my BIL and his crew have all they can handle. So you might have more availability but the first guys cut from the jobs are the worst.
Hmm. If it could take a month or more, it will probably take 2 months in my case (due to consistently bad luck or bad planning on my part).

Maybe I will just delay moving in and rent, until they are done. Two months' rent isn't bad. I really hate having strangers tromping through my space.
