INSECT WIRE S(REENING
"Each month the contractor brings in his bills for plumbing, wiring, etc., and we make out our check to pay the various sub-contractors. This is the only way we can control the job and keep it from getting out of hand.
"When the home owner wants to do some of his own lvork, we write a separate contract for that portion. For example, the painting. The contractor will then allow a certain amount for it. The loan is set up so tl.rat in case the home owner does not perform, there is enough money for the contractor to go ahead and finish the job so neither the contractor or ourselves are stuck with an unfinished building.
"Another service that retailers can give today is interior decorating. Our interior decorator helps choose colors for each room in the house and mixes tl-re paint so all the painter has to do is pick up the material which is marked ior each room where it is to be used. Wallpaper is planned ahead and draperies have been worked out for each room ready to install when the owner moves into his new house. Wall-to-wall carpeting, if to be used, is picked out ahead of time ready to go down the minute the house is completed.
