Since you'll be out-of-state, possibly your realtor can set you up with someone who can be the "project supervisor," provide you a work schedule, estimate the costs, provide samples, and also complete most of the work himself/herself. 

If the officer working on your case isn't being helpful, I can also give you names of supervisors in that particular office (if it's the county, not the city).Hope this all works out for you.

I later called her supervisor and said how Liliane was a great employee.My point is that reputation matters and coming from some one who is new in real estate and already been fooled a few times because i trusted the wrong people even after doing my research it would have been helpful to read an honest telling of a story like the OP so I knew what to look out for.My two and a half cents.

Differences with my immediate supervisor led to us parting ways, and I continue to work 20-30 hours weekly with the co-owner of the company, building his personal home.

@Mark Nolan - Yes, it is a 401K loan from my workplace.

I really enjoy doing this kind of work and actually miss it since I am now a supervisor and do not do labor anymore.

I also could have gotten the space heaters that night, but thought you would appreciate a hotel stay near to your workplace.

She (with her limited powers) tried/is trying to get a supervisor to over ride their usual policy of waiting on a vendor for 48 hours.  

Simpson, who in turn told me to get in contact with the Inspection Supervisor.

Jacquea Lee is the supervisor there.
