Prepare for the unknown future in case something bad happens.I live in Dallas County Texas and never have been east of the Mississippi River so I cannot give you geographical recommendations.  

If interested, send me a message with your name, phone number, and a brief description of your experience.Dave 

Just PM me if you would like a few of their contact info.When you say North Chicago, are you talking about the general geographic location or actually North Chicago?

Always deals to be had, what sort of geographical boundaries do you have?

For OKC and Tulsa it's not so bad, as the city limits stretch across much of the metro area and offers a lot of options...but in Denver, and even worse Atlanta or Miami for example, you'll be searching a much more constrained (and arbitrarily constrained at that) geographic area.

If you'd like, send a message with a brief description of the job and I can point you in the right direction of a good architect. 

My problem is that I have $120k saved, how much of your savings would you keep on hand based on this short description?

Good description of what a numbing job does to you.

The more descriptive in your ad, the better.
