Well, you didn’t say you have a skylight. Is it a new opening or does it exist and and you’re replacing. New openings ain’t cheap!
“evaluate wall framing and sub-floor”
What does this mean? I’d ask for an ‘add alternate’ to replace all wall framing and sub-floor if needed, so you’re not surprised after they open up the walls.
Actually, I think it should be replaced. If you’re saying the bathroom is old, then so are they. It shouldn’t be up for negotiation.
“enclose pipe (heat riser)”
What does this mean? If you’re using this heat pipe to heat the room, make sure they install a grille cover. And what kind.
If the quote is not broken down by trade, I’d ask them to break it down. It’s kinda hard to see what you’re paying for each trade, ie. plumbing, electric, drywall, etc.
Uh, I grew up on Ave U which is heavily Chinese and it’s the one group that everyone is afraid to deal with on a criminal level because they all have fake names, can hide and not be found… heavy into credit card fraud, counterfeit goods…
Not sure what further explanation you need…

I’m glad the Irish, Italians, Russians and Jews were never into any of those sorts of activities!!!!
Brownstoner group dumpster dive, anyone? Say 1pm EST?
Rob, it’s not about being pc. What he said was just ignorant as f@ck.
OH, and also the Blacks & Latinos.
The kids are probably sleepy because they were up late doing homework so they can excel at school.

Thanks Arkady. Adding it to my notes.

Hey Rob – there is a dumpster on Crosby full of cool shit – i’d totally be rummaging now if my bosses window didn’t over look it.
Yes there are many hardworking Chinese, there are also many that are shady as hell. Usually it’s the criminals who prey on the hardworking ones…
