what is the process to cancel contract with in the three day period? The paperwork is missing (unreadable) that information due to printing issues.
May 2, 2016

I would agree...let you contractor know immeately by a phone all that you are excersising your 3 day option.  Then follow the cancellation by the letter of the law. 

I would recommend that you keep it professional, short an if possible friendly.  If the contractor wants to know how they could have done it better, please be factural and not immotional.

How to Maximize the available storage space in my kitchen?

Are you planning a full remodel (in that case new cabinets will answer the problem) doing only a refresh (pull our shelves will dramatically increase storage)

Does any one know a vendor that can add stone work to our gas fireplace in Bothell WA

http://www.ncsg.org/  The National Chimney Sweep Quild is a great source for licenced and certified professionals in your area. If they don't do the work, they will know someone in your area who does.

How do I go about find out whether I have a mold problem?
May 19, 2014

So you think you may have mold,   then it a fairly simply solution....bring in the best people you can find and be on site when they do their walk thorugh and walk around with a pad of paper.  They are some of the best people in the industry.

Best way to detect a leak in a residential irrigation sprinkler system?
Aug 21, 2014

John

I would do what Paul said but I would take an additonal step of capping the sprinkler heads where they are easy to get to with a half dozen of 1/2" PVC caps.  Then you are increasing the pressure on the leak and you will find it much faster and expend less water.

Aug 18, 2014

I have not heard of it and therefore not used it.  I got a couple or favorable ratings on Yelp, could not find anything about it in Houzz or Pinterest. 

Sorry

Boy I would not go that.  Hold off on the project until you have the money to do it right.  Then, pull off the formica, repair the water damage and install new countertop

I would find a local distributor of the product and they will have a list of preferred fabricators.  Please tell them it is commercial not residential work.
