Rob, do any of these friends fish?
Because within the contractor community, a lot of guys do....and it's surprising how "busy" or "sick" some of them get during a hot bite or the Spring or Fall run....
If I lived closer, I would come down and give ya some pointers.....
I can lend ya a CD called "Mature Grown up Contractors"...which describes how to hire and fire contractors.....let me know......

Otherwise, my best advice is to keep looking and always have an alternate choice when you're looking to hire someone.....
