I'm planning to do all my shopping at "Blue" companies:

Jordan's Furniture
Ikea
COSTCO

For better or worse, my crappy kitchen cabinets that came with the house seem to have survived, so we won't be replacing those.

We won't be doing any "fixed" installations of cabinetry that will stay with the house after we leave.

We're looking mostly at carpentry, electricity, carpet, possibly a laminate flooring, wallpaper, painting, etc.

We've already committed to someone else to do the ceiling and to install a computer network (running Monster-cable to each room).

We had Ikea-style furniture before our flood, and we'll probably be Ikea-to-the-gills going forward. But we need a competent person to measure and suggest and deliver and assemble.

Now that I am out of "crisis-mode," I can hopefully make some more thought-out decisions about who I hire to do what.
