He's a very experienced builder in his early 60's. He was my neighbor until he moved to Colorado. He's built bathroom cabinets for us and many decks in our neighborhood which I've checked out. He's in town visiting his Mom. He takes on projects like this and enjoys them. I'm fortunate he's in town. I expect this will go well. We are both cool with what I offered to pay him and he came up with some design suggestions I really liked. We start tomorrow. I've dug the footings today for the 6x6 support posts.
