I am looking for a contractor to renovate and update my old house. I have already received 4 job bids ranging from $9,000 to $15,000 from both licensed and non-licensed contractors. The project does not affect the structural or changing the floor plan of the house, but the work does include replacing exiting kitchen cabinets and appliances, replacing existing tiled shower stalls, replacing vinyl floors with ceramic tiled floors in kitchen and baths areas, replacing plumbing and electrical fixtures that includes light electrical and plumbing work such as adding a light switch and adding a dishwasher. A friend has told me that non-licensed contractors can only bid on jobs costing less than $1,000 where as licensed contractors are bonded and able to legally bid on jobs costing more than $1,000. Does anyone know the facts between a licensed and non-licensed contractor besides the fact that one has and one does not have a license? Thank you.

I have an Indesit D61D that is consistently tripping the RCD breaker in my house when it gets a couple of minutes into any cycle. When you start a cycle it sort of chugs and whirs like it is trying to go but no water goes in and it either stays like that or trips the electrics. Cleaned out the bottom filter bit but no joy. I am rubbish at stuff like this, can anyone help please?!
Many thanks, Alison (& Co!)
