Managing a general contractor.
I'm doing my first long distance rehab. Normally during a rehab I have been able to drop in and check on the progress and quality of work of my contractors. In your experience what is the appropriate amount of asking for updates from a contractor that you have never worked with before? Too few of pictures and updates runs the risk of slow work, low quality of work, or general misunderstanding of expectations. Making them send too many pictures risks annoying your contractor so they don't want to work with you again, and wasting their time taking pictures of every little thing.
