Introduction: I talk with the people I am going to do work for first and see if is something in my skill set first. Then if the job is doable then we come up with a solid time frame and a agreed vision of how things should look in the end. But plan right from the start and have the right materials. I can also provide many references be for we even get going.
I am good with my hands and can pretty much learn as I go if needed. I just got done with a 3 week complete kitchen remodel, the homeowner's were so happy when we got done. The before and after pictures are amazing to see.
