About
The guys who taught me my skills were tradesmen of the old school. I learned more than carpentry and craft from them; they imbued me with the idea that any task that's worth doing is worth doing right, and that every job is the 'most important job'.
There is a deep gratification in seeing the physical change that takes over the workday. Like alchemists, we transform something old into something new -- whether that newness is a wall that wasn't there before, a room that is now a different color, or a view that had been obstructed.

Hi Don,
If we had ever worked together, you would be welcome to write whatever kind of review you thought was fair. However, I never did any work for you, so I’m not sure why you chose to leave this review.

Tough work is very hard to come by, especially in the fields relating to general contracting. I have more than impressed with the work that has been done for me thus far and have already recommended him to other friends and clients.
