FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I did a lot of landscaping, and house painting in my teens and early twenties. I then went into social work and helped run several programs for runaway teens. The work was emotionally difficult, and I never seemed to have enough work or money. After 8 years of that, I was tired of the contant struggle. I'd been into clean living, outdoor recreation, and environmental responsibility. In between social work positions, I worked with enough competent carpenters, painters, and handymen to decide I could make it on my own.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
Recently a home-owner and I collaborated in designing two lofts for the family to better utilize their living space. You can see pictures of this in my profile for a better understanding. Both lofts really enhance the bedroom spaces, are fun, and unique.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Do ask questions about the provider's training, markup policies, or general experience.
