Would that it were a perfect world. A world where contractors not only finish the jobs they start, they finish gloriously. But the fact that Tampa craftsmanship is lacking many times keeps me employed.
Mike and Janet Steinhoff contacted me to build them a bar. Arriving at their home, I was instantly aware of the real reason I was there. Someone agreed to do the work, started the job and then went out of business. Not only did the person they hired walk off of the project half-way, they screwed up anything they touched before they left.
That was 18 months ago and thousands of dollars later. Perhaps that's how long it took them to regroup and get going on the project again both emotionally and financially. Perhaps they were just too gun shy to try anyone for a while.
They've decided to let Quillian Craftsman correct the mistakes the last people made. We'll have to undo and redo a bunch of things just to get it going, but I guess that's one of the things we specialize in.
Why some gorillas ever get hammers is beyond me.
I love how you have seemed to adopt this whole "gorilla" thing and make it a part of your regular language. I need to come up with a good name for Realtors who are the same way...
