He does excellent work and keeps a photo album of his of the jobs that he has completed. The key word here is; completed. The best was the Log Home that he built for Gary Hart in the early 1980’s.<BR/><BR/>He is the typical tradesman that you refer to in your anecdote.<BR/><BR/>Last November, my daughter and I commissioned him to convert a shed (18X22 in the back yard) into an office for me. He said “5 days or 6 days tops”. <BR/><BR/>As of today, the job is only 95% complete (very good craftsmanship – but a cost overrun of over a $1000). It’s not that he is working elsewhere; he spends most of the day watching CNN, the Military Channel, The Science Channel and the Travel Channel. <BR/><BR/>As for surprise parties, the only one that worked was when my daughters threw a 50th Birthday Party for me 2 weeks after my Birthday. I had had a regular party on my actual birthday. I was actually surprised!<BR/><BR/>The Beach BumThe Beach Bumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459921418291067269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19673259.post-48556374723802291282008-03-25T15:19:00.000-05:002008-03-25T15:19:00.000-05:00I'm not sure about HoT enchanting millions, but I ...I'm not sure about HoT enchanting millions, but I sure do like the ones it has. :)<BR/><BR/>I'm guessing Dan didn't get a big tip for his work? :P<BR/><BR/>I happen to know that Corelle dishes will break, too. By the way.. did you know that when women throw dishes, they always make sure there's enough left to set the table the next meal? That's a female secret. I may have to poison your coffee now.<BR/><BR/>Yeah.. I think the hit counter was closing in on 85,000. I'm not even going to put one on the new blog. I don't think I am anyway.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13408633498198921799noreply@blogger.com
