Well 2 week ago I was getting it together and going over paper work to get my taxes done. Yea I know last minute, but when you owe, might as well pay up at the last minute. And reminded of my favorite job of 2006.
What made it a favorite-
1-A lot of what I do is subing, where someone else designs and I put their ideas together, of course that calls for spliting the coins. Now and then I get my own contracts and get to be the designer/ salesman / craftsman, and keep all the profit $$.
2-The project was less then 2 miles from my home, very , very rare. The homeowner saw me doing his neighbors stair remodel and had me come look at his.
3-He and his wife were really great people, he was retired and had an after retirement business at home. He had a second, small office in the garage, so we would BS all day as I was working. I also took over 1/3 of his garage to store stock and store my TS , saw horses, and bench ( saved a lot of loading in my trailer ).
4-Not only did they give all freedom in design, but One "really" good part was ( I work on draws ), all I had to do was mention money and he wipped out the check book and said how much Roger.
The first 2 shot are the " before" pics, standard contractor "tunnel stairs and wall rail" with carpet.
