CAM: This time, I really do think you need the stair guy. Tearing out and rebuilding a stairway isn't for Joe Carpenter. That's why they were so poorly constructed in the first place.

I hate telling clients this kind of stuff--when what's behind/underneath will not allow a proper result w/o being addre$$ed. They're the only "dread goin' to work" days I really have, so I can't complain.

Being really good at what you do includes knowing when an expert is needed and when that guy is not you.

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
