Forum Support Popular Post Tommy T. Posted March 24, 2021 Author Forum Support Popular Post Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) Well... the build continues... We hired a guy to build us some cabinets and he he is doing a great job. The cabinets look great! They need to be painted, but we now have painters who can do a good job. He has a kid helper and is doing a very nice job at a reasonable price. His work looks good, he actually has his own tools and we are pleased with his products. This is all to inform you that good workers and quality work can really be found if you look for them. But it took a while to find them. They are installing a tool cabinet in the outside laundry/dirty kitchen area. Now, finally! a place for my tools that is organized yet outside the home!!!

Forum Support Tommy T. Posted March 24, 2021 Author Forum Support Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) An add-on here... The cabinet maker just installed my tool cabinet. I don't think he left 1 mm between the doors. He is very exacting. I honestly don't recall seeing as qualified a cabinet maker anywhere before... in USA or elsewhere... This man is a true craftsman... and he is proud to show it... Edited March 24, 2021 by Tommy T. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham59 Posted March 24, 2021 Posted March 24, 2021 You struck lucky there mate. Nice one. I hope the guys who are going to transform this lot into a steel staircase (up to my roof terrace) are as competent. Wood I can fix. Welding... not so much. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a positive Post Dan, I have been here long enough to know that wood warps especially outside, I think you have missed the point about all Toms work/workers were the best Until.. and this started with his great Contractor ! Bad Materials makes a Bad job, in the end and Tom is always talking Budget restraints, Sorry Tom. I am not having a Bash at you on this but the end, time end result, End of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good or bad carpenter. Time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
