Well, y'all know that I'd prefer to do things around the house for myself. Case in point: just after christmas, the water heater went south. Doorlink prevailed on me, against my better judgment, to let the house insurance company install it. "We'll save money, she said, and besides, you're working on that other project, and you'd lose a whole day" And against my better judgment, I acquiesced. And, about 8 weeks later, I happened to look hard at the work he'd done. Or rather, I tripped over it. He needed about an inch and a half on the bottom, so he found some 2x4 scraps I had lying around from the basement project. They were about 8 inches too long, but he didn't have a saw, so he jammed them in and left them sticking out. Now I've got a day of work in front of me to fix the mess.
I thought of that reading this article: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/28/fashion/28love.html
We hear all the time about clients from hades, but the article's about contractors from hades. And the last thing I want is for Doorlink to find a contractor boyfriend, from hades or otherwise...
Thanks,
Bill
