Finished my Christmas present today
I bid this house 16 mo. ago. Talked to the builder every so often and all I got was bad news. I thought the house was a loss. Two weeks before Christmas he calls me up and says the trim and cabinets will be delivered in 2 days. Happy new year 8000 sq ft to trim and 90 cabinets to install.
The built ins are to bland, but that is what the builder wanted. Then he decided he wanted a wood range hood but the cabinet manutactuer doesn't make one big enough. So they send me out a bunch of prefinished plywood and say good luck

I usually don't play grammar police, but Malco had it right in this case...
Too = also,
Too = an excessive amount (too much)
To = a destination...I'm going to the store
Two = 2

"So they send me out a bunch of prefinished plywood and say good luck"
I thought that was funny. The oven range looks great. And of course it's always nice to hear about contractors who are busy nowadays.

I bent 80' of rail and put in 150 shelves . The house is pretty boring trim wise. Just a bunch of 8/0 doors and 6" base.
The best part of the job came when the homeowner next door came over and said " How come our trim doesn't look like that"
I went and looked at her house and had to bite my tounge. She hired me do 100' of rail and 100 shelves.
