Whats Up

Found this place by accident.
Been doing this stuff for 25 years, (or more, if you count mixing mud and carrying block for my uncle when I was 12, thats what made me not want to be a brick layer).
I started out as an interior trim carpenter in PA back in 84, then moved to GA and somehow ended up framing for a couplve years, then went back to trim. By 2002 I said "screw new work and cheap ass builders" and started remodeling, which in turn, led to doing everything, from hardwood floors to custom cabinets.
So now Im waiting for customers to decide what to do, was sitting at the computer ( and I wasnt looking at **** either), and ran into this place.

So,.................you guys still got all your fingers, right?........just kidding.

Re: Whats Up

I came within a half inch of cutting the tops of three fingers once.
Only one finger cut all the way through the bone.
All fingers still work.

The finger that got cut all the way through the bone is a little numb.

It just so happens that it is the same finger that gets
banged/cut up when you are hand nailing so it all worked out.
