Nicest Railings Ever Seen ?


I'm driving home from a job today and spot this abomination, it looks like it was just sitting on top of the concrete deck, like a free standing wall just tacked down. Ain't she a beauty ? ( Can't help taking pictures of disaster's) I show them to customers and tell them this is joe blows work, you still want the cheaper job?

And folks wonder why i charge so much. I tell them its actually like a 50% savings because you will never have to call me back to do it over.
