My Refinishing Business Has Survived The Recession.


I have been a bathroom refinisher for eight years and have managed (for the most part) to survive the recession. My name is Andrea and my company is A Scott Refinishing.

The first step in recovery is admitting you have a problem
Problem, what problem, I drink, get drunk and fall down, what's the problem.

If you admit to having a problem, there really isn't a problem you obviously figured it out
