silvergorilla 1 Report post Posted June 21, 2013 (edited) carpentry up next.... i was quite please to see uncles carpenter.... I feel that they are in general more experienced and patient... they were able to explain patiently to me how things are coming togetherand despite me giving very detailed 2D drawings, they still altered some of my dimensions..... erm ... due to their carpentry limitations.... apparently they disagree with some of the aesthetics....erm.... i thought i was the designer?.... but I have reached a point where i just want the renov to be over.... its taking a toll on my time and work schedule...... so i let it slide....
