Today we were up early and took our walk, it was chilly but the gusty wind usually waits until it gets warmer so we didn’t have to eat sand. We did later in the afternoon though…we can’t wait until we can get all the rock in the yards to cover up all this loose dirt.
Our concrete contractor Bob is the most amazing artist and his medium is wood and the scroll saw. He makes the most amazing dimensional, inlaid clocks and the box he brought over was stunning…it had a beautiful bow on top of the lid and it was inlaid wood, I had to keep touching it! He uses other saws and tools of course, and he showed us the pen and pencil sets he makes too, some solid wood with inlays and some made of other materials but all so beautiful. He has a great eye for detail and believes in quality work so I am expecting our patio to be great! I just wish I had thought to ask to take a photo of the box and pens to share with all of you! His stuff should be in an art gallery somewhere!
It is always nice to talk to business owners and find that what worked for us works for others…Bob gets most of his business by word of mouth because of the quality of his work and his level of customer service. In the five years since Larry dissolved his business and we left the area he has had sooo many requests to come back any time and pick up where he left off and it is because he took such good care of his customers, did quality work and didn’t price gouge.
Not much else going on here…the patio should get poured on Friday unless the wind is really bad again.
