Thankful November- day 7

Today I'm thankful for our neighbor, T (I want to respect his privacy since I didn't tell him I was going to be writing this). Not only is he a great neighbor and friend, but he could probably fill his portfolio with all the projects he's done around our house in the 3 years we've lived here. I know Mark would echo me in saying that we are SO grateful for T's help with all the remodeling we've done. Finding a good, honest, reliable, reasonable contractor these days is a difficult task; there are so many horror stories out there! So far, there hasn't been a job that T hasn't been able to take on, and yet, when there is something he's not sure about, he's honest and says it's not his area of work, which we appreciate! He takes such pride in his work and our house is gorgeous because of it.

T's list of credits in our house include: installing new sub-floor/hardwood flooring in the main area of our house (which was NOT an easy feat since our house was built in 1943 and like many old houses, has "weird" stuff to work with!), changing the layout of some of the cabinetry in our kitchen, knocking out a wall between the kitchen/dining room, doing trim work throughout the house, closing up a door that used to be in an upstairs bedroom, several other little things, and he's currently working on a pergola/covered porch out back that is replacing an old rotting deck that, you guessed it, he demoed. Basically, he's become a vital part of any and all of our home projects and will continue to be, no matter where we live!
