Nick dug in and helped with a lot of the sanding of the cabinets, plaster repair (mudding and more sanding).

Sweat the Small Stuff OR A Post About Nick
I won't let you experience in real time exactly how long each project took. You've heard the saying that painting is 90% preparation? Well, we put so much effort into preparation that we're more like 99.9%. Nick says that when you paint over a flaw, the flaw actually becomes MORE noticeable. I'm not sure that's true when you're me, but it's probably true when you're him.

Nick has many skills -- and you do, too -- which enables you to do a lot of the work yourselves. That must be very rewarding.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! We've yet to hire anyone who has the same exacting standards as us. The fact is, you wouldn't be able to make a profit if you were so meticulous. Perhaps that's the true benefit to DIY. You can demand perfection.
DeleteSo true -- I don't think the average person can afford to buy perfection. Only the person doing it can judge if perfection is worth the effort, but if you appreciate a job well-done, it's just not about money.
