    As a DIY'er with no home improvement training other than watching youtube and do trial and errors, everytime someone said the installation would've been better if this or that was done, I just replied, I did it with love and just the thought that I was the one ( a physician by profession) who did it made that mistake look so gratifying, for some reason they still say I did a good job. So thanks for pointing out mistakes only professionals can see without dissing the previous guy and if that kind of job is a $3500 work for you, I will let you redo my whole DIY mistakes :))

    You have a great foresight for finish carpentry. Good run through, but please move (if you can) and or cover furniture. Also zippered walls for other rooms. I teach my apprentices that no matter how good your work looks and functions, when the customer sees a Dusty mess they see your work in a different light. Even if you get caught cleaning the furniture.

      Doing a good job isn't just about the actual work you do, it's the whole experience the homeowner gets, like taking your shoes off or putting shoe booties on, especially when the floors were just refinished. Also, keeping a emaculate job site, and putting a good amount of effort into protecting the homeowners stuff, like the floor. If you dropped a screw driver on that cheap rosin paper, you be fixing a dinged floor.

Had contractors that tried to get over on me and had a friend that knows the business like you do. Always has time to look and give me advice. Helps a lot when i need something done. My buddy is a high end contractor and the jobs I have him look at are to small so his advice helps when looking for a handy man with some brains. Thanks for the videos that show how things are done the right way when wanting to up grade ones home. Your a real artist.

Just a word of non requested advice, that paper doesn’t protect the floor. You should get a longer level, when you get the wrong size lumber you should return to the store and get the right size, 3/4” mdf doesn’t flex in your application to build that 2x4 wall the way you did. Other than that, you did a fine job in seeing how all those details should look. You’re young and should have a great future in this industry.

I have built cabinets for a living. I have hung and finished drywall and for a few years I worked for a man who flipped houses. I will never know it all but i take my time and do the job the right way or not at all.

    @EightiesTV 6 років тому +50

    Another case of a homeowner telling a contractor what they want (make a 6-foot passage look like an 12-inch column) then not wanting it when it's done. This is due to the homeowner's poor eye for aesthetics. You said it yourself - they didn't even notice a difference in the two doorways until you pointed it out at which point they became frustrated about something they never noticed anyway. Sure, the other guy could have terminated his trim differently. But the existing baseboard is NOT his problem, the existing wall bow is NOT his problem, and the choice of putting dead end crown molding in the passage was clearly following the HO's instructions to match a column.
    They will not be happy with anything. They will tell you they love your work to your face, then badmouth you with uppity words like "sanctimonious" to their uppity friends and colleagues because they will never be satisfied.

      I was coming to the comments to write the same thing. I've worked with people like this and they always want to cut corners and I would beg and plead with them not to do something a certain way just to shave a few hundred off the price and they would tell me to do it anyway. I have walked out on jobs before, but if you've got work scheduled in you can't always fill in your time, so just give the home owner what they want.
      I've learned to avoid people like this and to get a feel for them when I'm giving an estimate, but sometimes I don't catch it or just have a gap in my schedule to fill and think I'll be able to deal with them.

    Why not just have drywall in that area and have the walls flow through like they would normally instead of having such an elegant pass-through? Also, purposefully making the pass-through even narrower seems like a bad idea for moving furniture, appliances, or whatever. Why make an area smaller when it doesn't have to be?
