fine craftsmanship

Perhaps the Craftsman era was devoted to quality work, but the guys who did the renovations on our house were decidedly not devoted to much of anything except payday and quitting time.

Here is a view of our hallway. The damage you see is not due to poor craftsmanship, but is where Tim and the guys pulled the molding off in order to work on the floors.

But let's take a closer look at things... Is that...a...Coke can...in the wall?


Yes, it is. Behind the drywall and the molding, someone permanently installed a Coke can in our home. Appropriate, somehow, but annoying nonetheless. At least it's empty!

Another example of quality work. (The paint job is mine, so no comment on that! It's a work in progress.) But, notice that the light switch appears to be OFF. But the light appears to be ON. Yep, it's installed upside down. Good work, guys!
