My parents never hired another builder again. Instead they were the bosses when they built another house in 2000-01.

That is good for some people if they know something of what they are doing but many subcontractors will really screw you if you don't and trust me they can tell

The problem my mother had with the men building their house is they wouldn't listen to her so she had to tell dad to tell them for her since they would listen to him. Why wouldn't they listen to her? Because she is a woman.

That is extremely common in construction  and I have gotten jobs because the other salesmen wouldn't listen to a woman or asked to speak to her husband

Some automobile mechanics are really bad about this too.

I've been pretty lucky with the people who have done work on our house, though.

I would hire almost all of them again if I needed to in the future and I recommend almost all of them if I know someone else who needs work.

I'd hire you if you lived a little closer. Plenty of things to do in this house.

This looks like a mistake but the meant to leave out a floor.  I call it an Architect's wet dream

There better be a balcony you can actually walk out onto. I hate wasted space in architecture.

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

A big building like that and it's empty? That happens very rarely over here that I know.

I would live in it, do a bit of converting. Everyone is wanting one of those city apartments and that building is empty. It seems a waste.
