1. My dear mopinko...

You know, it's really hard to see the quality of the design from pictures.....

I strongly suggest that you visit the sites in person before you hire anyone...

I certainly would!

2. oh, i intend to.

i will be a very, very tough customer. i was a union carpenter at one time, and have done plenty of remodeling jobs.
i really like the guys style, tho.
