Get in the habit of working cleaner. All that dirt/grime/rust should be
removed before starting on any work. Leave as little to chance as
possible. Bad habits WILL come back to haunt you in time and money.

Man Han. go easy on the guy. 2nd set of pictures and your all over him :P
A Hint though norm, if you copy and paste the IMG code from photobucket (last code on the list) it will imbed the photos right into the post instead of putting up a link.
Keep up the good work and dont let those other guys discourage you

one could say, if you take pride in your work you do it the same way no matter what you got paid, or another could say, they got a hell of a job for $800 bucks. At least he didnt say anything about taping up the door handles :P
P.S. we are just having some fun you know, at the same time trying to give good advise to make people better :D

You only posted pics without any information. And asked, "what do you think?"

Was my response so terrible?

Anyhow, for $800 that's not a bargain. That's practically free.
Don't get offended Norm, i'm on your side. We's in the same boat.
