I researched so much about those architects and did as much as I can out of my shop to build windows and a couple of simple doors. Still I can't seem to satisfy them. They complained about the thickness of the door casing and base board. They btiched about the metal drawer slides instead of old fashion wood on wood slides  . We bought 4/4" stock and ripped the to a specific width to match, but those guys wanted a true 7/8" instead of 3/4" so they gave me a hard time. I said, if you are willing to pay for it, fine, I can mill out whatever will make them smile, by then the owner was tired of them so we stuck with 3/4" base and case. WE changed out the typical turn of the century faucet to a modern one. One that you can actually use. The old was a hot faucet on the left, another on the right. Not very user friendly. This older lady caught that and was just about had a siht fit over it. She demanded that I have those siht#y faucets rebuilt and re-chrome. What a bunch of jobless, useless people. I don't think any of those guys any mentioned my name anywhere. Thank goodness for that or else all the nut jobs will be calling me to fix their leaking turn of the century toilets or their period correct switch.
Keep em' away as far as you can |
Might be making a wrong assumption but you sound like more of a 'knock em up cheap' type builder to me and not having the attention to detail needed to sympathetically restore an older property
What is right to you isn't always right for the customer
