I recently had some landscaping done in my back yard. They removed one of my citrus trees, upgraded the sprinkler system, planted some trees, aerated the grass and spread it with topsoil. It looks much better, and the grass is slowly coming back in. One thing the landscaper would not do is rebuild the cedar fence atrium around the master bath window. The guy asked me if I could hire a “handy-man” to do that because it wasn’t really in the scope of what they usually did.
So I thought about who I might hire, and I thought of Mark. I have seen his work and he does a grrrr-eat job. He built an Arizona room on Heather and his house and it is very fine.
I called him up to see if he would take the job. He was very willing to help me out. We haggled a lot over price … he wanted to do it for free … I wouldn’t hear of it. We finally settled on a trade of services, and believe me — I got the far, far better end of the deal!
He built the whole thing this weekend. To really comprehend how much work it was, in addition to viewing the pictures, you need to know it was 100 degrees outside!

Doesn’t it look fabulous? Mark, I can’t thank you enough.
WOW! My hubby is GRRRREAT!
That looks professional! What a great guy!
Think he’d want to come up to Keno to help us? We don’t know anyone who does that good of work.
Aren’t we glad that Heather got him into the family! She couldn’t have made a better choice. We all love Mark.
It looks very nice. I would have been happy to have done it for you, and would not have haggled over the price. Just to make you happy I would have let you pay me a whole lot!
Very nice. Donna, you are going to have a new house pretty soon, piece by piece.
You’ve been having a lot of fun updating & fixing up your place in the past few years. Those projects, if kept small, are sure a lot of fun. Looks wonderful!
