"trusted professional"
Bruce,
If everyone had an attitude like this nothing would
ever get done. Just because you don't have the proper skills
don't assume everyone else does not have them ether.
Your comments are nothing less than insaulting.
Here in Pgh you just made nothing but a good joke .
I've worked with "trusted professional" and most just jam the
work off to a unskilled kid in highschool, that is clueless.
There is no one that will do the job better than the owner.
Do it right and do it yourself.
Eric
