I don’t know why you’re so anal with the cuts, can’t you caulk up to like a quarter inch?
Any time you want to rehab my 160 year old staircase just let me know.

In your own kitchen, maybe. But as a contractor, with COVID going on, not so much. People want the work done, but no one wants you in their house. Nor do I want to be in their house. Difficult to shut down a kitchen for any amount of time with the restaurant situation.
Nice pics all around, gents. |

Little putty, little paint, make it look like what it ain’t?
I don’t think he needs a good painter to make his work look good.

I understand the sarcasm....you make a good point about what are acceptable standards. When I worked installing commercial woodwork for banks, libraries, country clubs etc...we used the AWI for settling that arguement. It spells out in great detail how this is judged, understanding full well that nothing is 100% perfect.
I have a good friend that rehabs hotels all over the country.....he was doing a final walk through inspection with the owners representative...when she started pointing out the small imperfections that could only be seen up close......he reminded her that the contract states that upon inspection only the imperfections clearly visable from five feet away need to be corrected.
