Custom carpenter needed

Room & board included? I'm assuming travel expense is...

Any idea where you live, or are people supposed to guess?

Well, he's talking high end, so he likely expects he'll be flying someone in and putting them up at a nice hotel as part of the project.

Maybe he could have the butler open the yellow pages, choose an architect, and call their office (using an actual phone) to see if they can recommend a fancy carpenter.

I don't think you sound as if you are right for this job. Sorry.

Hey...I have nails, and all the correct screwdrivers for hammering them in.

I wanted a kitchen table and bench custom made with tile inlay. (Seriously.)

What I did was to look on the internet, using my state name (New York State), common parlance for my region in that state ("Hudson Valley") and "custom carpentry". On Yahoo I got a hit for several; most had galleries of their work on display on their websites.

I called the one that had a custom tile-top table in his gallery, which showed me he had, or had access to, both of the two skills I needed (tiling as well as custom carpentry).

The result is fantastic, hard maple with two contrasting stains and tile inlay, and under the price of the higher-end kitchen tables I was looking at. There seems to be a big jump in price and quality between furniture store-chain tables and higher end tables. The price I got this totally custom table and bench was just above the chain store prices.

So thats the route I recommend.

Silly, your personal assistant does such things...

why wouldn't my personal shopper do this?

Too busy shopping to fill the custom cabinet you're trying to have built by the custom carpenter you can't find.

What does the elevation of their posterior have to do with their qualifications? Why does the carpenter have to be constipated? You're a very confusing person.

This is not like that movie Misery where Kathy Bates gets James Cann in her house, busts his heel with a hammer and holds him prisoner is it?

Hmmm, looks like you rattled a few cages here :-)

I need to have some dental work done.

Just said he needed one. He didn't actually ask anyone to reply.

Send the slave over here when done. I need a vicious rose bush moved.
