Wacky Weds: Levels of Perfection / Fit & Finish

One of the terms I use when talking with individuals is what level of perfection are you looking for especially on older historic homes… Do you like the squeaks & occasional dips, do you want the floor true though it may not be level or are you looking for perfectly flat & level? Well this terms applies to much more as shown below…

So what do you think, looks good, d@mn painters, not in my house… shoot, what might you have done differently? For more on this, be sure to check back for a later article…

    I like this phrase and in parallel have found myself using the phrase “level of doneness” a lot recently (in almost every aspect of life) … but back you question — if you want perfectly plumb,square and level – move in with the Sims not into an old house.

      LOL I like that, level of doneness though I am not sure how your wife likes it. Glad to see you got the back brick patio going
      Yep very true on old houses but there are some out there that just don’t understand & then wonder why it costs so much more…
      Thanks for popping in JB, much appreciated
