CONT

Some people don't set out to botch a job. They have it thrust open to them by a homeowner looking for a deal. Tempting though it may be, don't try to promote a junior carpenter into a project manager, no matter how good a carpenter he is and no matter how much money you think you will save.

French

Domaine(s)
