Creating One-Of-A-Kind Items
Good news! My leg is back to 70% full strength and I'm ready for my first surf session in two weeks! I have also finished and delivered 38 Craftsman style curtain rod holders with chiseled in ebony plugs. That was a time consuming task but it was fun because that's what we do here at R.R. Contractors; really custom stuff. Anybody can go to Restoration Hardware and buy some faux curtain rod holders, but whats so great about that? What I like is "one-of-a-kind" creations that embody all that is pure of the artistic process- specifically making something original with your hands. We'll I got to get back to this job breakdown I'm doing right now then it's off to the beach for some exercise engaging in the sport of kings.

Still Healing while Finishing Curtain Rods
My leg is not healing very quick - too bad. Also my neck now hurts as well - double whammy! I still keep plugging along regardless of my physical condition. Stephen Hawking can only use his mouth and is able to work just fine - so "don't cry for me Argentina". Anyway, the craftsman curtain rods are coming along just fine, and should be ready for install soon. I've got some appointments coming up over the next few days- so I guess it's time to start a new job. Well I just finished this carrot so I got to go now - later.

Craftsman Curtain Rods
Hello. Today is my second day of recovery from a debilitating injury to my left thigh muscle. I am supposed to keep my leg wrapped, elevated and immobile for a few more days, but being self-employed does not allow me that luxury. So I will do office work and light duty woodworking in my quaint little shop. I am doing an interesting assignment for a client who we have worked for in the past. This individual would like me to create and install custom Craftsman style, curtain rods and holders made of wood. The beautiful thing is I don't even have to purchase any additional wood because he saved all the usable pieces of finish lumber we had left from the original new home project. I love being efficient, economical and environmentally correct. Well that's all for now- Any questions? I'm having a special this week free advice to those that ask.
