They know this structure from the initial interview. I get hard workers this way. They tend to show more interest in their work and are eager to learn the trade efficiently so that they can do the work in a timely manner.

[B]2) [/B]Homes we have been doing for years now have many more windows than they had in years past. Did they all have additions put on?…
