Painters and Stereo installers, all of them have some sort of broken link in their DNA when it comes to Time and workmanship.

Same guy can do the most amazing job one day and the next produce something you could have done better yourself.

I am happy to do it, Marcus. I would be remiss in not informing you OG Mark has agreed to share the load.

Don't let OG's help take away from your generosity. You can both drink. I will update the schedule as needed

As far as the latter, I've got my own porch and will have my own beers so...

I'd nudged Mark so he can nudge Phil,( Son nudging Father doesn't always work but it's worth a try) mine took a while too but it came back perfect, color and pin striping were spot on.

You should know he did since you signed the delivery receipt for your new big screen.
