Just simply claims that ya'll don't believe...Honestly I don't care...I've got nothing to prove.. no beef.. simply a willingness to help here and there when I see folks wanting to do something for themselves...I know how I did it... and that's the experiences/story I'm able to share...You don't want to listen then tune out...I noticed you have a property for sale in my neck of the woods..Waxahachie Texas...Feel free to visit me... we'll have lunch at Juniors in Red Oak, or over at The Cotton Patch....

Feel free to give our office a call (phone number in my signature) and Tony or Chip would be more than happy to work with you.

Many times I have discovered this beautiful oak flooring (ok, oak is still ugly but so durable) as the subfloor in these older houses.

Some part of Austin are great (Galewood area and some parts around Oak Park) while majority of remaining part are very rough.
