        She should call over to the nearest high school and ask the shop teacher to name a student who's pretty handy.

          And, speaking of students, whatever happened to Andy?

          A high school kid to do a kitchen and a bath? You are kidding right?

            Not kitchen and bath, but the shed and other simple things. And who knows -- could get another Andy.

            Because I have hired kids that had went through carpentry and building training in high school and tech schools, I can say with certainty that I wouldn't turn any of them loose on anything more complicated than a flat roofed dog house. After turning them loose on that, I would expect to burn it and build it correct after they were done.

          Don't be rediculous!
          She wants a remodelor, not a HS student working part time

    Give Kip a call at Oakleaf Construction in Buffalo Wyoming, just to the north of you. Cell # 307-680-0571, Office # 307-684-5167. They do a number of jobs in the gillette area and may come down to Casper. They have quite a portfolio for you to look through and I believe there specialty is remodle. However, beware if shopping around in Casper for a contractor.
