Contract and construction
The most pragmatic area of my triad of specialties is contracting and construction. It is a more practical form of creativity, with final results that are used by my clients on a daily basis. I work alone as much as possible, which means I most often do smaller jobs; kitchen and bath remodels, decks and railings, etc. Working alone means I don't have a bunch of strangers running around the job site, the client and I are on a much more personal basis, and costs can be more closely monitored. Sometimes the job takes a bit longer, but often the more leisurely progress allows changes to be made more easily.
