In the past 30 years I've done everything from building houses, to building custom cabinets, to rehabbing buildings on military bases. For the past 8 years I've specialized in residential remodeling doing mostly kitchens and bathrooms.

Hubba's tattoo parlor is right next to our right of way so I get to holler at him once in a while while checking stuff out. Y'all wouldn't believe the stuff that walks on Pine Street past his place every day. LOL
