Any carpenters?

I do high end finish work when I'm not working at the shop.

This job is/was for a fancy lady spa.
They want all old reclaimed distressed wood....

They had columns that are way off plumb and wanted them wrapped and made to look in line. This building is one of the oldest buildings in San Francisco, its pre earthquake. So nothing is square or flat.

Made these.

They want to open this monday....
The scope and contract specs out butt joints....
Well turns out they want it to look like a solid beam...

So.... they dont know **** about carpentry..
Butt joints are not on a beam...

Back and forth back and forth and well, hard stop. I'm done, paid and they can sign a new contract....
