What are little boys made of?





Smart I never was. The concept of "I don't like spiders and snakes and that's not what it takes to love me" completely eluded me. I offer the attached photo of me as evidence. This was my most passionate hobby at 12 years old, My eyes closed in herpetological ecstasy.

Julie's Big Catch




This is My Friend Terrel Sword's Girlfriend Julie. First Time wade fishing at Galveston February 2012. Water temp is 55 degrees. She is a serious Fishing gal. Way to Go!




Terrel is The owner Of Sword Plumbing. They are the Best. We have done some extraordinarily complex plumbing jobs together. You are only as Good as the members of your team. I remember reading an article where a contractor was expounding on his Philosophy of Construction. He said " the definition of Superior supervision was getting exceptional work from mediocre Subcontractors".............My reaction was that was the stupidest thing I had ever heard! It is essential to use Superior subs in order to get exceptional work.

February 2010 Texas Home & Living


I was pleased to be featured in Texas Home and Living, but was not expecting to make the cover. When I was first interviewed as a possible contractor for this project I had just returned from the Canadian Rockies Boy Scout trek and was hobbling around on crutches. My client was a beautiful young couple, he European and she North African, who became pregnant with twins almost at the same time we began demolition of the unit. Their impeccable taste was well met with the architect that I had the privilege of introducing to them. Robert Fowler of Houston, Texas and the owners seemed to be of one mind with respect to design intent. I feel very fortunate to work with so many talented people and lovely clients.
