Hello,
Welcome back to the June newsletter.
Craftsmanship.
I’m really lucky to work with clients who appreciate craftsmanship and all that it entails.
I was commenting to a client recently that DIY shows can give the illusion that everything is built onsite and in a fraction of the time. DIY shows can be great, but they can also create unrealistic expectations.
It’s very easy to have unrealistic expectations when you have a deadline in mind but not actually factor in the reality of how long things take.
It is also very easy to have unrealistic expectations when you yourself don’t have the expertise nor understand what goes into making something. I don’t disrespectfully go into your workplace and presume to be an expert at your job nor do I undermine your expertise and I really appreciate that clients don’t underestimate or undermine my expertise.
With 30 plus years of experience, a five minute Youtube tutorial or watching DIY shows can’t replace my training, knowledge and craftsmanship.
Returning Messages:
My goal is to always return messages by the end of the working week, usually sooner. So, if for some reason you haven’t heard from me, please do send a quick follow up message. Telstra does seem to be more efficient with voicemails when I have been working out of range, but sometimes they do still come in days later. Me not returning a message is never intentional.
Availability:
I do have some availability coming up, so please be in touch early. In the initial stages we can talk through your plans, I can answer any questions you have and also provide an estimate for your project/s.
Until next time,
Michael
