Roy, are you advertising your friend's business here? it seems that you are... that only means, you or him will have to pay for the trader status.. I know it seems that im picking on you but, trust me Im not. As a moderator on this forum its one of my obligation to make sure that things are done right.. it helps this little community as its not cheap to run this site also it helps him as well, simply because he would then be recommended in this site..
also about his workmanship, have you got any pictures of his work? with this type of work, pictures says a lot..
would he be able to fix these two eyesores up ?
