Video 9: GOLD DIGGER PART 3

After the gold digger was gone, he asked me to come back to work. I agreed. But the first time I saw him fumbling through crumpled $1s, $5s, and $20s—no more wad of $100s—it broke my heart.

Video 5: "I'M NOT A PAINTER!"

"I may be PAINTING... but I am NOT a PAINTER!" When four high-end electronics installers dismissed me because I was covered in paint, I had to speak up—loudly. What happened next became an inside joke with my client for years. Multi-trade expertise means knowing ALL the systems, not just one. Don't judge the contractor by the paint on his clothes.
