“Love
is like a tree: it grows by itself, roots itself deeply in our being
and continues to flourish over a heart in ruin. The inexplicable fact is
that the blinder it is, the more tenacious it is. It is never stronger
than when it is completely unreasonable.” - Victor Hugo, The Hunchback of Notre Dame

RECOMMENDATION
I’d
like to recognize and recommend Scott Wright. We hired Scott to replace
a large porch on our Terlingua property. He gave us a fair price, told
us he would order the materials Monday, have them by Wednesday and do
the porch on Thursday. We went back to Wimberley and came back the next
Friday to a beautiful new porch. He never asked for money up front,
ordered the material, had the porch done in a day and it looks great. We
actually had to track him down to pay him. We highly recommend Scott
for any handy man/construction work in the area. Contact him through Bee
Mountain Hardware. Madonna & Allan Kimball
