As a Construction Contractor, much of your world is Outside The Box. You make what seems impossible and turn it into a finished product; the whole house remodel, kitchen or bath remodel, new roof, install an attic fan, replace windows, deck, patio, hot tub, swimming pool, children's backyard playhouse. The Handyman Contractor fixes "Things," which are very important to the clients who need them—fixing a door, hanging a closet rod, moving something, removing something.

A house is built to protect the people in it. In design and construction, every corner built plays a significant role. The roof, in this case, completes the shelter as it covers and protects the whole house and people living in it. If you’re looking for roofing materials for your current or future house, then the choice of materials can differentiate between a good and a bad home.

Many years ago I wrote a blog on how an adjudicator should avoid using idiosyncratic language in their decision. I had in mind a particular judgment ( Vision Homes Ltd v Lancsville Construction Ltd ) , where one party was arguing the decision was void and of no effect because it was vague and ambiguous.
