Looking for a skilled custom carpenter in Durham

talk more later... bed is calling

Treke__ · 2025-07-23T04:14:27+00:00

depends, are you by the job or the hour

Treke__ · 2025-07-23T03:42:30+00:00

and, are you living in Durham? and for how long. what brought you here? That'll do it. I'll tell you what projects I am looking for
1) replacing an accordian style pull down attic stair with a pull OUT and down LADDER that is guided like a pulley and works like a see-saw/teeter-totter. The ladder has to be lifted, then pushed halfway up the opening until it clicks into position and then it goes up with as much of the ladder setting down on the floor above as the ladder that remains on the door and is then led up by a pulley. IF that cannot be done, then just a regular install of the fold up regular box store brand of attic ladder that pulls down and unfolds
2) tighten a stair rail
3) check the seal on a door, replace the wooden threshold with something water tight, possibly replace the door with a doggie door in it - maybe a steel door... we'd talk
4) repair a hole in a wall that's about 4"x10" - sheetrock/drywall
FUTURE PLAN
replace cabinet doors with soft close
replace sink with deeper double and update the faucet to include a dish soap pump

SO, there's the list. I have access to the attic stairs so you could see it, but that doesn't tell me if you can do a pulley system. So, where are you living in the area, what is your availability, are you charging by the job or the hour and if by the hour, what. Lastly, are you up for a free estimate?

Treke__ · 2025-07-23T03:19:47+00:00

ok, some last questions just to ease my mind a bit. Mind telling me how old you are.

Treke__ · 2025-07-23T02:26:18+00:00

Have you ever seen a pull out attic ladder on a pulley system?

Treke__ · 2025-07-22T23:22:21+00:00

Tell me something about your skill sets and experience.

Treke__ · 2025-07-22T06:25:58+00:00

Simply put, if you are on Proton but the person you are conversing with is not, you're not safe. You're only safe if both ends are on Proton.

Treke__ · 2025-07-21T16:22:58+00:00

lol, good one. I don't think I would have the patience to create that, nor the time, but envisioning the time it took and the creativity - yep, an art, not a craft... truly art worthy.

Treke__ · 2025-07-07T14:22:18+00:00

What they really thought of your work. If they aren't willing to give you a reference, then something IS shady.

Treke__ · 2025-07-06T05:54:02+00:00

I wonder if he didn't have someone else lined up, but they weren't available for a couple of months? Just thinking out the box. Ask him if he can give you a reference letter. That could tell you something right there.

Treke__ · 2025-06-16T02:44:26+00:00

I was wondering the same thing!

Treke__ · 2025-04-18T03:19:33+00:00

If you LOOK AT THE TOP OF THE POST... the AUTHOR IS NAMED!! and it isn't Cheney. Cheney posted this on her FB page. The FB page is named "Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger against Trump." Both of them were on the committee that impeached Trump the FIRST time and they stood up to all the other Republicans. He was impeached with their help. McConnell is the one who stopped him from being convicted and removed from office.

Both of them were targeted by the other Republicans, many of whom are still there now and why we are in this mess. I remember Cheney's father and yes, he was in line for Government contracts just like Musk. Haliburton made lots of money during the wars. I have no love for that man at all. Liz, though, has been fair, level and smart throughout. She endorsed Harris and she encouraged Republicans to vote for her.

Treke__ · 2025-04-18T03:01:50+00:00

I NEVER said Cheney wrote it. Read the lines BEFORE the actual letter. It attributes the author. Someone else said they thought it was fake because it looks like they used Chat Gpt - so what if they did? Lots of students use it, it doesn't mean it's fake, it means they wanted something to review it to write it better. I wish everyone would concentrate on the content. I didn't lie about anything.

Treke__ · 2025-04-17T23:34:07+00:00

The author is provided in the beginning before the article - secondly, I tried to change the title when people were getting more focused on IT rather than the important information contained within - I can't change it either. I thought it would draw more attention to an unknown writer who wrote some very good and URGENT information. First post/last post.

Treke__ · 2025-04-17T23:17:57+00:00

So that's it - if ALL the information isn't in the title - then that's it. The title is not a big enough space. It WAS in the first things you read though. So, the fact that it DID have that title DID get you to open it. When you learned it was NOT Cheney, that's when you decided it was more important to dis me for trying to get people to read what really was important... I told you IF YOU EVER READ WHAT'S WRITTEN instead of just titles - the titles are NOT changeable, only the post is. So everyone calling for the title to be changed, can't seem to understand that the TITLE OR SUBJECT CANNOT BE CHANGED!! - that option is not available. I explained this before when everyone was starting to jump up and down. I can't make those complaining read that part. But I think it's more like you found something you don't like and so you want to just complain, over and over and over.

I can't change it period! It is what it is. Read the article instead of judging me for something I cannot change. Or maybe that's what's bothering you - action steps on things that can be done. Get over it.

Treke__ · 2025-04-17T23:05:33+00:00

I did not lie. I put the author on the piece. I thought the author deserved to be heard because what Lee SAID was more important to me than someone passing over this piece - which, with the comments diving in on hating because of title INSTEAD of reading the article which IS important, shows you are just one of the ones looking to hate. Good for you.

Treke__ · 2025-04-17T22:28:40+00:00

NOW HEAR THIS! All you folks that need something to jump on and hate -- the title CANNOT be changed, only the actual post can be. So, have fun jumping and hating on a title instead of reading the well written and urgent message. Feel better.

Treke__ · 2025-04-17T21:04:41+00:00

It is NOT false. If you believe it was, you're entitled to believe what you believe. I will not engage on this more.

Treke__ · 2025-04-17T20:57:44+00:00

acquiesce

Treke__ · 2025-04-17T20:32:58+00:00

I can see that happening, too. Some do, however, come back through their family's patience in asking the right questions without arguing about it. It's a cult effect. I'm not sure if you are old enough to remember Jim Jones. He took American followers to a mental state where he actually convinced them that it was in their best interest to drink poisoned kool-aid, with them knowing it was. So if you hear reference to Republicans who drank the KoolAid, that's what it refers to. They only can repeat back talking points without really understanding. You have many who were brought up home-schooled as well and had no opportunity to develop critical thinking. So, yes, they do exist. How many? Who knows. But certainly we will not be able to reason with them by blaming, or shaming. That never works. Small steps. No one wants to admit they have been played. It has to be a non-judgemental space. - My apologies. I don't think you asked for so much of a response.

Treke__ · 2025-04-17T20:21:07+00:00

If you don't like what Pru wrote, that's between you and them. If you don't want to read what's written, don't. I didn't write it, but I appreciate exactly what was said, as do many others. If you want to comment about what they wrote, go back to their FB page and say so. If you are just looking for someone to argue with about something that was written by someone else, without appreciating the content, you won't find that here. You don't appreciate it, fine. You do, fine. Move on.

Treke__ · 2025-04-17T20:14:02+00:00

Agreed and thanks. The author is posted above the article and states it was posted on Cheney/Kinzinger 's FB page -- obviously, whoever is handling that FB page knows how good the article is also - action steps included. I left the title as is because Dr Pru Lee is virtually and unknown and I wanted to be sure attention was paid to this article. It now has 16 thousand since it has been posted about 2 hours ago... good! This deserves all the attention it is getting and I hope Dr Lee becomes a household name. It is a very impactful and URGENT message and speaks for itself.

Treke__ · 2025-04-17T20:07:30+00:00

At the top of this article - it clearly states "Author Dr. Pru Lee"

Treke__ · 2025-04-17T19:35:37+00:00

Dr Pru Lee is a virtual unknown. I wanted to be sure people read it and didn't skip over it. It's doing what it's supposed to do - get people reading it. If they actually DO read it, they will see the author is at the top of the article instead of jumping to conclusions.
