I always check out the people, although this one really got my interest up because I couldn't FIND anything about him online except for his name. Hmmmm. Twenty years in business?
His design was kick butt. That is the downside to it all. Can you believe it? He did stick it to another customer when he collected the money down and then went bankrupt, claiming he owed the guy only $1 instead of the $10,000 deposit - yikes! The search continues.
We are moving on to other blossoms soon, but the lantern and the pagoda around the Tidal Basin are really interesting.
Thank you so much! I hope you do too!
