Video Transcription: Hey there my name is Simon Wregelsworth, I work with Alair Homes, greater Vancouver. I think the thing I like the most about my job is taking a customer’s idea and bringing it into a reality. You know, like this job, in particular, there was a railing here with a small staircase. So the rooms were very, sort of divided. It was laminate flooring, quite dated in here. So through transforming this space here we put a staircase that runs the full width of the room. So we are making sort of two rooms now one room, and it turned out beautifully and it looks awesome.

It was kind of interesting, this job, we took out the hearth. And then there was like a 2 ½ inch bump out, kind of all the way around opening. We jackhammered that all off and made it as smooth as possible. Behind all the cabinets there, all the HDMIs and all the cables and all that kind of stuff have actually been chiselled out in the brick, to be an access panel behind the television, I think it turned out really nice. Also, I like this reclaimed mantel.

The way to do a project, the way to do it right, I think it takes two things. It takes the worker to be passionate about what they are doing, and just working together as a team to create the best project possible. It’s very rewarding to do a job and to see that the customer really likes what you have done for them.
