  1. I built the new deck on Al’s home and just by speaking with him throughout the job i could tell just by listening to him that he was a caring soul and very thankful for the transformation to his home. I have only known a few Al’s throughout my life and all of them where very good people and Al now joins the club in my mind of good people that should still be with us.
