 HOME BUILDING PROBLEMS - HVAC HOME AIR QUALITY

By Before The Architect  Copyright 2003-2009 Before The Architect

From time to time, people lie to me.  Straight out lie.  "I will send you . . ."  "I will call you . . ."  "I will write you . . ."  I will pay you . . ."  Or words to that effect, both written and spoken.  And then they don't do what they wrote or spoke.  I loathe and despise that behavior to my core.  That behavior diminishes the fundamental value of society, degrades our human capability and potential, stains me for even bearing its witness let alone bearing its consequences.  Before The Architect
