heh, I've worked on custom metalwork for the rich for about 17 years !! I once made a latch for a $50,000.00 dog house!! the person that owned the main house and the dog was a lady that lived alone on the waterfront.
I made 35 or so doorhandels for a guy at about $2000.00 per set. he wanted the owner of Sony to know he was holding the doorhandel of the richest man in the world.... I wonder why he wanted phone jacks in his six foot tall medicine cabnets !?!?
he was cool though and paid his bill without a gripe. heh, I also had to cut apart and rebuild his faucets because they didn't reach all the way to the tub. it's the architects, not the rich customers selling all the fancy stuff to them.
some rich ( some !??!? heh near all ) rich are total fuckers, especially world wide coffie makers who FUCK poor craftspeople out of the money they are owed by bringing lawyers in to help hack down the bill.
eh, I dunno. I make my living from these people and the architects orgy they fund, but it does seem sick sometimes when I drive back into town and see the people begging by the freeway off ramp.
