While some people actually end up asking me, I’m sure most of my customers do wonder what “CAB construction”stands for.
As I was driving to pick up materials for a job yesterday, I decided to to stop by the place where my grandparents were buried. Chester A. Badgley played a significant role in teaching me what it means to be a true craftsman.
He took great pride in his work in whatever it was. For a long time he was a self-employed wallpaper hanger in the Pottstown area, and as the story goes, he was the best around. I’ve heard people wondered why he didn’t charge more for his top level services, And it was because he didnt want to price people out of having a top-notch job done on their house. He made a good living doing what he loves, and that was good enough for him.
He wasn’t a businessman, he was a craftsman, who got paid to do what he loved.
I’m not sure exactly what my legacy is going to be, That’s still being decided I guess, but I hope people can say about me that I was a craftsman that got paid to do what he loves!
