Chriss

Chriss has run a building and renovation business since he was 22 — his father's company, taken over when he retired. Trained as an industrial engineer, he now works mostly from a desk: quotes, planning, site follow-up. He writes here from three decades of seeing how storage actually holds up in real homes, including his own, with four sons.
