Bears on the Job …
I spent the day in Aspen recently seeing customer projects and meeting with owners. We have had the good fortune to work with Steve Smith Construction. He does not have a complete website, but he does have a great gallery on his Google+ page.
Steve showed us a gorgeous home he completed a few years back but first shared this video of a visitor to a different job site with us. This bear is a beautiful animal but not one I would like to be that close to … or work with on a job site!

Clearly, a higher level of expertise is required to be successful with projects like these:
