If anyone could walk on water, Tom Smith could, writes Christina Connor. A master pool finisher who virtually cut his teeth on a pool-finishing trowel; perfectionism is part of his genetic DNA. “I guess you have to pay a premium for quality workmanship,” says Tom, with not a whisper of boastfulness in his voice. “But when you bring in someone [...]
