Could you correct this paragraph please? (Unit 7)

Hi teachers,
Could you correct this paragraph please?
Grant and Flash both build houses, but Grant builds them slowly but well. He is a much better builder. Flash builds houses quickly but badly. He is a much worse builder. Once he built a house that fell down three months later.

Thanks in advance.

Grant and Flash are carpenters and build houses. Grant is a slow worker, but he builds solidly and well. Flash works fast, but the results are slipshod; one of his houses partially collapsed after three months.

Hi Anonymous,
Thank you very much for your correction and interest. But neither of them is a carpenter. Both of them build houses, I mean they have a construction company. The text is for low intermediate students. Is my text so badly written?
