… we live for in Minnesota. 78 degrees, no humidity and blue bird skies. A far cry from that snowy night in January
when it was snowing about 2” + an hour, and I was trying to get Tyler un-stuck
in the driveway after a night of training. Ahhh, our reward! Fellow Minnesotans, enjoy every bit of it for tomorrow it
may snow!
Applewood is entering a new season again. Looks like the
hiring fishing pole just got baited and cast into the waters. Yep, The time
seems to be here. As my last post said, http://carpenterandtheartist.blogspot.com/2014/06/monkeys-in-rafters.html I just can't keep up with it all.
Especially the physical demands. ...
I can remember years
ago when just starting out, I got a real kick out of "out performing" the older
guys. Well what goes around comes around, or is it what comes around goes around??? Doesn’t matter. The point is my guys out perform me
physically, plain and simple.
I hate to admit that, but I am the weak link. I can no
longer be the reason for slowing them down. It will now become my full time job to search out and sell
sell sell. We will hopefully soon have another carpenter mouth to feed, and in
turn, that new carpenter will be helping to feed our needs.
Now don’t be worrying one bit. I will still be on the jobs,
still be demanding un-matched excellence, and still be a pain in my carpenters
back sides.
My 2 rules will always be the same…
Rule 1…The boss is always right
Rule 2…When the boss is wrong, refer to rule #1!
On a different thought, Angies List is now recognizing us as
a "Preferred Contractor."
May sound bigger then it really is right now, but we have
had enough positive reviews to have one of their representatives contact us and
tell us we have been put on their “Page of Happiness” Huh, imagine that, they
have a page of happiness! Again, I don’t know what all this means, but we will be
talking to them soon to find out what they can do for us. Maybe it’s another
avenue for advertising.
I wonder if there is a "book of happiness" where you can find
the "page of happiness."
Stay tuned, I will let you know as the “page” turns.
