Summer is coming and it's time to re-do something! Come by and see us we can help!

Versetta Stone ..................

OK I put it off long enough , the next post ! So here it is .

Versetta Stone !

A brand new product ! What makes it special you ask ? We'll it goes together the same as siding does . You have a J-channel and starter strip the whole works !

It has an outside corner , window trim , window sill . All of the above !

As you can see it works as a veneer , inside chimney-outside chimney , under a porch . Just think of all the options you could use this for ! No you don't need a mason to do this . Your siding guys can put this up no problem ! http://masonry.owenscorning.com/versettastone

Check out their website , it's full of info . Of course I have to put my 2-cents in . My favorite application for the product , a new back splash for the kitchen ! That really looks good ......

Ok, I give up..........

Yea it's been forever! I know Christmas came and went I never even said "Happy New Year"! Well consider it said....

Yep, I know it's already the end of January.. Better late than never!!!!

Anyhow time has been ticking by and winter is still here. The rains came and we still haven't seen a snow flake! Which kinda erks me, the kids got snow boards for Christmas and I have been wanting to try them out!

No luck yet!!!!!

Yea snow is bad for business, but when you have kids, growing up and working take a back seat! Well at least on my list of priorities...

Anyhow, now that you know I am still alive, come back in a few days.. I have a few product reviews I need to put in front of you....

New year, new things!  Stuff you can't live without! Well maybe you could, but your customer might not be able too..............................

My Movie....................

Yea, I know this is a company blog, and most company's will bore you to death with the latest project they are doing and show you a bunch of pictures of a job starting and finishing. And yes I have done the same thing here, well sort of. I just show you the completed job! Then I brag about how we helped make it happen, I like to brag!

But lately I just haven't felt like going that route, I want you to come here because you never know what you might find! Today it's about my movie!

Oh no...Damn icicle...............

Ralphie all grown up

trivia: what's the little brothers name? I will tell ya next week...

best scene in the movie

Not any movie but the greatest movie ever put to film! That's right were talking about the "Christmas Story" Ever year they show it all day on Christmas day, I laugh all day at it! I have seen it about 99 times but it makes me smile every time! So today I am just gonna put a few pictures up from "my" favorite movie!!!!!! 

His name is Fred................

Fred meet world! World meet Fred! Every year, much to the dismay of my family, I name our turkey! This year his name is Fred,he came from the Butterball family! They seem to be nice parents, every year they raise their young to be about 12-13 pounds and then send them out to meet the world!

Fred

We found him hanging out in the big playpen (freezer) at the Wal-mart. He and all his brothers and sisters where just hanging out waiting to be adopted. I was looking for the big fat one with low self esteem but they all seemed to be about the same size! So I based it on location in the playpen. He was hanging around in the bottom and looked like he really wanted to get out so I dug deep and brought him to the top!

Fred on a plate

His first stage in life will be the oven and then the plate where I will introduce him to the family, they are all really excited to meet Fred so we will make sure he is dressed to impress!!! After everybody enjoys the afternoon hanging out with Fred we will pack him up and he will be ready for the final act in his career!!!

Fred on bread!

That's right he will make a guest appearance as a turkey sandwich the following day! His final act will be Fred on Bread!! Then his career as the family turkey will come to an end!

Next year we will visit the Butterball playpen and see how they do with the next generation of little fat kids! Then we can do it all over again. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Correct Deck Siesta Decking...............

Yes, I know we stock the Fiberon Horizon series decking. Lately we have sold a lot of it too. But right now Correct deck is offering a special price point (they are trying to unload some product) before the winter season comes in. Correct deck is the original co-extruded decking product and it has the 30 year warranty.

The Siesta decking is truly a nice product and we have sold a lot of it! Most of the time if our customers don't like the Fiberon products they usually buy the Correct Deck product. Right now is a great time to buy if you have an interest in composite decking. The performance of these products is really amazing when you take into consideration the low maintenance of them.

When was the last time you spilled something on your deck and thought "oh no" that's gonna leave a stain! With the Siesta Decking all you need is a roll of paper towels! Presto mess cleaned up, no stain! My house it would probably be ketchup before wine but you get the point.

Of course it has the hidden fastener system, one of the best designs too. If you have a board damaged in the middle of the deck you can replace it with no problem at all. Some of the other systems make this task very difficult. 

In this last picture you can see the quality of the finished product. They have the Duralife composite railings installed to compliment the Siesta decking.  http://www.gaf.com/Decking/DuraLife-Siesta-Deck/DuraLife-siesta-deck.aspx If you have time click the link and take a moment to check out the two products.......
