We’ll, it’s 2022! Natural immunity may finally take over as the dominate status and turn this pandemic into an endemic. We have been through it, have survived with very mild symptoms and are better off than before.

In 2022, we have made a few changes to our business that may impact the type of work we do for you compared to what we were able to do in the past. For example, second story pressure washing, deck building, second story facia repairs and gutter repairs were all projects we completed last year. Due to a combination of medications that make it easy become dizzy we are no longer are able to use ladders taller than a normal household step ladder; these services are now discontinued. Also, we used to have full use and strength on both hands and arms and were able to do heavy lifting or make strong use of larger tools that require great strength. Since cervical surgery last year, the strength has not returned in my left hand and fingers and as such some things are too difficult to handle. I have since become very aware that I must choose carefully what projects I accept to be sure that I’m capable of handling them properly so that the end result is perfect as you should expect it to be.

Remodel projects that take ore than four days and cannot be accomplished by myself with now have to be declined. Bathroom or kitchen remodels are no longer within the scope of my abilities. These are just a few examples of the changes we are making on the project side. If you are unsure of whether the project you have in mind fits this new model, just ask.

We have a few policy changes to announce also. One is that are “Discount” price for “project completion day payments by check” is still in effect and with a slighter larger discount amount; it’s now almost 4%. The change is that we can not longer provide a discount for ANY payments made with PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, Cash or any other payment that is credited to our bank after the project completion day. The payment will have to use the “Regular” amount. We have also had to add a maximum amount of $500.00 for ANY payments made by Cash, PayPal, Zelle or Venmo. Credit card payments remain the same as they have always been.

The reverse side of all quotes and invoice now have all this information posted for your reference.

The last change we want to announce is the addition of Professional Woodworking services. We plan to transition over the next few years from an on-sight project and repairs service to a custom woodworking, shop-based projects service. We will be offering wood based projects like wood serving trays, coasters, cutting boards, boxes of all kinds, trinkets, hand made gifts and most of all, Laser Cutting and Engraving services. We have invested heavily into Laser Engraving, Laser Cutting & other professional woodworking tools in our shop and welcome any opportunity to showcase what we have already accomplished. Some of you have already received coasters as small gifts from us that were made from the scrap pieces of flooring from the flooring we installed for you.

We will be building a showcase site for these new woodworking and engraving projects in the coming weeks. Feel free to call, text or write for some pics of what we have already completed.

If you still have unfinished projects or new ones in mind, I’m beginning to set appointments for starting up again after this long unpaid vacation! I am fully expecting (and hoping) that our governor will lift the mask mandate on businesses within a few days after the election. As long as this actually happens, I am ready to get back to project work on a limited basis. Please understand that I cannot wear a mask for more than a few minutes at a time. As such, if you require a mask being worn, then I may not be a good choice for your current projects. Also, I no longer have a helper so I am limited to one-man projects for now as well as projects that do not require physical gymnastics!

I would like to start setting appointments to view or review your projects and begin to supply a copy of the original quote or new flat-fee-guaranteed quote for new projects. Unfortunately, I have to ask several qualifying questions first in order for me to come to your home prior to the mask mandate being lifted. I hope you don’t mind, I really don’t like having to even ask these, but I’m following guidelines for people like me that have several underlying conditions that affect how I work with the recommended business guidelines.

At least until the mask mandate is lifted:

1. Counting back from the appointment day we set, in the last 14 days, has there been anyone that has come into or is presently in your home, who has tested positive for the Covid-19 virus or who has been ill with a cold, flu, or any other germ, or any symptoms of an illness?
2. Since, due to my underlying conditions, I cannot wear a mask for long periods of time; do you have any issues with me NOT wearing a mask while in your home?

If the answers to these are both ‘no’ as of the date of our meeting, I can keep our appointment.

I do pledge to be asymptomatic on the day of our appointment and any subsequent visits as well as be as careful as possible with my own health and to self-isolate immediately if I become symptomatic with any illness.

Thanks for your patience, Please Reply, call or text and we’ll set up to visit.
