Great things

I have to tell everyone that they were right.  Everyone has told me to be patient, to keep at it, to stay strong. That it takes time, keep doing what you are doing.  I want to say thank you for reminding me of all of those things.  I know it may seem simple to say and maybe even simple for some to do but I can tell you that surrounding yourself with great people, people that have been there, are there and are struggling along side you and seeing them succeed has been one of the best things I have done.  I can feel that things are starting to line up.  I have been all over the city shaking hands, smiling, passing out flyers, card, and social networking and it always amazes me how the great connections I make are all very closely related to each other even though they start out a million miles away.  It reminds me that I am moving in the right direction.  So with all that being said I have tell you that all of your encouragement if beginning to pay off.  The phone is beginning to ring, the email inbox is receiving email finally and my Facebook messenger is working.  So I just want to say THANK YOU and I will continue to stay strong and keep doing what I am doing.

Leaky update

I have had some request for an update on the water damage job we are working on. Everything is going great. The ceiling is ready for the texture finish then prep the walls for paint and then we can make way for some new floors. Thanks for asking. Everyone have a great weekend.




" Snowbird Life" Spend the morning with the family at the soccer followed up by a day at the park. Come home to find a nice note on the table along with the list of honey-dos completed and know that your house is running smooth.

Checking for leaks

Today is the day everyone one needs to get upnand go look under your sinks and check for leaks.  Your going to have to unload all the stuff  out from under the sink (maybe a good time to throw out some of the stuff you haven't used in awhile)  you may need a flashlight also. Before you climb under the sink turn on the water and let it run from hot and cold at the same time  .  Now that you are all ready for inspection its time, there are a few things you need to check.  The first thing you will see is the p trap, make sure the connections are snug and check for leaks or evidence of previous staining under p trap.  Next you will look for the valves at the wall, feel for leaks and check that the fittings are snug at the waterline connection.  Next you will want to inspect the drain tail piece and the base of the sink for leaks.  A tip for checking all this is use a dry finger to run around the connections you also use tissue paper wrapped around the fittings, the water will wick right to it.  Ok now you can reload the sink and move onto the next one.

Water Damage

Today we started a project for a friend of our that is the pastor of a local church. They had a small leak from the water fountain on the second floor.  Its amazing how something so small can cause so much damage.  Please take this opportunity to check your water connections and p traps under sinks and at the washing machine.  I know its a pain to get all the stuff out from under the sink and inspect it but the damage something like this causes is 20 times worse.  Today we hung drywall on the ceiling. Tomorrow we will hang the drywall on the walls and start the mudding process.  Here is a pic of how it started out today.  I will update you along the way,  BTW I am a bit sore tonight.  I will be looking for some Ibuprofin soon.
