Merry Christmas!

Saturday, December 10th, 2011

It’s that time of year where we hopefully think of others and be thankful for our friends and family. I myself am just happy to get all the lights lit on the tree! (Oops I spoke too soon!)
-However, the thing I’m most thankful for is the slow ebbing down of the great suck we’ve all been living through. Work this year is has been a little better than last year where I was mostly in the red. This year I mostly broke even and next year is looking better still. My question is has things gotten any better for you? Even just a little bit.

Do you trust The BBB?

Thursday, July 14th, 2011

I’ve rejoined the Better Business Bureau and still have my A+ rating.  My question to you is does a company belonging to the BBB with a A+ rating mean anything to you?  Please let me know!

It’s Earth day and the EPA Lead goes into effect

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

This is it!
Linked to this posting is Newsday’s report on the new lead rule.
The fact of the mater is the people who don’t care, and the fly-by-nighters stand to do well, until they’re caught.
It well cost me and my clients extra to comply. Anyone who want to skirt the issue will out bid me on jobs.
Maybe I can get a Job with the EPA, cause I don’t know if doing home improvements will work out now. I guess we’ll see

More EPA news

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Here’s an update on the new EPA RRP Lead law. I got a Mailer from Hofstra University. They are offering the course starting March 26th; however the law takes effect on the 22, but better late than never I guess! They’re charging less than what I paid for the course and its easier to get to. Plus the area is a bit nicer (over in Bed-sty we were told for lunch not to stray too far! You needed to get buzzed in to the building, besides one fast food joint was a pizza place that didn’t sell pizza, and don’t get me started about the parking. )
Still not too many people know about what’s going on with this whole lead thing. I was talking to a cabinet sales woman in the Home Depot the other day. Her Hubby works for a big improvement outfit running a crew. Work is slow and he’s doing the handyman thing to put cash in the pocket and they haven’t heard anything about this. Why isn’t anybody banging the gong about this?

3-9-09 New office phone#

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Entry for March 09, 2009
New Fax/Office Phone Number (631)320-9409

I ran down to Radio Shack and Picked up one of them Magic Jack module. It took a little work with some internet tec. to set up, but I seem to be up and running. The sound is good, I can fax out well, But my fax machine isn’t working well. I had problems before, I think it maybe a problem with low black ink. I’ve been using this “Low Ink” cartridge for months now and it’s still printing (go figure). So far, the biggest draw back is; I must enter the area code to make a out going call, But hay, for 20 bucks a year I think I can learn to live with it!
