Award winning

This morning as I was getting out of the shower I heard my phone ring. I couldn’t get to it in time and didn’t recognized the number off the bat. Since I use my cel as my work phone I assumed it was an early morning client eager to open up a new project and figired they would call back shortly. Just 20 minutes later as I was enjoying my morning oatmeal it rang again. This time I was able to answer it before the caller hung up. The voice on the other end was the ever cheerful Curt Stendel of Panelworks Plus our SIPs supplier. He was at the national SIPA conference in New Orleans and just called to tell me our house had been honored with the Award of Excellence for homes Under 3000 sq ft. And on top of the that was the runner-up in the Open category taking second place to a much larger home (from Michigan I believe he said) that featured an extensive list of green features including solar panels — what a nice way to start the day. Congratulations to everyone involved Especially Panelworks Plus and Benedict and Associates for a job well done.

That had to make you feel good!

How soon after the weather warms up will it be fore you begin your landscaping projects? Late May? or sooner? That should be interesting to see as well.

Kyle,

I’d love to get a drive in yesterday as all the melting snow makes for constant clean up around our house right now. My hope is that I can put some landscaping work in early this spring May/June and some of the seed that I put down last fall will also come in strong this spring so we’re not totally working in a mud pit.
