Touchdown!

Last week at the rock yard we had a customer come in for product. I assumed he was a landscaper because when he comes in he buys landscape materials. That day he is asking about our manufactured stone so I asked him if he is doing an outdoor kitchen. He said no, this was going to be used on one of his remodels. His real job is remodeling not landscaping. All the landscape product has been for the finishing touches on his remodels. A light bulb went on over my head. We need a remodel framer not a new home framer for the garage. Asked him if he had a framer he would recommend and he said of course, Willie is the guy for  you. We called Willie, or William as he calls himself to us.  He came out Easter Sunday, missed church but we thought God would understand. We had already been to church on Saturday to celebrate the great sacrifice Jesus made for our sins.William and Alberto looked over our plans, took measurements and yes it can be done.

Who knew our storm shelter would make such a good drafting table.

We have our shopping list of materials to get pricing and with fingers crossed he may be able to start next week. Even better our customer gave us a price range of what we should be charged and William says no problem and the price is on the low end of the range. Whoop whoop it just keeps getting better.

We didn't tell him how we thought it should be done but as he was telling us how he will do it we just smiled. We agree, a stand alone structure that is bolted to the metal building's frame is how we have thought it should be done all along.  It just took getting with the right person who does this kind of stuff every day. A remodel framer rarely has full plans and have to think and build on the fly. The building process may be started again.
