Winter, Our Busiest Time of Year?

01/22/14 - "Hurry, let's get this job done before the rains come!" was the refrain from our clients back in October and November, and here we are, nearing the end of January, with still no rain in sight...
 

There came a point early this month, that clients realized that we could go ahead with their weather-dependent jobs with the assurance of warm, dry weather, and all of a sudden, we're building out of people's roofs, replacing roofdecks, lining up Westcoat(R) deck resurfacing work, and a host of jobs normally relegated to the summer months.
 
The men are in their element, framing this large dormer for a home office remodel in Soquel, and I'm reminded once again of what a diverse, talented group of people we have on our crew and in the office.
My heart goes out to the folks enduring such a harsh winter back East. And the drought here in the West is just cause for concern. But a couple of sayings come to mind:
Make hay while the sun shines...
&
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!

Full Speed Ahead with Toadal Fitness Remodel!

01/13/14 - Work is progressing nicely at the remodel we're doing at the downtown location of Toadal Fitness.

Work started in December, and we closed down the Men's locker room for a complete make-over.
During this time, club members and staff have been great, accommodating the noise and commotion that comes with the territory. It's such a pleasure working with the club's owner, Christophe, with his wacky sense of humor and admirable quest for making the best club he can for the members, and really caring about them and his staff. His philosophy of making these clubs a place for 'everyone,' not just buffed supermodels really has paid off, and his plans for expansion of the existing clubs, and new locations is a testament to his business acumen and just being a 'good guy!'
Full speed ahead!
