A Business Card to Keep!

June 26th, 2008 · No Comments

One of my “blog intentions” was to highlight small business, like ours, who keep the economy churning. In the course of building our concrete screed, we enlist the help of other businesses. The TTI Screedright Pro is almost entirely powder coated. Powder coating is a durable finish that adheres to the object and is heat finished it is a paint finish made from finely ground solid resins and is usually applied electrostatically and then heat cured.
Several years ago, when we did our first run of concrete screeds, we found Front Range Powder Coating in Fort Collins Colorado. Mitch did a great job at a super price!
We were feeling a little hesitant to take our business across state lines though. We should have NEVER been hesitant!
To make a long, excruciating, exhausting, and embarrassing story short… we “tried” two different “powder coaters” in our home state of Wyoming… bad move. Each of the next two runs was, to say the least, disastrous. Not wanting to name any names, I would definitely stay away from Wyoming’s Capitol city when seeking a powder coater.
It is WELL WORTH the drive for anyone in Wyoming, Nebraska, or Northern Colorado, to take their stuff to Front Range Powder Coating! A little secret… your check book will thank you as well!
To finish the story… we sought out Mitch again… and he took us back! His work is impeccable, at a more than fair price. I even received a phone call today from him. Apparently, we paid him twice… he promptly tore up the second check. One doesn’t find that kind of honesty and integrity to much anymore!

Concrete Footers (almost) Complete

June 25th, 2008 · No Comments


The concrete footers for our building addition are nearly complete. Three of the four sides are done. Tom will pour the fourth wall along with the floor slab.
The building is coming along, between other shop jobs. We have had great luck with the weather, as Laramie is the perfect place to be in the summertime.
The building package is here and ready to put up as soon as we can get the concrete complete. Insallation should arrive in a couple of weeks.
