I don't see huge changes from past remodeling markets. Materials and some techniques will be more energy conscious. Our projects are dramatically more energy efficient since Ray and I took the BPI Energy Efficiency training, and I bought the blower door and infrared camera. And I believe that projects will be less extravagant, at least for a while.
With all this in mind, I'm in the throes of re-casting our marketing and website. I'd like to get feedback from you. Can you email me with what you think we do well and, just as important, what we don't do so well. And please, don't worry about hurting my feelings. Honest feedback is far more important to me than frou-frou comments.
I appreciate and value your comments and suggestions.

My friend Joel is a computer geek. Joel sent me a link to an extensive list of anti-virus programs. Most of them are free. This website lists, reviews and rates pretty much all of the anti-virus programs. Use this link to learn about these programs:
