Taking DIY to the next level! 🛠 Jordan Millhausen showed us how he saved big while installing custom black Elite Turf in his new facility. He saved $10,000+ and also shared a guide of the materials, tools, and processes he used. Materials & tools — 1. Floor grinder 2. 5 gallon buckets of carpet glue 3. Plenty of v groove trowels 4. Bucket of hot water 5. Plenty of rags 6. Carpet roller 6. Plenty of heavy objects ——— Process — 1. Scuff surface for proper glue adhesion 2. Thoroughly clean (not in video) 3. Roll out and stage turf 4. Check for imperfections before gluing (this process is permanent) 5. Section by section roll half the turf, spread the glue and repeat for the other half 6. Carpet roll to remove air bubbles 7. Place heavy objects all around for proper adhesion ——— The most important part is to keep everything clean. The glue is messy and can quickly ruin your investment 🧼

This time of year used to mean sending everyone home, slow time in the office to do project closeout paperwork, bid jobs for spring, work on internal projects that get put on the back burner, and do a little wandering to get away and relax. The last 5 years winter for us has meant trying to quickly get the summer jobs done so we can transition to the winter work. Battle the late season elements to wrap up so we can start shipping off the the next spot. January will kick of 3 new jobs to start 2025, with lots more behind those. What used to be the slow pace time of year has now turned into to our rush season to flip to the next stop, while still needing to close out the last ones, and still bidding during the busy bidding season through the winter (luckily we don’t need to do much of that this winter). This change of pace makes the few weeks we do stop at the holidays that much more important every year. I’ve grown to look forward to that few weeks of quiet to get some rest, play with the kids, do some house projects, and maybe stop in a few days and do a few of those office back burner projects while no one is around. We are thankful for the guys hard work this year, looking forward to another very busy year next year, and can’t wait for those couple of slow weeks before the craziness continues on as if it didn’t know winter even existed.

Here is a great article from the The Wall Street Journal on the plight of the hardwood industry in Appalachia and the US in general.

Know Your Audience | The Villages, FL . To an outsider this commercial makes ZERO sense…a roofing company and a golf cart 🤦🏻♂️ But when you look closer things become much clearer. This ad was created for The Villages, a retirement community in north central Florida. Here’s a hint: EVERYONE there has a golf cart. What Gold Key Roofing was doing here is relating to their audience in terms they could understand. They aren’t trying to appeal to Orlando, or Tampa, instead to a specific area they service and then they created content speaking directly to potential customers there…that’s why you choose a custom video company that understands YOUR industry. #videoreview #thevillages #goldkeyroofing #roofing #roofingcontractor #bluecollarmediagroup #patrickcarr
