July 30, 2017 AsktheBuilder Newsletter
If you're a new subscriber in the past few days, this is an abnormal newsletter. When I have a sale on my certified organic oxygen bleach Stain Solver, I always make a LAST CALL announcement. I'll put out a somewhat normal newsletter soon - maybe this week as I travel to Portland, OR, for the KEEN shoe/boot factory tour. LAST CALL - STAIN SOLVER The 10% off plus FREE SHIPPING sale is about to end in HOURS. I have NO CLUE when we'll do another sale. Now is the time to get a 50#r and save huge money. The sale was a gift to you because of my birthday. Here's the promo code: Timis65 If you go to the cart and the Add to Cart button doesn't work, SWITCH browsers or devices. I guarantee you the issue is at your end, not at the cart. Quick Story Just a few hours ago, I finished a new patio under my new deck. I used precast concrete large format stones that look like slate. CLICK HERE to see a photo and read about it. I used a newer product to fill the joints in between the pavers. It's called polymeric sand. I've never used it before. This morning before going to church with Kathy, I watched two installation videos made by the manufacturer. It turns out they have an oversight in their videos and in the written instructions on the bag!!! They showed in the video using a broom to sweep off the excess sand before blowing off the dust. The problem is they show you in the video to make the broom strokes go parallel or at a 90-degree angle with the joints in the pavers. When you do this, there's a tendency to dig out the sand from the joints. I experimented and it happened. Having grouted tens of thousands of square feet of ceramic tile in my day, I decided to do the broom strokes at a 45-degree angle to the paver joints. BOOM!!!! It made a huge difference and the dry sand didn't get dug out of the joints. After wetting the sand and blowing off the water with a backpack leaf blower, the pavers look AMAZING!!! I'll have photos for you in a new column I'm writing about this in a few days. Go back up and get some Stain Solver. I seriously have no idea when we'll have another sale. The promo code is SET TO EXPIRE so you need to ACT NOW! Portland, OR Meet Up If you're planning to meet me in Portland, OR this Friday for breakfast, you BETTER reach out to me ASAP to set it up.

Finding the right builder may be easier than you think if you follow these 5 tips.
1. Recommendations Ask your friends and family if they can recommend a dependable contractor or get a list of names from a local builders association. Make sure the builder has several years of experience as well as a current physical business location. 2. Research Once you have a short list of names, do some investigating. Check with state regulating agencies or business associations to see if there are any complaints on file or inquiries into business practices. Request proof of insurance as well. 3. References Ask for a list of past clients to see if they were pleased with the work. The builder should also offer a portfolio of completed projects or samples of workmanship. 4. Request A contractor should give you a detailed written estimate of your project with specifics, policies, and expectations. Be wary of the lowest bid as well as any builder who wants a large deposit up front. 5. Response Does the home builder return your phone calls or answer emails promptly? You want to be able to communicate easily with the contractor at any point during the project. When you invest the time in finding a reputable contractor, you can lessen the risk of problems during your construction project.
