 Ah, the end of the workday and time to settle back in my office chair.  

Our first live webinar of 2012 will kick off on Thursday, Jan. 19, at 2 p.m. Eastern time. 

It took two installments in this series to make it all the way up to the point where the Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Work Project (CWP) for Haiti would actually begin the work of constructing 100 simple, decent homes in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Haiti and the homeowners.

We recently reviewed a report by The Freedonia Group, Cleveland, Ohio titled Roofing – US Industry Study with Forecasts for 2015 & 2020.

The week of Thanksgiving is historically “minor” in the construction industry. I usually take it off because it is one of those times when, no matter what my areas of responsibility lie, the phone just does not ring.
