Mosaic Glass Tile and Cupped Tile

Submitted by DFC on Sun, 2009-12-13 20:41.

We just brought in a new mosaic glass tile from Spain. It's a fantastic line and even has one color that glows in the dark. This is great for kid's bathrooms as a nite-lite.

Bad Drywall

Submitted by DFC on Tue, 2009-11-24 00:28.
Have you heard about all the bad drywall being sold these days. The drywall is emitting sulphur gases and is eroding pipes, electical cords, and causing health issues. Drywall is a gypsum based product and gypsum is a mineral. Is the gypsum being mined contaminated? Or could it be that, to lessen manuafacturing costs, manufacturers are adding some kind of cheap "filler" to the product? What ever the cause, it diffinitely needs to be addressed.

Political Correctness and Social Acceptance

Submitted by DFC on Wed, 2009-11-11 02:49.
I was looking at a magazine article showing a guy getting ready to use a drill and I couldn't help notice that the guy didn't have on safety glasses. I caught myself thinking that some ad agency screwed up. How could they let this happen? It's funny how things get embedded into our normal perception of right and wrong these days. Just like that Sesame Street is 40 years old and I heard that The Grouch used to smoke a pipe on the show. I don't remember that, but people would go crazy today if that happened.

Arizona and British Petroleum

Submitted by DFC on Wed, 2010-05-26 18:45.

I can't seem to wrap my head around the idea of thousands of people marching in the streets to protest an illegal immigrant law enacted by Arizona when thousands upon thousands of gallons of crude oil are spilling in the Gulf of Mexico, destroying the aqua-eco system and putting a stop to people's livelihoods. Why is no one protesting this?

Shaw, Mohawk, and Beaulieu Carpet Price Increase

Submitted by DFC on Thu, 2010-05-20 00:52.

Shaw, Mohawk, and Beaulieu announced a carpet price increase of 5 to 7 percent this month. This will affect all orders shipped from these manufacturers after May 24th.

On a brighter note, housing construction in March rose to its highest level in 16 months, spurred by multi-family construction. Retail sales also rose for the third straight month, helped in part by the increase in sales of building materials. It's amazing how all things work in tandem. More construction means a better economy.

Orders accepted prior to June 1 will be protected at the current price level for 30 days beyond the effective date.


EPA vs. FDA Water

Submitted by DFC on Tue, 2010-05-18 02:29.
I just learned that tap water is regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and that bottled water is considered a food product, so it's monitored by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Even though both are "water", they're controlled by two different government organizations. Both agencys have seperate rules for reporting contamination and what's considered contamination. FYI, the FDA's rules on what's considered contamination are more flexible than the EPA's rules...

Southwest Airlines

Submitted by DFC on Thu, 2010-03-18 01:36.

Been doing some reading on Southwest Airlines and what makes them tick. After pouring over research, I've summarized that the four main points to their success are:

  1. Keep it quick and easy.
  2. Keep it simple with minimal frills.
  3. Exploit smaller, overlooked markets.
  4. Keep it to one business category.

These points in their business model push them toward one goal, that lower costs equates to more customers.

We are currently shifting our business model using the above points. Look for new things to come.
