Fort Smith's Custom Kitchen and Bath Dealer
Submitted by DFC on Fri, 2009-07-10 20:13.
We just finished up on the master bath tile work for a nice project. We used 18"x18" porcelain on the floor with clipped corners and inserted black 4" cut pieces. In the large custom shower we put up 12" porcelain and two seperate rows of 1x12 (1"square) glass tiles that helped add flair. We're currently installing the carpet in the master suite and next week we'll start on the hallbath. This project is being managed by Justin Green.

Beautiful Saturday
Submitted by DFC on Sat, 2009-06-13 17:55.
At work today. I'm looking outside and the weather is just about perfect. I worked with a couple this morning wanting to do a total kitchen renovation in Van Buren. I'll meet them at their house week after next. I helped another woman look at options for applying tumbled stone on her backsplash. I loaded up two orders that came in for customers. Other than that, I'm waiting for the Razorbacks to win big in Omaha.

The Economy and Customers
Submitted by DFC on Mon, 2009-05-25 14:35.
It's tough right now for everyone. People are so hesitant to make big-ticket purchases, or they just don't have the disposable income to do so because of lay-offs or firings. We here at Damon's understand this. We are believers in you can build a better mouse trap. We are re-tooling our product lines to allow for a better price range mix. We are working with our vendors on securing even lower pricing, and watching to keep costs as low as possible to allow us to offer even lower prices to our customers.
Don't Be Fooled By Lumber Liquidators
Submitted by DFC on Tue, 2009-05-12 00:25.
I received a flyer in the mail at my home from Lumber Liquidators today stating $1.99 a square foot for professional installation on laminate and cork and $2.50 a square foot on solid and engineered wood with a free in home estimate. It goes on to say how you'll be suprised how low their installation cost is. Let me explain a few details. We offer the same installations for $.50 less a square foot, that could be a savings of several hundred dollars depending on the job size.

Re Bath Cheaply
Submitted by DFC on Mon, 2009-04-13 18:51.
Some companies offer to redo you bathroom by simply masking, or covering up the old tub or shower by encapsulating it. This is nothing more than a plastic cover up; a bandage of sorts. You still have the old molded tub and tile underneath and no detection will be done to see if damage has been done behind the walls. This is not the proper way to redo your bath. Quality work and craftsmanship is the best way, not a "quick", one day fix.
Economy Looking Better
Submitted by DFC on Sat, 2009-04-11 16:23.
There seems to be a better mood these days among people about the overall health of the nation. People are a little more able to spend and shop, and there's an aire of optimism among them. President Obama says there's signs of recovery and experts are predicting the recession should end around September, but the employment sector won't recover until 2010. We do look forward to a growth spurt and a lower unemployment rate... I just hope we can pay for it all.

Home Sales Up in Crawford and Sebastian Counties
Submitted by DFC on Fri, 2010-06-25 14:34.
Home sales in Crawford and Sebastian counties during May were up despite concerns of a falloff resulting from expiration of federal tax credits for certain homebuyers.
Crawford County saw 63 new and existing homes sold in May, up 7% compared to May 2009, while Sebastian County saw a 29% increase with 143 homes sold in May. The figures are from the King Realty Group’s May report prepared by Realtor Ernie Schimmelman.
Pasted from The City Wire.
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.
Armstrong Price Increase
Submitted by DFC on Tue, 2010-05-18 15:54.
We've just been informed of a price increase announcement by Armstrong World Floors. This will be a six to eight percent increase effective with shipments made on or after June 1, 2010.
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...
Color of the Year: Turquoise
Submitted by DFC on Fri, 2010-04-30 02:04.
At Home Arkansas reports that Pantone, the world's authority on color, has chosen turquoise as the color of the year in 2010. For homes, Pantone suggests painting it with neautrals to add excitement, with red and pink as complement, or with dark blue for a classic maritime look. They also suggest to bodly mix it with yellow and green for a trendsetting decor.

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:
- Keep it quick and easy.
- Keep it simple with minimal frills.
- Exploit smaller, overlooked markets.
- 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.
