The Current BuilderFish Newsletter Jun. 14, 2013 Sent Friday, June 14, 2013 The Current Hi , What do you want to know? Every week I guess and some weeks I'm scraping bottom of the bucket. Is there a topic you'd like me to cover or do you have any questions? Or do you have any suggestions for improving the newsletter? Just reply and your response comes directly to me. What's wrong with the AC? I "debate" regularly about our air conditioner, specifically the temperature setting, with someone near and dear, so this segment is […]

The Current BuilderFish Newsletter May. 31, 2013 Sent Friday, May 31, 2013 The Current Hi , Bright and early tomorrow I'll be volunteering at the third annual 4 The Wounded 5K, an event we support because 100% of the proceeds go to the Wounded Warrior Project. The field is now full, for the first time late entrants cannot sign up on race day, but you can still donate or come out to support the runners. The race starts at 8 am, there's also a sponsor's expo with giveaways and a kid's race. Hope to see you there. Share: […]
The Current BuilderFish Newsletter May. 23, 2013 Sent Thursday, May 23, 2013 The Current Hi , Posting the "newsletter" a day early to catch everyone before they head out for the long weekend. Will keep brief hoping you'll click this link to Homes for Our Troops, a cause we support. Our company mission is making home life easier for everyone regardless of age, ability or condition. Thousands of service personnel are returning from the wars facing accessibility challenges in their houses, many cannot stay in their former homes. Locally in […]
The Current BuilderFish Newsletter May. 17, 2013 Sent Friday, May 17, 2013 The Current Hi , I discovered a new social media tool that's right up my alley. Tout is like a video version of Twitter, show-and-tell in 15 seconds. Check us out and you can also subscribe to others covering all sorts of interests from news, sports, weather to politics and religion (just not all on the same channel :>) Share: Let there be (balanced) light: Lighting most often gets short shrift when owners are budgeting home improvement or new […]
The Current BuilderFish Newsletter May. 10, 2013 Sent Friday, May 10, 2013 The Current Hi , Windows have always been ho-hum to me until I saw the shipment to Castlebrook this week. Norwood delivered directly to Central VA from New Brunswick, Canada (1,400 miles!) the mahogany doors and windows, which are so impressive I was nervous to get near them. Norwood is a family owned business and I love their slogan, "Never Ordinary", because that's us too! See the CPW below for two of their innovative door systems. Share: Building […]
The Current BuilderFish Newsletter May. 3, 2013 Sent Friday, May 3, 2013 The Current Hi , Although most important, framing is visually boring (at least to me, maybe Jonathan disagrees), but the action is picking up at Castlebrook Farm as we get under roof. Next week we begin installing windows and doors, then the cool stuff really starts to roll. Watch as we go at BuilderFish.TV . Remember, the most direct web address to BuilderFish Cam is dot-TV, not dot-Com. Share: The Father of B.S. No, not me, Dr. Joe. I love […]

The Current BuilderFish Newsletter Apr. 26, 2013 Sent Friday, April 26, 2013 The Current Hi , Do you still wish to receive this newsletter? Doing my annual spring weeding so simply hit reply whether you want or not, or you can unsubscribe anytime at the link at the bottom. I'll keep you on the list if you don't reply whatsoever but you won't hurt my feelings if you'd had enough. Above all, I don't want to clog your inbox with useless information. Do you have any suggestions for improvement or topics you'd like me to cover? This edition is […]
The Current BuilderFish Newsletter Apr. 19, 2013 Sent Friday, April 19, 2013 The Current Hi , Earlier this week I updated our Lifetime Home Survey (LTHS), hosted at LifetimeHomeSurvey.com where you can download PDFs of either the mini-two pager or full version. Depending on your virus protection settings, you can click any colored text and open a browser window to source material or a product example. Most of the changes in this quarterly update relate to indoor air quality but there are other additions as well. How should you use? The mini […]
The Current BuilderFish Newsletter Apr. 12, 2013 Sent Friday, April 12, 2013 The Current Hi , Did you know BuilderFish.com is mobile ready? (So you can share with others when you're out and about :>) Aside from entering our web address directly into your mobile device, try this trick on your computer to see what it looks like on your smart phone. With our website showing in your computer browser window, take your mouse pointer to a corner of your browser, hold and drag in a corner of the window, scrunching down the screen until it's the size […]
