What's new at Concord Carpenter?
Hi Guys,
I took last week off from the newsletter - CRAZY week. One of the crew injured his back so I have been pulling some double duty. While I absolutely love working on the job site more than I normally do, it stinks to get home to 200 emails, invoices, payroll and estimates.
The bathroom project is moving along nicely and we recently posted several videos. The next few newsletters will be focusing on this project as we take every opportunity to detail and explain the process and steps involved.
Most of the videos have time lapse filming to show you the process in action!!
If you are planning on doing a bathroom remodel these videos will save you time and aggravation as a home owner and PROs can glean a few management and install tips here as well!
