What's new at Concord CarpenterHey Guys,
I spent this frigid weekend cleaning my shop and filming a few videos. It all started with me trying to reposition a single router on a shelf and before I knew it I had my entire shop torn apart. Before I knew it hours had passed, my day was over and I forgot why I originally was moving the router. Sound like A.D.D to you or O.C.D?
Speaking of time passing in the shop . . . How many times have you wished you had more time in the day to get things done? I sure know I do.
Managing one's time can be a difficult task for some and easy for
others. For me time management and staying on task at times can be
difficult. Being productive and still having time to do things we enjoy
can happen if we work at it. I used these time management tips often to keep me on track.
You may remember a few weeks back we installed a pet door. Well this weekend we checked how efficient it was with a 10 degree outdoor temperature. Watch the 2 minute video here - pretty cool results. I was surprised with our finding.
As the temperatures drop here in the Northeast the ponds start to ice over. If you live near pond or lake ice read our Ice Safety Guide to learn how to determine if the ice is thick enough to skate, fish, snow mobile or drive your truck on!
Holiday Tool Gift Buying Guide
Every year at A Concord Carpenter we

appreciate.
We call it out 2013 Holiday Tool Gift Guide and sure as hell think these gifts are better than giving a goofy holiday sweater for your FAV contractor or DIY-er.

serrated blade and is selling at approximately $25.00 like hotcakes.
Being a self admitted knife snob I'm not easily swayed by any knife that
sells for under $75.00 and that's because they're usually, cheap, knock
off pieces or crap.
Residential Fire Sprinkler System
Millions of American homes have smoke alarms, but a smoke alarm can
only alert the occupants to a fire in the house ... it cannot contain or
extinguish a fire.
According to some researchers, kids, ages 6-12 yrs, are likely to sleep through the smoke alarm when in a deep sleep.
According to the National Fire Safety Association when sprinklers are present, the chances of dying in a fire are reduced
by one-half to three-fourths and the average property loss per fire is
cut by one-half to two-thirds, compared to fires where sprinklers are
not present.
