You had two babies two years in a row and realized that taking a couple years off from work would be the best thing for all of you. You figured that after six months or so, once you had an established schedule, it would be easier to take on a little independent contractor work to do at home. That first summer with two little ones, you set up the back deck like a preschool and while you were hustling around that late spring afternoon, you got a sunburn on your nose and arms. Hmm. You knew you wanted to keep […]
There are no fonder memories for you than weekends in the backyard playing catch with your Dad, playing board games, and great lunches made especially for you by Mom to eat outdoors on the patio under the awning. You can feel your smile as your little twins, turning four years old today, come running out of the patio door to play in the yard while you decorate for the big birthday bash…with their help of course! The winter was harsh and you gave a lot of thought to home improvements, just waiting for a sign of spring. Working with your […]
You purchased an old house that needed a lot of work and everyone has been pitching in to restore this charming home to its original beauty. Preserving historical buildings, residential and commercial is what you do, so working on your own home has been a lot of fun for you and your family. You have worked on historical buildings that are over 300 years old and know that there are many modern, more energy efficient options in home renovation products and materials that are made to look like they have an antique feeling. Maintaining the integrity of your historical structure […]
You and your wife love to entertain, especially in the summer. Before you purchased your own home, she was often heard saying, “Nothing is more important than matching party goods.” She always got rave reviews on her gourmet cooking as well as the colorful theme of the matching plates, napkins, serving ware, and cutlery. Everything was lovely. The condominium you were renting had a nice little patio where a few people could hang out and it was shaded by Eclipse retractable awnings, making it always cool and comfortable so it was nice for entertaining and private times. Sometimes, the two […]
Strip malls are coming back into vogue, especially the newer upscale locations. You took your little eatery and grew it to a point where you were certain customers would follow if you moved to a newer location, but that didn’t seem to happen. It took awhile to figure out what the problem was. You advertised but even when people drove to where they thought the restaurant was, they said they couldn’t find it. When you determined with your authorized Eclipse Shading Systems® dealer which awnings you would have installed and it came to fabric selection, your consultant asked if you […]
As summer months move closer, you relish the time you can spend hanging out on the deck under the cooler air of the retractable awning. Everything seems to slow down a bit. When you were outside enjoying lunch today, you recalled the years you visited with your grandmother on summer afternoons. It was a hug and a kiss then outside to talk, have cookies and milk, and read a book together under her big metal awning before you went for a long late afternoon walk. Sometimes there were activities with materials from her special craft box that she kept in […]
