Computool Monthly News letter
CompuTool client and friend, Rory Swan of Servicez Unlimited in Washington D.C. has partnered with Paul Lesieur of Silvertree Remodeling in Minneapolis to establish a new site/forum for remodelers, Remodelcrazy.com. The site is now in operation; it is early going, but a true grassroots community is developing.
Here is Paul's explanation of how the remodelcrazy.com idea developed:
I'm driving around last year thinking "What a crazy business and what a crazy remodel I'm doing for this couple".
Ding, Ding I grab a flat carpenters pencil three inches long and write down Remodel Crazy.
I get back and put the paper away and four months later I'm talking to Ridgewalker from CT (editor: CT is Contractortalk.com) who I don't even know and he tells me to get an open domain name for that was available that would help promote my business.
I get my domain and remember Remodel Crazy and buy and register RC.com.
Months go by and now I'm friends with some nutcase from Washington DC and we start talking and I tell him about Remodel Crazy.com and my dream is to build a great place for all the people in our industry. One thing leads to another and we get Len involved and here it is. It was just a little dream for a guy who feels like the best people in the world, its builders, don't get the proper credit and respect. The painters, carpenters, electricians, designers, and the solid vendors and associates who make it all click. All of us, this is for you. And I mean it.
Its new, and its gonna take some work, but nobody is more ready to tackle this than the Remodel Crazy crew.
So lets kick it! White collar, blue collar, years of formal education, or the practical experience in the schools of hard knocks and success -- this industry creates opportunities and working relationships for everyone.
