My New Years resolution was to clean out my yard, shop and basement at my yard and install a suite to rent out in the basement to generate some income. So far: 11 truck loads of lumber and wood to the burn pile 2 truck loads of metal to the scrap yard 1 truck load of tires 2 truck loads of metal items to the landfill 1 truck load of cardboard to recycle plant 1 truck load of glass to recycle plant 1 truck load of old shingles and membrane 3 truck loads misc garbage to the landfill

22 loads and we haven't touched the basement yet. 22 years in business (works out to a load a year) :unsure:>>>

Stick to a budget, i think i can do this instead of saying things that i know i can't do.>>>

Continuing with our business plan... Last year (2008) we had some good ideas, faltered during execution, and were caught flat-footed by some unanticipated events. So, this year, will work on making our weaknesses less and our strengths more... And a key element is to continue to recruit and retain the best people we can find.>>>

To look at all last year customers and find out why the are calling back for mroe work.>>>

Sorry about that post... (Im new to the forum) Cut the dead weight, make EVERYONE accountable, run a profitable business.>>>

I have instituted a conference with all the people that are important to the performance of this year. Will continue on a quarterly basis . This of course is teleconferencing . Everyone involved lives in different parts of the country . Cell phone and txt becomes the networking tool. Reaching across the divide that separates one company from another. Constantly communicating with both sides engenders a team spirit . Always quiring about how can we become better how can we better server the customers . What is it that we did last year that we can improve on. The roofing business I'm on the fence for the last number of years . I prefer to take it slow and try to maintain what I like about it back in the day when time wasn't like it is today , when it was fun and honorable...... a hand shake completed many deals.>>>
