This morning when I popped out of bed, I decided to venture over to a local jobsite to check up on some arches we delivered the day before. As I arrived with my coffee in hand, I was instantly greeted by the framer with a big smile on his face. At first I thought he was eye balling my coffee and I started to think that he thought my coffee was for him. So like any sales professional would do, I immediately offered it to him. He couldn't see my hands but my fingers were crossed and I was giving a quick shout out to God praying that he would not take my caffeine rush away. Well, He chuckled and said, "oh no! I am fine, I just need to add one more arch!" Well, with a sigh of relief I was able to keep my coffee and make an additional sale.
As we walked onto the jobsite, I quickly began to notice all
84 arches were now installed. "Wow!" I said, "How long did it take you to install all of these arches?" Well he replied, "About 4 hours!
We would have finished earlier but the Meals on Wheels van pulled up and we couldn't resist taking a break!"
As I hopped in my truck to head on into work, I managed to snap some photos of the Groin Vaults, Barrel vaults and Archways he installed. See photos Below

Lately, I have being receiving a dramatic increase in phone calls with customers having a need to add a little something to there home. The something they are usually referring to is for an architectural detail that will help there homes stand out from the competition. Often it is a simple dome in the entry way or master bath, a cove ceiling in a traditional pop up ceiling, a groin vault in a hallway or some simple archways to break up a room. Regardless of the detail, a home needs to have a little bit of flare to help it stand out. Small little details like these give future home owners the "wow" factor that will ultimately sell there home.
