NorthWest Handy

09/30/2022

One of my more recent success stories almost started as a fluke.
I was shopping for a new storm door with an existing (repeat) client; there were a couple of remarkably nice gals in the same vicinity who seemed to need a little help. I answered a couple of simple questions and then got asked if I do installations. “Sure thing” said I, and we quickly exchanged numbers.

Come to find out these gals were very enthusiastic ex-Cali refugees – real excited to be up here in God’s country (the beautiful Pacific NW). They custom ordered their new storm doors before calling me for an installation appointment.

Long story short: Their first door went in without a hitch & aaabsolutely perfectly. It didn’t take long however, to realize that their second door was both too tall “&” too narrow to fit their remarkably unusual front portal. Ms. Terri caught me scratch’n my head (trying to figure out jesssss ezzakly how to make this work). Given that they were prepping for a Montana road trip, she wisely suggested we step back and ponder our options.

Two weeks flew by as I reviewed my alternatives. We got together on the 12th; the job took the better part of a full day, some rather precise cuts, one can of the proper color accent paint, & voila, …”Perfection!!!”

Thankfully NorthWest Handy does not charge by the hour. I only do one job at a time and make a point of taking alllll the time I need to do the job right. I’d rather be thorough than quick any day and we all know that repeat customers oftentimes become very dear friends, eh?

Just a NorthWest Handy quickie…
I knew it was going to be an interesting day when a very dear friend (who shall remain nameless) called me recently saying he owed me an apology. Seems my dear friend’s patio roof was leaking pretty ferociously. “I knew I shoulda called ya – but I didn’t. I called a roofing company instead, they laid down a brand spank’n new torch-down roof …and $TOOmany dollars later, it still leaks like a sieve!”

”No problem Bubba, I’ll come over …and we’ll jes figure it out” said I.

It took a couple of visits; two different products, with two different dry times but we got ‘er done. We actually did leak checks (simulating a torrential downpour) after each separate application. Product #1 sealed up about 98% of the problem …and the second product nailed the remaining 2%.

*NWH’s bill? A tiny little fraction of what he’d already shelled out.
My reward? A big fat tip “&” sharing a cold frosty beer with my very appreciative friend on his gorgeous waterfront deck when done!

“Dammm… I do love it when a plan comes together!”

This much I can say “…for sure.”
Today, more than at any other time than I can recall, I am thankful for the security & flexibility that NorthWest Handy provides. I haven’t a clue what’s coming or the challenges that will “attend”; I am, on the other hand absolutely convinced that mobility, security, flexibility & freedom from any/all debt will very soon become “invaluable”. Buckle up buttercups – I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if the road ahead gets a tad “bumpy”.

This day started with the bcc receipt of “thee” kindest unsolicited letter of NorthWest Handy recommendation/referral. The letter was emailed directly from my client to his Realtor; Sue Davis of Windermere Real Estate. The funny thing is that I never even met this client. Soon after receiving his Home Inspection Report he called NorthWest Handy - and then …left to go golfing in California.

”Badaboom, …badaBINNGGG” baby – because this is indeed exactly how NWH rolls!!!

Whhhaaattt …a gorgeous day!
I mean to tell ya – it was twenty nine different kinds of beautiful. We had a little blue sky, fluffy white clouds, some stormy/steely greys, and even a little bit of hail – and then more blue skies.

Actually, I’m surprised I even noticed; I was laser focused on perhaps the most challenging water-pressure job challenges I’ve ever had. It’s a beautiful estate property; massive scale, stunning neighborhood, tremendous water views, elegant …inside & out. I actually have fingerprints on several (very) subtle facets of this project. Rumor has it that lil beauty will be hitt’n the market pretty soon; I can’t wait to see the price!
