…but I realized I wasn’t the guy for the task (ouch!).  What you say?  The same guy who used parts from a filing cabinet to fix the lawnmower frame and leftover nuts from a ceiling fan to fix the front-wheel drive pulley on the lawnmower (yeah, the same lawnmower).  YES, Yes, yes… I know what you’re thinking (other than this guy really needs a new lawnmower!).  You’re thinking that this is like MacGyver bringing in someone to make his helicopters and nuclear bombs out of paperclips, old chewing gum and dirty socks.

Although I learned how to design my site from the beginning and it was a great place to start off, it’s not where my passion and strengths lie.  There are some REALLY COOL things coming in the near future (so cool I’m tingling just thinking about them), and I realized that I could either spend the time designing the website with all the new cool stuff on it, or actually doing and creating all the new cool stuff.  Not a hard choice when I think of it that way.

Getting the site and blog ready for you to view still takes a good bit of time, but having the ability and know-how to customize it really helping to convey one of the most important features of our business… our uniqueness.  Here is the progression of one of the elements of our new blog- the header image.  Take a look and enjoy!

 … and walaah!  Our new header for the blog.  We hope you like it!
