We went up the chain last week. This week we turned it back on ourselves. Look at all of the stuff that we used to do in order to start and run a lumber yard. Its amazing that we succeeded past year 2. The most important lesson here is that each time one of those mistakes came up we didn't let it take us down. We got to the root of it and attempted to fix the problem each and every time until it was fixed for good.If you want to have a few laughs and see what TUDS was like in the beginning listen to this one.

It depends. I think the best way to decide if you should be in a Homeshow this spring is to decide what you want out of it...then you will have your answer.
There are two ways to approach each Homeshow. You can do a hybrid of these but its usually better to stick to just one. We will go through both in detail. We did this one LIVE from a homeshow so its pretty fitting!

TREX is the industries largest brand of composite decking and while that's definitely their bread and butter is it the only thing they do? No of course not. For anyone who is doing some research on the backyard deck this is a great place to start. We go through all, and I mean all, of TREX's offerings. We also have a little fun too so don't worry.

If you are a Deck Builder in a seasonal climate your most likely take some time off every year when the weather turns from nice to crappy. In Saskatchewan most of the Builders shutdown around November and don't start back up again until late February or early March. This leaves you lots of down time to make your business that much better than last year. So what should you do with your off season?
