New member Mike Popiel (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) was our showboater. He showed us a carpet stretcher that he uses for carpet installation. The Carpet and Rug Institute will certify carpet installers only if they use a carpet stretcher, and Mike uses this tool for every carpet job.

Our speaker was Gary Hunter, our Carpenter Contractor (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.). He walked us through the process of constructing a deck, complete with photos, architectural drawings, and samples of materials that he might use. Gary and his son have worked together on many carpentry projects, and they are always careful to plan and measure for a professional result. He makes sure to research and adhere to township codes for construction. At this time of year, he is finishing up his outdoor projects, and he is looking for indoor work during the colder months. He can fabricate crown molding, railings, cabinets, kitchens--just about anything made of wood. Please contact him for an estimate.
