FenceTech - Day 1

Started out at the awards breakfast yesterday. It's amazing what's new with the AFA. The amount of training available and the general impression of professionalism they bring to the industry has a whole is very impressive.

I was sitting with David, Matt and Dick from Quality Fence from Terra Haute, IN. Just chatting with them about what they are seeing in Norhtern Indiana. They say there have been a lot of plant closing in the area but in general business has been good. They mostly do residential, "Dogs and kids are very good for my business" Says Dick. Dick is a grandfather and in some of his television spots, he features his family. He says "maintanace free" is the key. All of his customers would rather be playing with the kids or walking their dogs on weekends. That being said, he said they do sell a lot of wood.

More later.
