Hog Ridin' Ron at the Taste Washington

This is Rancher Ron (one of our devoted followers - of which we now have 5!) sitting on Jerry's hog at the Taste Washington. Ron is an awesome radio celebrity from 710 Kiro and you can hear him with Don from 3 to 7 every weekday - you know...The Ron and Don Show! Ron is an official member of our family every since we put a metal roof on his farm house last year (which reminds me...respond to pig roast evite).

Jerry and Haley hosted a Metal Roof Specialties booth at the Taste Washington on April 5th. Over 200 wineries and 60 restaurants shared their best with those who attended.

What A Day...What A Difference!

Rebuilding Together 09 - Eight hours on a partly overcast Saturday, about 80 volunteers, lots of smiles and hard work...IT WAS PRICELESS! It is really hard to convey the feelings which arise while you are participating in something so much larger than yourself. We showed up not knowing our job, since our project was cancelled the night before, but within minutes it was clear what needed to be done. We were assigned to the "Westway" Project, a small community of multiple family homes, many of which needed repair work including gardening and fence building, painting, wiring and plumbing, drywall and replacing appliances. We just jumped right in, and by the time the day was over we had almost completed all of the tasks for each of the three houses (a few small items will get finished this week). The families we helped were there and joined right in, and their kids were as sweet and helpful as could be. And that's what made the day so rewarding, getting a first hand look at the appreciation they all felt for the small tasks we accomplished. That really is the reason volunteering is so important. It is hard for some to keep up with even the smallest parts of their daily lives, but as a goup, it is much easier. It's just as hard to give up a Saturday...until you are there, then the first thought that crosses your mind is...WHAT A PERFECT WAY TO SPEND THE DAY!

Delivery Truck

This is how big the delivery truck really is....can this fit in your driveway? If you need your ASC products delivered, they will come on a full-size semi-truck and trailer (75 feet long) with a boom offload. The truck will need access to the property, a way to get in and out, and clear overhead (no power or phone lines) to off-load using the boom. We will verify the method of delivery with you, and make sure the best option is used for your situation.

Brad

Say hi to Brad, the best delivery guy ever! We are very fortunate to work with metal roofing suppliers who take every detail seriously...including the delivery of your materials. The drivers are professional, courteous, and make every effort to get materials to your job site on time and ready to install. Brad can't delivery everything...but his friends do a pretty good job too!

Paint Plant

On Friday Jeff took Keni and I on a visit to Steelscape, where most of the metal panels we use are painted. Eric gave us an amazing tour of the plant and we left with our minds spinning.....what a fascinating place! Thank you Eric, Andrea (from Steelscape) and Jeff (from ASC Building Products) for making this happen, you're great!
