Since alot of my customers have come from this site I wanted to give you a heads up on a major change. Due to health issues I'll pretty much be closing the business for the forseeable future. I will be spending the next few months finishing up the jobs I already have going but I won't be taking any more new jobs in. I will take care of any warranty issues that may come up and if/when I get the medical issues taken care of and possibly find a good assistant I will revisit opening back up. Thanks for all the support and business I've recieved from so many of you and I'll keep you posted on any changes. If you need to contact me, email is the most efficient method.
Thanks,
Rod

Thanks to all of you and as I get a better handle on things I'll let you guys know how and what's going on. I'm hoping that at the least I'll be able to open back up in at least a limited capacity in a few months.
Thanks again you are a great bunch of guys and I'll still be around to answer questions.

in my current mood that guy is on thin ice, I just might decide to hunt him down, rip his arms off and beat him to death with them.
