Frist Snowfall New Brunswick – Driving

Thursday, November 24th, 2011

Good Day fellow New Brunswicker’s, we’ve been hit by our first snow storm of the season and like every other year on my drive to work this morning I hear the news on the radio that 50 accidents of sorted varieties happened in the Saint John area.

People need to take their time and also take their vehicle out and get a feel for the snow. If you are an under confident driver or an over confident driver you are putting everyone else at risk. We should really know at this point that we need to have a healthy respect for the snow but not fear it if you’re afraid stay off the roads please.

Next you should take your car out in the snow head to an empty parking lot that hasn’t been plowed and get a feel for how your vehicle responds depending on what you do with throttle, break, turning etc. This is a safe way to get a feel for how to drive your car in the snow. The best and safest thing you can do for yourself and everyone else this winter (other than having the proper equipment, tires etc.) is being able to fully understand your car and control it.

To all the trucks that slid off the road yesterday and I saw 3 if you slow down to 30 instead of trying to do 50 it wouldn’t have happened, being in a truck doesn’t mean you don’t need to drive differently when the snowfalls.

Drive Safe, and lets make sure not only ourselves but the other drivers on the road make it to Christmas.

Need Windows/Doors in New Brunswick – Bishop Windows and Doors

Friday, September 16th, 2011

We recently needed to get the windows in our older home replaced which was long past due. We decided that we would get many quotes to make sure we got a great experience. First thing I did was made up a series of questions that would help us choose the best company for us.

  1. Told us when they would show up to look at the windows and discuss the project, did they show up on time?
  2. Told us when they would have the quote to us and had it to us at that time or sooner?
  3. Did the quote contain everything discussed?
  4. Price?

We contacted 5 companies and got varied results, one company met everything we wanted in the hiring process Bishop Windows and Doors. They showed up exactly when they said they would (5 min early). They discussed the project, provided a time for when we would get the quote, we received the quote exactly at the time they said. The quote contained everything we wanted the right number of windows, the build outs for the windows and everything. The price was the most affordable.

So we hired them and paid the deposit. They told us the date that the windows would be in and they actually had them one day earlier. They told us they would do the work the following week starting on Thursday completing Friday end of day. Well it’s Friday and they already have the work completed and they did an excellent job.

We have perfect fitting high quality windows (made here in New Brunswick). The guys working were completely professional they talked with my family members while they worked, joked around with my children. They cleaned up after themselves didn’t leave any tools or mess laying around anywhere in the house or the property when they went home Thursday night. Another small but impressive thing is not one person in my family heard a single bad word from any of these workers throughout the entire project.

We could not be more pleased with the project, product, workers or the company Bishop Windows and Doors. We would recommend them to anyone that is looking to get work done. Excellent Pricing, Excellent Work, Excellent Professionalism.

World Wide Web Changes

Friday, September 16th, 2011

With the growth of technology the focus of Web Designers/Developers has been able to shift from just building a website to providing more consulting services on how to make the web more effective for their clients.

It has gotten easier and easier to develop websites (static low complexity websites) so I am able to deliver websites at an even lower cost. The alteration in services has been more focused on helping my clients to get more involved in proper Social Media and having their website work for them.

So now even with the economic world turmoil you can still utilize the web to gather additional business opportunities, and have web professionals help to make your site work more for you than you working on your website.

 

New Brunswick Vet’s Charging to Much

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

Another Example of Canadian Businesses not worried about having competitive prices. No matter what vet you go to to get your cat spade it’s $422.62

Two sets of shots at 87 plust tax and then the spade is $200. Now 1 hour drive away to Calais Maine contact the Calais Veterinary Clinic the cost is $50 plus tax per set of shots and $130 for the spade. So total cost in Calais – $241.50.

In Canada and especially in New Brunswick businesses put no effort into competition they stabilize a set price (which is technically price fixing) with everyone else offer the same services and gauge us.

New Brunswick needs to get on this is now a world market and that consumer will not continue to pay exaggerated fees.

Blog Reduction/Renew

Monday, June 6th, 2011

So after looking at so many out of date articles on my site from all the way back through 2006, I decided it was time to clean it out and start it over. The loss of  some articles is a bit of a pain but I would rather not have people getting outdated/useless information.
