Great Benefits

            Thought I would post the photos from the finished look for the bartered advertising space.



Nice clean look

6' high solid wood fence dog ear cut top

Nice way to advertise the fence company for a few hours of labor

The Foster-Powell PDX blog averages anywhere from 1,200 - 1,500 hits a week,... so a few hours of labor to enjoy 6 months of advertising is a great benefit for Fix-A-Fence LLC 

Until the next update


because we all are made for so much more.

Bartered Labor For Advertisement Real Estate

I like estimates that turn into a win win for the customer and the business. Went on an estimate and during the estimate through all the chit chat I found out that the customer has a blog site and he asked if he were to use Fix-A-Fence LLC would I be inclined to barter some advertising space for some labor.

As you are well aware in this internet world the more links and backlinks the better for ranking's on the search engines. Here is the blog site that has the Fix-A-Fence LLC advertisement listed.

Not a bad deal for a few hours worth of work, the stats for this blog are not huge but considering the area it covers the fosterpowellpdx.com blog site has a number of followers that may just need a fence repair or install. Winter is coming up and there may be a few items left on the honey-do list too.

Here are a couple photos of the barter




The customer has taken out all the exiting 5' high white slatted chain link fence and had it disposed of and in place of that is having a 6' high solid wood fence built by Fix-A-Fence LLC

Remember if you're in the Portland, OR area and you are in need of a fence repair or complete wood or chain link fence install Fix-A-Fence LLC can do it all.

Whoops,...that almost started to sound like a commercial. Well that what seems is always on when I go to turn on the TV,...commercials. Change the channel more commercials. Why couldn't we embed some sort of encrypted message into a commercial that whenever someone watches it they wind up committing a random act of kindness? Imagine how this could change the way we run our daily lives? Imagine how many acts of kindness would be committed everyday? Why not go out and just create the app so that everyone can get it on their Iphones and Androids? 

Well that is just an idea. 

Anyway until the next post remember to always

The Motor Is In And The Truck Runs Like New

The motor is in and I am


smiling!

The truck runs like new, what a saving's. It sure is nice to have family that helps out. 

One thing for sure when it comes to business it is nice to have clients that trust you and will call you for other work besides the profession you are in. For instance the last time I worked for a client of mine he asked me not only to build him a fence but to remove and install the boards on the front porch of the rental property.



He also had me remove the existing black falling apart rot iron hand railing and install new galv. fencing material as handrails. Big change and only a few stains. My client plans on painting the next year, is like me in a way because it is always one step at a time. I have had my share of running and it is getting harder to get back up from falling so I have learned to slow down in running this race called life. 

Just after finishing this project my client has asked me to bid a 6 unit complex for backyard dividing fence partitions and gates. Just put the bid out before I starting writing this blog so that will be the next bit of fresh content, whether I get the work order or not.

So until the next bit of content

Remember to
