1. Where has all the time gone?
_______________________________________________________________________
Where
has all the time gone?
It has been a very busy two weeks here for me. The start of my busy
season
for concrete molds has finally come around. With all the cold and nasty
weather folks have been getting,
I am surprised anyone is out doing anything! The winds here in Arizona
have been awful. Wish I could run
a windmill here to generate power, it sure would have saved a lot on
electricity the last couple weeks!
My
wife told me some disturbing news last night. She said the Whitehouse
expects gas prices to
go up again, and maybe reach $4 or more a gallon. I am not sure what
the game is they are playing,
but for a lot of Americans, it means we will be staying home a lot more
and for most folks that don't
make much to start with, it will put an added burden on even going to
work. Business will be the hardest
hit, as transportation is the most critical part of moving product from
place to place. This will force prices to
go up again, and economy will not look as rosy as it has for a while
now.
I
am just a very small business out here in the desert, but it's going
to affect me too. Plastic is tied very
close to fuel prices, and just getting to the Post Office more than
once a week will depend on how much I
am able to sell during the week.

2. New section added to our site for Customer Projects
_______________________________________________________________________
I
thought it would be great to put up a section on my site dedicated to
showing off
the work people have done using my molds and products. You have no idea
how
much it thrills me to see how inventive and creative folks can be if
given the
tools to do it. I just recently added an easy to reach link on the home
page of
http://www.moldwarehouse.com in the image section of links down in the
lower
right side called (Customer Project Gallery) where you can go see all
the projects
posted that people are starting to send in. A direct link to the page
is at
http://www.moldwarehouse.com/customer_projects.html
If
you have photos and would like to share your project with us, just write
me and
attach the photos to sales@moldwarehouse.com and I will work to get
your project posted
on the web site. I am also linking the projects to the pages that the
molds are
used on so if people are on those pages, they will see what other folks
are doing.
I
am also happy to put a link back to your web site or contact info on
those
pages if you have a business or are selling what you make.

3. Arizona Pigments - New Website and some info on pigments
_______________________________________________________________________
The
new web site at http://www.arizonapigments.com went live on Friday.
We will have retail packaged pigments up on the Mold Warehouse site
this week.
There are quite a few products in the works involving pigments and coloring
that I am working on right now. I haven't had to much time to spend
over
the last couple weeks as concrete mold sales have started again, but
I am
caught up as of this week so should be able to start the projects back
up I
was working on earlier this month. Pigments make all the difference
in the
world for finished product. What escapes most people is that there are
many
creative ways to use it other than just coloring a casting one color.
Part
of my plan on the web site is to provide a lot of ideas and examples.
I am having just way to much fun with ideas and not enough time to play
the way I want to right now :-)

4. Last Pictures in of the Flagstone Project by Wayne
_______________________________________________________________________
Wayne
sent me the last photos of his project now that it is finished.
The last photos show the walkway between the garage and the house and
a
close-up of how he cut in the stones to meet his existing walkway.
The
new pictures are now up on the site for the Flagstone project that
Wayne has completed. This is a must see at
http://www.moldwarehouse.com/flagstone_project.html
Don't forget to refresh your browser or dump the history on it so the
photos
will show up.

5. In the works
_______________________________________________________________________
Concrete
pigments are here now. I am working on a clean way to fill our retail
sale bags and an accurate way to measure them that is going to be efficient
and speedy.
I have already started filling product in them and will have pictures
and order
pages up for them this week if all goes well.
.......................................................................
Not
much time to do to much so far, but will have an update on what is done
and
coming up or added to the site next week. I missed getting out a newsletter
last weekend, and didn't have much time this week either, but will be
doing a
lot of catching up on the web work and writing over the next few days.
