Carpet Stretching

Walking through your hallway and you trip! Nothing there, no toys, no shoes...it's the carpet.  Over time your carpet starts to loosen and you start to see ripples or puckers.  All it takes is a little manpower and equipment and it will be as good as new.
Here is a demo on how it is done:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGgVD6LuHgs

Pumpkin patch time

We are a family business.  We have kids and even though running our own business keeps us very busy, we make sure to make time for family.  We are always out and about in the community and surrounding communities so feel free to join us on our adventures or share ones that your family does.   
Our family is always on the search for things to do in the area...a great family activity our boys love is going to a pumpkin patch.  It has been a tradition since our oldest was born! (We had both of that at the patch before they were a month old!)
Check out these local places...let me know what you think of them.

Fall or Winter??

We all know Durango weather is a bit crazy....well today just proved its point.  Rain, Hail, and yes snow!  Despite the weather, get out and check out our beautiful scenery.  You don't have to go far:  from the trees on 3rd Ave, the ones up Florida Rd, and the quilted mountain sides up the valley it is a beautiful season.
