Have your floors, and enjoy them too!

I love strawberries and shortcake and totally forget about sugar, calories and all that jazz when I’m eating my favorite dessert. It’s not like I eat dessert every day, and I do workout (sometimes) and I’m getting better about my gym routine. But hey, I play tennis two to three times a week, so that has to count for something doesn’t it?

When I’m working on floors I always stand back and admire the work in progress, I’ve always done that. It’s like I can’t work two hours straight without always standing back with a smile on my face staring at the progress. I always see the completion of the floor way before it’s completed. It really never occurred to me until recently, but I guess I’m having my cake and eating it too! I love my skill, and I get to enjoy the beauty of my labor. My customers hire me to do the work and look forward to having their floors, but every job has a piece of me somehow and someway.

Today, I got a call from a customer whose home I did in Maple Hardwood over eight years ago. She asked if I remembered her and would I be interested in doing some additional work for her. I smiled and immediately told her where she lived and what floors I installed for her at that time, to her amazement she really enjoyed hearing that I remembered her as well as what she hired me to achieve for her. I may have impressed upon her the value I place on my customers no doubt, and I smiled to myself knowing that she knew that. Hardwood floors are a lifetime of beauty. So have your hardwood floors, and enjoy them too!
