It has been busy the past week. We had a couple nice calm days and got some storm damage cleaned up or repaired, added additional lighting to the packaging area and replaced all of the outside flood lights with compact flourescent (CFL) bulbs. Inside, we took a look at our inventory and have placed our odd lots and special Christmas Gift items on sale
in our Overstocks & Closeouts Section.
