		<description><![CDATA[TNT achieves Premier status among TimberTech installers!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Very exciting news &#8211; TNT has been elevated to TimberTech Premier!  We are the ONLY contractor between Portland and Eugene that has achieved that status and it goes hand in hand with our TrexPro Gold status.  For more information <a href="http://democratherald.com/business/local/article_29e083d2-9367-11df-8503-001cc4c03286.html">click here</a> to read the article in the Democrat Herald.</p>
<p>Trent and I are very proud of the distinction that comes with our higher ranking among installers.  We work very hard to provide our customers with great structures along with terrific customer service and the products we use are a huge factor in the success of every project.  Having such a strong relationship with our suppliers and manufacturers means that we can give our customers the very best options and if any questions arise we have a direct line of contact that is available to help us out.</p>
<p>Thanks to all our wonderful customers for making TNT the success it is!  We should all go out to the patio and have a cold drink to celebrate!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Great local resource - Tony at American Water Works on Hwy 34 between Albany and Corvallis.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last weekend I needed some drip irrigation supplies to finish the watering system on the patio and in the garden.  I&#8217;ve been buying most of my supplies from the local big box but thought I&#8217;d try American Water Works on Hwy 34 to see what they had.  I LOVE this place!  Tony knows everything about drip irrigation and I bet regular irrigation too.  They have all kinds of fittings, emitters, hoses, timers &#8211; you name it.  If it waters something &#8211; Tony has it and knows exactly what to do with it.</p>
<p>They also have pre-drilled bubbler stones so you can make that beautiful water feature you&#8217;ve been thinking about.  Or you can pick your own stone and they&#8217;ll drill it for you.</p>
<p>So thank you Tony &#8211; my vegies &amp; flowers thank you.  I&#8217;ll be back for lots more.</p>
<p>If you want to get in touch with Tony he&#8217;s at American Water Works, 541-752-0305.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you ready for a "party on the patio?"]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So close!  Just a couple of small things and TNT&#8217;s part of this backyard renovation is complete.  We&#8217;ve added this new deck as well as another on the other side of the house, this patio cover with round columns and an additional round column on the front porch to tie it all together .  We may still add another smaller patio cover over the hot tub because well &#8211; it&#8217;s Oregon.</p>
<p>This project had curved Trex steps, Trex Transcend decking in Vintage Lantern and Treehouse, a gable-end patio cover, precast columns, a BBQ pop-out and so much more.</p>
<p>Are you ready for a &#8220;party on the patio?&#8221;  These folks are and TNT was there to make it happen.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Consumer Protection when dealing with Contractors]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It never hurts to remind people to verify license and insurance on any contractor you use in order to protect your rights.  It&#8217;s very simple to look up a contractor on the Oregon Construction Contractor&#8217;s Board website at <a href="http://www.oregon.gov/CCB/">http://www.oregon.gov/CCB/</a>.  From this website you can tell if a contractor has an active license in Oregon as well as how long they&#8217;ve held it, the applicable insurance and bond coverage they carry and the history they&#8217;ve had as a licensed contractor in Oregon.</p>
<p>Something that surprises many homeowners is that as licensed contractors we are required to present certain documents to every potential customer notifying them of their legal rights pertaining to the property lien process here in Oregon. While these forms can look daunting, they are designed to be for the consumer&#8217;s protection &#8211; <em>not the contractor&#8217;s</em>.  And I can&#8217;t tell you the number of times I&#8217;ve heard the following, &#8220;I&#8217;ve gotten bids from 3 other contractors and none of them gave me these documents.&#8221;  That should be a sign right there of the other contractors business practices.</p>
<p>A new issue for contractors <em>nationwide</em> is the EPA&#8217;s new lead based paint rules.  Any contractor that does work involving surfaces that could have lead paint on them now has to follow special practices and should be educated to that end.   This new requirement is called the &#8220;Certified Lead Based Paint Renovation Contractor&#8221; license and nearly every contractor that works on existing homes can be affected by it.</p>
<p>Again &#8211; the licensing agencies have made it very easy to protect yourself from shady contractors so be sure to do your homework before signing any contract.</p>

<p>Another great deck using Trex Transcends decking and railing.  Like the West Salem job we used Trex Transcends in Vintage Lantern for the border and Tree House for the main body of the deck.  But on this project the homeowners selected Vintage Lantern hand rails with Fortress Antique Bronze powder-coated balusters.  We also used Vintage Lantern for all the fascia and stair risers.</p>
