Career Opportunities in the Building Industry Trades

by Chuck kavanaugh

The following appeared in the September 6th edition of the CourierJournal. BIA is working hand-in hand with JCPS superintendent Dr. Donna Hargens and her team to bring vocational training back into local schools.

In nearly every corner of the Greater Louisville area, you can see the revitalization of the building industry in new residential and commercial construction and remodeling.

Despite this uptick, another crisis looms for the construction industry: a significant labor shortage is holding back construction both nationally and in the Greater Louisville area.

Residential and commercial construction have increased significantly since the low point of the economic downturn. However, this resurgence in new construction is fragile and it is constrained by a shortage of skilled workers because so many construction workers across the country left their jobs during the Great Recession and have not returned.

At present, there are 143,000 vacant construction positions nationwide, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) analysis. In a recent NAHB survey, 60 percent of members reported delays in completing projects on time due to a shortage of qualified workers, while other jobs were lost all together.

In the Louisville area, we have seen a strong residential and commercial construction industry working hard to adapt to labor shortages. These shortages don’t apply just to key trades such as electrical, plumbing, carpentry, HVAC and masonry. There are shortages of other construction specialists such as appliance technicians and closet and fireplace installers, to name a few. In fact, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics is projecting that three of the fastest growing occupations from 2012 through 2022 will be in the construction industry.  A key reason for the construction labor shortage is that many schools have cut back on technical and construction trades training and are focusing almost solely on preparing students for advanced degree programs.

Although the construction trades offer a strong career path, fewer students are seeking careers in the construction industry because there are so few programs to prepare them for the plentiful career opportunities.  This is particularly unfortunate given that the 2014 median wage in the residential building sector was nearly $40,000, more than 10% above the US median wage.

The construction industry can offer significant opportunities for our young people in the coming years,

but only if we provide the proper training needed to enter the construction workforce. Examples of successful training in our area, albeit on a small scale, include the non-profit YouthBuild Louisville and the Shelby County High School Student Chapter of the National Association of Home Builders.

YouthBuild Louisville trains at-risk youth at a model campus in Smoketown. This year, the program graduated 28 students prepared to enter the construction workforce, with some graduates even starting their own businesses.

The Shelby County High School program, which is led by teacher Walt Wilson, trains students to transition into construction trades after completing high school. Some of the graduates also go on to study for advanced degrees in construction.

Here in the Greater Louisville area, Building Industry Association leadership recently met with Jefferson County Public School Superintendent Dr. Donna Hargens to discuss the school system’s Construction Trades Program. It is a high priority for members of the BIA to be involved in working with the local schools and mentoring students in the program in order to connect graduates directly to available jobs in the area.

Given the gravity of the current construction labor shortage, now is the time for our schools to refocus on preparing our youth for these jobs. Policymakers at all levels of government and educators across the Greater Louisville area must act to provide the opportunity for technical and construction trades training in our schools.

We urge you to let the knowledgeable and committed team of professionals from the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville partner with you to build a stronger Louisville and prepare our youth for well-paying careers in construction.

Sincerely,

Charles J. Kavanaugh Executive Vice President Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville october 2015 5

“I can take a deep breath, look out the kitchen window and know they are okay. That’s something I couldn’t do before. I’m a better parent because I have a few minutes to myself.”

– Dawn Renner

Playhouse Recipient Profile:

Noah and Gabriel Renner The seventh in a series of profiles of children who have received playhouses produced by the Building Industry Charitable Foundation in partnership with Kosair Charities and YouthBuild Louisville

By Stacy Smith Rogers

“The playhouse has certainly made an impact on our daily lives. I don’t think the boys could get through a day without it now,” said Dawn Renner, whose sons Noah and Gabriel were recipients of an incredible playhouse presented in February of this year, courtesy of BIA’s Building Industry Charitable Foundation (BICF), Kosair Charities and YouthBuild Louisville. Designed as both a train station and a church, the playhouse has been an answer to a prayer and a journey toward making a difference in lives of the Renner family.

“The playhouse has certainly made an impact on our daily lives. I don’t think the boys could get through a day without it now,” - Dawn Renner

As a single mom of three, Dawn has been “on-call” nearly every second since she adopted the boys and their older sister Angelina.

She juggles a busy schedule caring for them and teaching for a living.

There is little, if any, downtime for her. Since receiving the playhouse in February , however, the boys have been able to develop the skills

they need to become more independent, both physically and emotionally. Designed specifically to assist in building mobility and strength, the playhouse has become a safe place where Noah and Gabriel can play independently. Now, Dawn said, she can run in the house and start dinner while the boys are having fun. Even the 10-15 minutes alone doing a household chore allows her a quick break. Parents with special-needs children realize how important this is for everyone in the family. “I can take a deep breath, look out the kitchen window and know they are okay. That’s something I couldn’t do before. I’m a better parent because I have a few minutes to myself,” she added.

Both boys have cerebral palsy, and while they can walk, Noah’s gate is more unstable, so he requires more supervision. Gabe’s challenges often stem from problems associated with fetal alcohol syndrome, and his mom said he often has a hard time making common sense decisions. In the playhouse, however, Dawn said they can both climb the ladder independently and have become skilled with being safely mobile in their new environment.

Physically, the boys have made significant advancements since this winter, according to Dawn. “They’ve made progress with their fine motor skills. Gabriel’s handwriting has improved, and I directly relate october 2015 7

Noah and Gabriel that to stamping so many train tickets in his playhouse,” she explained, noting that the boys have also gained strength and flexibility. “They are both proficient with going up and down that ladder. They’re up there at least 20 times a day. As a result, Noah has been able to walk down the steps of our basement without holding on to the rail. Climbing up and down that ladder has definitely strengthened his muscles.”

“They’ve made progress with their fine motor skills.

Gabriel’s handwriting has improved and I directly relate that to stamping so many train tickets in his playhouse,” - Dawn Renner BIA President Pat Durham, Pat Durham Builder, oversaw construction of the unique playhouse designed by Mark Simpson, Simpson Builders. It was built specifically to capture the imagination of each child. Gabriel’s portion of the playhouse is a train station, while Noah’s side of the playhouse is designed to be a church. Play for him is pretending to be a priest, and his mother said he “holds” Mass there every day. In real life, Noah will soon take on the role as altar boy, and the practice in his playhouse has certainly prepared him for this responsibility. (His older sister, Angelina, will serve along with him at their church.)

Dawn said the boys wake up in the morning and want to know how many minutes they have until they can go to the playhouse. They’ve entertained many friends, which has also helped them socially. She

described a recent experience with Noah, who normally takes a while to adjust to changes. It can take up to six weeks for him to feel comfortable with someone, so when Dawn learned that Noah was seeing a new doctor, she was worried. “When I explained to him that it was like going to play with a new friend in his playhouse, he gave the new doctor a hug and went back on his own. That was huge,” she said.

“When I explained to him that it was like going to play with a new friend in his playhouse, he gave the new doctor a hug and went back on his own.

That was huge,” - Dawn Renner The kids have become accustomed to the routine of playing in their playhouse and what’s involved with taking ownership of it. “It’s been really wonderful for their sense of independence. I’ll ask Gabriel, ‘Do you have everything cleaned up? Are the windows shut, the air-conditioning and lights off? We have a routine with it and he’s able to systematically think things through,” she explained, adding that playhouse has helped with the boys’ critical thinking skills as well. Dawn’s joy over seeing her boys embrace the playhouse is easily contagious.

“It’s just so fun to see them achieve something close to what their peers are doing. The playhouse has definitely changed our lives for the positive,” she added.

Submissions are made online through the association’s website at bialouisville.com, beginning November 1, 2015.

According to BIA Director of Member Services Dawn Agnew, the value of receiving an Award of Excellence extends well beyond the actual presentation at the awards luncheon in January. Recipients can benefit from the honor throughout the year and incorporate it into their public relations and marketing plans. “It’s more than just bragging rights. It’s a good advertising tool all year long,” she said.

Tips on Finishing The Year

Strong!

By Stacy Smith Rogers

It’s the fourth quarter. Whether your strategy is to kick, throw or run with it, it’s time to pull your team in for a huddle and determine the best game plan to finish strong! What you need now is an end-of-year business strategy that will get all your players focused on making these next few months productive and profitable.

The fall months are packed full of distractions ... school year routines, holidays, turkeys, gifts, college rivalries, fall festivals and season tickets to cheer on teams wearing red and blue. Among all the festivities is an underlying need to wrap up the fourth quarter in a nice, brightly colored package, adorned with as much profitability and energy as possible.

With a little planning, the year end can be as full and productive as that Halloween loot bag the kids will soon be dragging in.

“If we know a particular business will close for a certain amount of days, we coordinate around their schedules to make sure we meet our closing and completion deadlines,” - Pat Durham

Use Holiday Deadlines to Your Advantage When it comes to home and work related projects, most people want to complete them before their houses are full with party planning and visiting guests for the holidays. BIA President Pat Durham recommends using the holiday deadlines to your advantage. “If we have proposals outstanding, we encourage decisions for start dates around the holidays and see who wants to be finished before Thanksgiving, 12 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

Christmas, etc.,” he said, acknowledging that it’s important to pull key players into the game. “If we know a particular business will close for a certain amount of days, we coordinate around their schedules to make sure we meet our closing and completion deadlines,” he further explained. For individuals who make a living off commission or are paid by the job, often, the biggest motivator for the holidays is the paycheck which comes upon a completed project.

Take ‘Thanks’ to a New Level You don’t have to wait until Thanksgiving to show your gratitude, especially to your clients. Go through your database and determine how you can begin showing thanks, while opening the door for more business before the end of the year. Be creative! Find ways to express gratefulness to your customers. Have a drawing through social media for a door prize, host an open house, put on your apron and get those pies in the oven! Find an outlet that’s a good fit for your business and thank customers for their previous work, but emphasize what you can do for them now to make their lives easier or to generate referrals.

Demonstrate a gratitude for your business relationships and you just might get more back in return.

Jump Start Your Momentum (Literally) Do the shorter days make you feel less productive? Many members turn to exercise for a quick pick-me-up. “When I feel like I may be losing energy and enthusiasm as the winter months roll around, I try to pick up my exercise habits. Nothing charges you for the rest of the day like a 45 minute run or bike ride,” noted Jeremy Esposito,

Esposito Construction. So, put down that turkey leg, and pick up a daily routine that can help keep your business in shape! Run a mile, walk around the block, lead your team on a nature hike. Incorporate some physical activity to improve your fiscal status.

Don’t Underestimate the Value of Planning, Prioritizing and Positive Energy “The way we stay focused to finish the year strong is prioritizing our projects and our finish schedule. If we have ongoing projects, we adjust schedules around closings or, if remodeling, around a promised completion date,” Durham recommended.

BIA Immediate Past President Perry Lyons shared his perspective, “Our team knows and has endorsed the amount of hard work upcoming at the end of this year and going into 2016. They are well motivated and will have to expend positive energy and productivity.

After the last several ‘lean’ years, they are excited about the challenge and are pushing forward with a positive and productive attitude!”

“If you plan properly in the first quarter. You will succeed in the fourth quarter. Stick to the plan,” advised BIA Associate Vice President Stan Logan, Logan Lavelle Hunt. There’s value in taking the time to plan, and while you might be focused on end-of-year results, it’s important to evaluate what has worked (and what hasn’t) during this time as well. Take note of what your business has accomplished, and go into the new year with a solid game plan for success.

“A helpful tool to keep my focus and determination towards the end of a project is to go back to the beginning idea or mission of whatever I am trying to complete. It’s easy for the macro view of any project to get lost in the details along the way, which is why it’s good to reflect on what the overall holistic purpose of the project is. This helps to ‘psych’ myself up and get reinvigorated inspiration for a job.”

Website Redesign Offers Customers Easier Access to BIA Members

By Stacy Smith Rogers

A quick visit to the association’s website reveals a new look, designed with the primary goal of connecting members to customers.

With larger photos and more consumer-friendly navigation features, bialouisville.com is positioned as “the voice of the building industry” for Greater Louisville, and the new design reflects a modern, information-packed venue that promotes the Association’s Members and events to the public, while providing internal audiences with easy-toaccess information about BIA issues and happenings.

Some of the improvements include: • Simplified navigation

• Enhanced search features • More photos

• Consumer-focused home page • More mobile-friendly design

• Prominently displayed front page blog posts

• More emphasis on accessing info on new homes The changes, six months in-the-making, were based on feedback from members and the goal of providing the community with easier access to and more information about BIA, its members and the events and initiatives that establish the association as a resource. BIA Director of Communications Kieler Henry explained, “Our goal with the redesign is to more effectively connect members to customers.

That’s the core of what we do. We want our audience to be connected with our members. The search options are more front and center, and our blog posts and new homes section are more easily accessible,” he added. According to Henry, the functionality of the site, as it relates 14 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

to member-focused content, remains the same. There won’t be much of a learning curve for Members once they access the member login section. (It’s located in the top right corner.)

“Our goal with the redesign is to more effectively connect members to customers. That’s the core of what we do. We want our audience to be connected with our members.

- Kieler Henry

Henry explained that the site will continue to evolve with content and photos, enabling consumers to get fresh information on a regular basis. One of the goals of the new design is to include more photos from BIA’s signature events. “The movement of design overall is more visually driven. The photos are a key component. When someone comes to one of our events, we extend their experience with it online and enable them to use the website as a visual resource for what they saw there,” Henry elaborated.

In addition to an updated look, the new website better responds to mobile viewers who use their phones more than they do their laptops.

Ben Wilson, senior digital strategist at VIA Studio, which analyzed usage of the website and helped develop the new look and function of it, explained. “Last year, 58 percent of all the website traffic was attributed to mobile. During Homearama, that number spiked to 67 percent.”

Wilson expects that trend to continue. “The pages people go to the most include photo galleries. It’s super important in the building trade to have good images,” he added. Wilson said the new website was designed to increase traffic, page views and clicks to member pages.

Draws Interested Crowds and Generates Solid Leads for Local Remodelers

By Stacy Smith Rogers

The 30th Annual Tour of Remodeled Homes took place August 8-9, 2015, featuring 10 projects completed by BIA Registered Remodelers who welcomed hundreds of attendees to homes on display. Each stop on the Tour translated the stories of families who loved their homes but needed to love living in them more. The completed projects offered homeowners creative solutions to their structural challenges by opening up spaces, adding more natural light, updating kitchens and baths and for some, remodeling the entire thing! Presented by Bonnycastle Appliance & TV and Renewal by Andersen of Louisville, the 2015 Tour of Remodeled Homes was a big success. Here is what a few of the participants reported ...

benefit of being on the Tour. I expect that we will have five to 10 appointments in the next two months as a direct result from the event.”

Brandon Bailey, Bailey Remodeling & Construction – “We had more people go through our home than I can remember in recent years. People really liked the open feel of the space we created. That has been, and seems like will continue to be, a theme for the future.

It’s a big challenge to turn such a high volume of people/leads into real business. I find that it normally takes a full year to see the total

Joe French, Louisville Handyman – “The crowds were very good. We had over 700 people, and they seemed to love the adjustable roll-outs in the pantry and the penny round tile backsplash from Louisville Tile. We also received good feedback for having ‘before photos’ posted at each area. We had a tremendous amount of interest in the screened -in porch turned four-season room with heated tile floors, new heat

Jason Forrester, Forrester Home Renovations – “This was my first time participating, but it was a lot of fun and I would definitely do it again! Going into it, I didn’t know what to expect, but it turned out great and everything went pretty smoothly on my end. I would say we had about 400 people walk through the house. I have already had three calls for jobs based on people I met through the Tour. I am not sure where they will lead, but I’m optimistic based on the initial conversations.”

ducts and fabulous window treatments, accessories and a custom painted accent by Lisa Steinbock Interiors. We received lots of leads which we are pursing. Also, we had several folks with whom we are actively working to close a deal come by to see our work.”

Bradley Hicks, Bradley Homes – “This was my second Tour. The crowds were twice as heavy compared to what I experienced before, and we came away with quite a few appointments. We had a ball talking with people. They really responded to our work in the kitchen. We incorporated a lot of detail and customization and a mixed use of materials. They liked the brick wall and recycled stone fireplace and barn beam accents. We found a piece of walnut behind the trim and ended up using it for the island countertop. That was a good talking point, re-using a piece of material in the new space. We improved the flow, so now you can stand in the kitchen and see out into the front yard, allowing a lot of light to flow into the home. This was a good project for us to include on the Tour.”

Karen McKechnie, Stonehenge Construction – “It was a great Tour!

We had over 900 people visit our home. The comments were that no one could tell where the addition started. We added brick work and hardwood floors, and there were no transition strips. Also, the reuse of the old garage to add space to the living room and converting a bedroom into a master bathroom was well received. We have had a lot of calls. I think that a lot of people love where they live, but they want a new, open floor plan and larger master bathroom.”

Jeff Smith, Redsmith Construction – “We were consistently busy all weekend. We had almost 800 people come through the house. Everyone wanted to know the history of the it and the land. People appreciated the way the rooms were opened up and were interested in the curbless shower in the bathroom. We have had a few calls from the event already. After doing this for several years, we have found we don’t generally walk away with many leads immediately, but they tend to trickle in over the year. We also tend to see the same folks year after year. Sometimes it will take years for someone to decide to do a large project.”

David Westfall, Homework Residential Renovation – “We had a great experience at our home site this year. Our customer count was 450 people on Saturday and Sunday. I would estimate a larger crowd if there were additional houses in the area. Everyone seemed knowledgeable and interested in our project. We received many compliments for our basement remodel, and several people indicated they were planning a remodel of some sort and would be contacting us. I met with a potential client last week and have an appointment this week.”

The most memorable interior designs aren’t a composite of trends, but they usually do reflect fresh, new approaches to design while still expressing the individual style of the homeowner. Five busy Louisville designers, Jan Davisson, Cherry House Furniture Gallery; Lisa Knight, Lisa Lynn Designs; Lyn Mabry, Living Spaces by Lyn; Jacqueline Smith, Barry Wooley Designs; and Lisa Steinbock, Steinbock Interiors took time out to talk to Louisville Builder about their perspectives of what’s happening in design today and what we can expect in the coming year.

What’s New and What’s Coming in

Interior Design

By Nancy Miller

The Big (Or Not So Big) Picture Mabry: Smaller houses, a lot smaller than what we have been seeing for the past several years, are definitely trending, whether they be for empty nesters, folks who are getting ready to retire, or even young people.

There’s also a shift to more contemporary living that brings in a whole changed landscape of the living environment that includes open kitchens, dens and public living spaces that have an energy leading from one to another. Not surprisingly, along with this change, traditional furnishings are taking a second place to cleaner, contemporary pieces.

Knight: We’re getting away from wasted spaces like a formal living room and formal dining room. Every inch of a house will have a pur-

pose, which I think is a great thing. People use their formal dining rooms once or twice a year; the rooms become nothing more than dust collectors.

While homes are becoming smaller, the bells and whistles are becoming more luxurious. Homeowners don’t want as much room as they once had, but they want everything inside to be amazing. It’s fun because instead of using basic builder tiles or low-end products, higher quality products are starting to sell again. People want nicer, but less of it. High end amenities such as better appliances, beautiful flooring and upscale lighting are what distinguish some of the most spectacular homes.

Smith: Another part of the story is about the heavily detailed spaces that showcase elements such as lots of trim and coffered ceilings. But, at the same time, our clients are expressing their desire for simple and october 2015 19

Interior Design clean, not a lot of overly designed rooms with clutter. It may be a cliché, but less is more. It’s not unusual for clients ask us to go into their homes and clean out some of their “stuff.” I think everyone is beginning to realize that they can be happy with fewer things.

Davisson: I actually think the preference for smaller houses is fading in favor of larger homes.

Steinbock: Interior trim is returning to simple and clean lines unlike several details of ornate trim with grooving detail. However, it isn’t reducing in volume. Very popular are 5 ¼ to 7 ¼ inch baseboards.

“Mid-century Modern furniture has been hitting other areas of the country for awhile.

Now it’s coming to Louisville.”

Lisa Knight

Knight: We are showing a couple of Mid-century Modern in our showroom to gauge the response. The style gets back to the minimalist feel and to the direction of homes decreasing in size. But I think we’ll see a little twist to classic Mid-Century Modern, meaning a little cushier, but still with lower profiles and smaller stature.

Regardless of trends, there’s always going to be something in the house that will date over time. I think that’s why Mid-Century Modern is taking a classic turn. People may be afraid of change, but design is very changing. We no longer buy furniture and decorate our homes with the long term in mind. We won’t have antiques in the future because we’re a disposable culture. We want something new and to change it up every four or five years.

Color Steinbock: For the most part, lighter and softer colors, such as teals, beiges and grays, sort of a coastal feel, are dominating in design.

An exception to that is navy blue, which is having a resurgence. It’s one of the industry’s main color predictions for 2016. The emerging color trends are muted down from some of the clarity that has been present over the past couple of years. Grays are still popular but they’re starting to give way to colors that have more personality. Furnishings follow colors, to a great extent, having an aged, distressed feel similar to beach wood you’d see on the coast.

The Color Institute of America works closely with paint colors to introduce new color trends. Designers and builders usually receive the news about colors in advance of their hitting the market.

But an incredibly high number of consumers stay on the cutting edge of design through Houzz, where they have instant access to developing trends, vast resources and a multitude of design topics.

“Most designers are staying away from dark paint colors. Colors that are having the most impact are cool and natural, often in the grays and blues.”

Lyn Mabry

Smith: Typically, we use walls as a backdrop and don’t paint them dark. Our company is known for using light and airy aquas but we also definitely like gray and light cream in the overall scheme with pops of color in art, lamps, pillows, some window treatments and 20 louisville builder • bialouisville.com

rugs. The accents can be changed according to the season.

Mabry: I often choose a color palette that has a deep color, a pale color and a couple of colors in between. I will move from room to room using that array of colors.

Knight: Soothing, neutral and crisp wall colors, in general, are really popular but we will be seeing more high-impact colors in fabrics and wallpaper. And the big, bold colors, maybe a bright orange or a vibrant blue, may come into play through fabrics or window treatments.

Davisson: Many shades of blue (navy, light, even those with turquoise and gray undertones) are everywhere. I like blues accented with orange. But grass green can be fun. And purple came in at Homearama and looks like it could stay around for awhile.

Lighting, Wallpaper, Flooring and Window Treatments: Fresh and Exciting Mabry: Wallpaper ‒ artsy with a lot of pattern ‒ is making a definitive statement. There are two ways to use wallpaper: as a neutral background instead of paint or to be more dramatic, although it’s not a good idea to go overboard. There are some rooms that may have enough character on their own, perhaps living rooms that have a fireplace or bookcases. But, the dining room usually needs added emphasis so it’s a good place to use wallpaper. Wallpaper can be used above or below a chair rail and can replace beadboard below the chair rail, with paint above.

Wallpaper is also great in a small powder room. If a wild, large scale wallpaper is used there, it’s important that there be a balance of less bold art or a mirror.

Knight: The newest lighting and plumbing fixtures are featuring a champagne finish that’s a mix of gold and silver. It’s modern and fresh but can be very classic and will work with everything.

Mabry: Unlike in the past, there’s a great deal of mixing and matching hardware finishes. It’s just one more old rule you don’t have to follow.

Smith: Hardwood will never go out of style, but people with dogs and active lives are leaning toward wood grain ceramic tile. It has an organic feel, is available in many colors, wears extremely well and is easy to maintain.

“Green products have been happening but they’re going to become even more of a factor in design, having a very visible influence through the use of reclaimed hardwood to natural stones in countertops and flooring. People want to know they’re doing something to help the environment when they’re building their homes.”

- Lisa Knight

Knight: Window treatments may have wide banding added to the edge of the fabric or across the middle, but trim isn’t fringed or bobbly.

Smith: Recently there has been much more emphasis on outdoor living spaces, sometimes as large as the great room, and having televisions, fireplaces and other features that are functional and aesthetically interesting. Covered with retractable screens, and with heaters, they can be used even in chilly weather. october 2015 21

Davisson: Outdoor living incorporates a lot of “extras” into its design. Hot tubs, gazebos and built-in bars are some of the most requested but nothing is out of bounds, even firepits with gemstones.

The gemstones can reflect the color scheme of the interior of the home. At Homearama, my house had lime and orange gemstones that picked up the accent colors in the all-white kitchen.

Smith: The top requests on our clients’ wish lists are heated floors wherever there’s tile, larger refrigerators and unique lighting.

And for the Last Word (or Words)…

Steinbock: It’s very smart to have an interior designer walk through new construction with the builder and/or electrician to think about functionality ‒ how furniture will be placed, and how rooms will be entered and existed. If not, the basic electric code may not meet the needs of the homeowner. For example, placing a console table behind a sofa will necessitate a floor plug. Even something as simple as the placement of a thermostat needs to be taken into consideration.

Without a designer’s eye, it could end up in the middle of the dining room wall.

Builders do a great job but I think designers are mindful of how a home is truly going to be lived in. They can be another set of eyes looking at a blueprint.

membermeetings shelby county Council

OLDHAM county Council

L to R: Tony Atherton, Hawkeye Security, Denise Duncan, Carpet Specialists, Bill Lamb, WDRB, Sarah Drexler, Hawkeye Security & Dale Hellman, Prudential Heating & Air.

Shelby County Council held their August meeting at the Claudia Sanders Dinner House. We want to thank Carpet Specialists for sponsoring our meeting. Carpet Specialists presented Frank Ford, of Shelbyville Chrysler, a UK rug as a door prize. There were over 60 members in attendance.

Bob Weiss, Executive Vice President of HBAK, was our guest speaker.

Bob talked to our group about Legislation and Regulation, and how it can affect your company’s business. Bob spoke about the impact our Local, State and National Associations have on the passing or not passing of current Bills. He gave a brief description on the language that is in a Bill and how that can impact the effect on your company as well. Lora Knight, also on staff with HBAK, spoke to our group about the Kentucky Construction Career Fair that will be held at the Shelby County Fairgrounds September 29th & 30th. The next, and final meeting of 2015 will be on October 13th at the Claudia Sanders Dinner House.

On August 27, 2015 the Oldham County Council met at the John W. Black Community Center in La Grange. We would like to thank the sponsors: Carpet Specialists represented by Denise Duncan, and Hawkeye Security & Electronics, represented by Sarah Drexler and Tony Atherton. Doug Miles with First National Bank of Carrollton and Jackee Schwartz with Planet Einstein, LLC both won $100 vouchers toward carpet cleaning from Carpet Specialists.

Thank you to the dynamic speaker Bill Lamb, President and General Manager of WDRB. Mr. Lamb recounted the calculated risks taken

by WDRB during the downturn in the economy. These risks included hiring 10 new people, investing over $200,000 to broadcast Thunder Over Louisville in HD and changing the culture of WDBR. Mr. Lamb’s philosophy became the inspiration for his recent book Money Follows Excellence. Thank you to all who attended and we look forward to seeing you at the next meeting!
