Andy beat me to it, but since I wrote it I will post it :lol: Dan, since when is acknowledging rock solid and truthful advice something unbecoming of a board member? You are about to get your ass handed to you because you want to get involved with a HEAVY overhead industry that requires a steep lea...

Well I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt since you were new and all but now I've reached my threshold. I am not on the board of anything so you can stick that up your tightwad a$$. The board is volunteer run and they do a fantastic job. I have received help from many of them, probably ...

I know it's a bulletin board and all. But you being on the SFA Board of Directors, I think this is unbecoming of the position.

I think this shows a total disregard for the spirit of the SFA and what's written in the SFA/Site Rules tab at the top of the page.

I will let you know how it goes. I don't get involved with 'schemes'. Not my style. I will skip the sarcasm on this one. If you have not wasted any of your own money yet on this you would be best to run. Run fast and drop this whole idea of "finding" a service market in your very large city with lik...

Thanks for all the great advice. Working with my Dad we've actually installed small granite countertops for bathroom vanities but never did any seams. We also do a lot of marble floor tile, some granite floor tile and lots of flagstone for outdoors. What I could never understand is, if a granite guy...

For the record, I can't vote, I'm in Canada. If I had a vote I'd vote Republican. No results last 4 years. Seems like stagnation to me. But that commercial with Romney singing 'America the Beautiful' while the negative newspaper clips are posted has got to be the best political ad I've ever seen. It...

The purpose of my reply was to point out your lack of tact. I myself was not very tactful, and for that I apologize. Every post made here reinforces the impression that we make on each other. I hope that you will excuse mine if I made a negative impression to you. The fact that you took the time to...

Is there a way to force someone to fill out their profile before they are allowed to post? Many times there is the constant query about filling out the profile. It would be easier if they were forced to do it at the onset. Regards Great suggestion! I think this would eliminate unnecessary and ineff...

Monetcristo, Thank you for the feedback. As others have already replied, we value your input. I noticed a couple of "dead" links last week, but didn't regard them as in significant need of correcting. You post has brought them into the open. Since you are starting your granite (service) business, I...

Dan, your observations will noted, categorized, labeled, filed and researched by top people. I can notify you when action is taken on these subjects, then you can re examine the changes and we can continue the process. Thanks for your input, it is very valuable. Don't worry about notifying me. It i...

Dan- you seem like a straight forward kinda guy with just a touch of arrogance. :) It can sometimes come off as being a prick. I don't think you are intending to sound that way. It just come.s across like that since we don't know you yet. Something to keep in mind, the SFA is COMPLETELY volunteer r...

Concentrate! Concentration is not a problem. If you have not completed web design as your job, I have, you should concentrate on granite countertops. Maybe you should find a job doing websites instead of starting a granite company :evil: Not wise to come here and ask for help and turn around and ta...

Seriously, what is your problem? We are a group of volunteers that give up our time maintain and run this organization and our members contribute and share their time and experience to better the industry. A broken link, an unfinished web page or scrolling logos is not a concern and will be address...

Dan, the op[inion you are giving to the members is negative in the way you are presenting it. We are more worried about stone than links on the website. Learn stone since thats what you are getting ready to do. Don't complain about the website or broken links. You want it fixed, offer your time and...

Just click the tab titled OUR SPONSORS this will give you a list of their icons to choose from and they won't pass you by. Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, this is what I had to do. Otherwise it takes forever to 'catch' the sponsor on the scrolling sponsor buttons. There are 12 to 14 sponsors in ...

For example, the 'Stone FAQ' on the left side of the webpage.

I think it is better to remove this link until there is actual content there.

We tend to bounce from subject to subject fast around here, sometimes in the same sentence..... :lol: You'll soon have lots of other comments about us. Have you ran out of posts pertaining to stone and already started looking at the formats?? :shock: I'm actually surprised the sponsors did not noti...

If site content will not be updated soon, it is best to disable the link as opposed to keeping 'Under Construction' notice for an extended time period.

I think the speed on these needs to be greatly reduced. I was looking for a sponsor link and it scrolled by several times before I managed to 'catch' or click it.

Thanks a lot Mark. I will be in touch once my business plans move farther along.

Hello Montecristo. Great on joining, it will definitely be the best investment in your business. Please fill in the signature area on your profile so we know who we are talking to. ALso we are having a workshop in August at my facility which is only about 3 -4 hours from Toronto. You can register b...

It is crazy easy to meet everyone's demands on their projects. Sounds like there is money to be made in Toronto for sure. I am surprised a city that large has no competent fabricators, could be a gold mine. Good Luck! I agree Nick. Working with my Dad, he's always stressed client satisfaction and c...

Show up on time, communicate clearly, have a decent product, invoice for the original quote and you should be successful in this business. There are a lot of knuckleheads in this business and its not hard to shine bright. The SFA, as you know, will be a HUGE assest. We're ready for your questions.....

Not cheaper but definitely more service focused.
