It has been a VERY last few months learning all sorts at the new job. Last week as some of you know I spent the week in Mason City, Ia, home of our metal door and frame supplier. It was a week of education learning products, pricing and then estimating software. The folks there treated us very nice and are a great bunch of people. I did however sneak out a few night to take some pictures, of course.
