 A NOTE FROM JIM CARUK

well that went by quickly didn't it? I hope you all had a great Labour Day weekend. It's hard to believe that yet another summer has come and gone. I know that for most of us in the trades, summer's often the busiest time of the year, making it hard to get to the cottage, the beach, or even just the hammock in the backyard...wherever it is you most enjoy spending your downtime.



If you were too busy to get away, maybe take a few minutes to live vicariously through the eyes of editorial our team in the " Reno Contractor Goes on the Road" feature from our August/September issue.

A reminder that the kids are back in school so you'll want to be extra cautious on the road, particularly as the sun sets earlier and, if you're heading west, you can be virtually blinded by it. Alas, it also means that we'll soon have to start breaking out the work lights and cold-weather gear to keep going on the job.

Another thing that September brings is the start of Fall Home Show season. Our managing editor, Allan Britnell - a veteran of countless trade and consumer shows as an exhibitor and attendee over the years - has put together a "survival guide" to help you make the most of your investment in booth space. Scroll down to read that.

Allan and the rest of the team are already well underway on our October/November issue, which will included a revamped take on our annual Trucks and Vans issue, along with a feature from first-time contributor John Bleasby on how you can use 3D rendering as an amazingly effective marketing tool, plus lots more.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this edition of our monthly e-newsletter.
