Coming up in our Feb/Mar issue from our Editor-in-Chief, Jim Caruk
I can confirm that the team that puts the magazine together is busy since the start of the year polishing off our February/March issue.
Our cover theme for the issue is "Interior Finishing" and we have features that look at the subject from two angles. In a piece called "Inner Beauty," frequent contributor Martin Zibauer has compiled a collection of gorgeous and innovative new products to help you put the finishing touches on your reno and new build projects.
But, as we know, beauty is only skin deep. So we asked veteran writer John Bleasby to explore the latest options for soundproofing a home.
|
In the second feature, he's written for us, "The Sound of Silence," Bleasby explores various options for dealing with both ambient and impact noise issues.
Plus, in our Hot off the Toolpress section we profile the husband, wife, and son team at
Cedar Winds Design~Build in Haliburton, Ont., highlight the latest product recalls and offer some suggestions on how to spend your downtime if you've got any. Our managing editor Allan Britnell binge-watched a Netflix series called
White Gold that he's keen to talk about. It's work-related, though I gather it's probably "not safe for work."
And we have some great advice from industry experts on digital marketing and customer relations in our Build Your Business section. We've included a link to Bryan Kaplan's piece on managing customer emotions as a sneak peek for our e-newsletter readers.
Note that some scheduling issues forced us to push back the production cycle on that issue a bit so you won't likely see it in your mailbox until later this month.

As a professional RenoMark renovator, I find sometimes I have to say no to prospective clients and their renovation jobs. This may sound wrong but, once I tell you why, you'll probably agree with me.

One of the features in our Dec 2019/Jan 2020 issue, "
Charge it,
" was about installing chargers for electric vehicles (EV) in residential properties. Shortly after that issue came out, we read an article
about the City of Toronto rejecting applications for installing new parking pads based on the need to charge their EVs at home.

Once upon a time, reality TV home renovation shows featured a guy like, say, our Editor-in-Chief Jim Caruk, dealing with the trials and tribulations of, ahem, a real reno. But as reality television has continued to grow in popularity, the storylines to these shows seem to get further and further detached from reality. Case in point: Murder House Flip.
|
Some things will go well, and some will not; the client may blame you and your company, but it will definitely be on you to make it right.

Keeping you and your team safe is of the utmost importance. Check out four pieces of equipment to protect against workplace injuries.

Online articles feature reliable reviews of the latest tools and building techniques, advice on expanding and improving a small-business, and tackles the issues that concern building tradespeople the most.
