Greetings!
Everyone's talking about it, but can't do anything about it!
What is it? The Dog Days of Summer!
It's the hottest time of the year and we are really experiencing the heat this year!
But "heat" doesn't have to be thought of in a negative way. Finally, after years of a sluggish economy construction is really "heating up" in Charlotte County.
My history as Past President of the Charlotte DeSoto Building Industry and current Board Member, as well as my upcoming Presidency of the Charlotte County Chamber of Commerce, gives me the opportunity to network with other businesses in the community and many are looking forward to a good season ahead.
I'm pleased to say Thornberry Custom Builders, Inc. and many others in the building industry are seeing more prospective clients and closing more contracts. This means that the trickle down effect will eventually create a better economy for all businesses in the area.
So, keep in mind...Some of us actually like it HOT!
Sincerely, TJ Thornberry TJ Thornberry Thornberry Custom Builders Inc

Monthly Home Owner Tip
Garage Upkeep
Hazardous materials such as paint and solvents should be disposed of properly. Don't store heat-sensitive or combustible materials in the garage, as Summer temperatures in an enclosed area can rise throughout the season creating an unsafe environment.
Inspect the floor for grease spots from leaking car fluids, and have your car serviced promptly if you find any.
If you have children, instruct them not to go in the garage unaccompanied. Store your hand tools and power tools behind a lock and key. Fertilizers, weed-killers, and pesticides should be stored out of a child's reach or behind a locked cabinet. You might also consider organic gardening, which employs nontoxic alternatives to these poisonous chemicals.

The Charlotte DeSoto Building Industry Association held a "Bowling & Billiards" FUNdraiser at the beginning of August at Treasure Lanes in Murdock.
It was a great time for friends, family, new members and seasoned members to get together have an evening of fun (as well as raise money for the association). Everyone had a great time and the Treasure Lanes crew really went out of their way to make sure the event was a success!
By the way, Jess wanted everyone to know that she had the high score on our team!!!

A Word from Our Clients...
| Perisho Residence |
"When we decided to build our home we knew we would need a builder that would truly listen to our desires as well as the vision we had. No doubt we made the right decision to go with TJ. Our building process began in June 2012.
During the construction of our home, TJ was providing us with the best tradesmen available. This made problems minimal. TJ was on top of finding a solution to anything that did come up with a calm and assertive manner. TJ has strong organizing and communication skills which kept everything on schedule, and he always informed us on what was going on and when.
We highly recommend Thornberry construction for any needs you have, whether it be a remodel or designing and building a new home. You can have complete confidence that you have chosen an honest, capable and educated builder.
Sincerely,
Dave and Ruth Perisho
