OUR NEW PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE PROGRAM IS OUR WAY OF SUPPORTING YOU

The pandemic has been tough on everyone in some way. Loved ones are being kept apart, many businesses have been struggling, and money is tight everywhere. We’ve had a lot of our own hurdles to jump over during the last few months, and we’ve had to make a lot of changes to actually get ourselves all the way over them. But in the process, we’ve realized how important it is to not only stand together but to also stand strong for those we serve. That’s why we’re so excited to offer our customers our new Preventative Maintenance Plans (PMP). Our PMP is our way of making sure we’re listening to our customers’ needs now and in the future. We realize that our customers have equipment that’s essential to keeping their business running, and the upkeep of that equipment can be costly, especially now. That’s why our PMP gives them a variety of options for figuring out how best to keep

up with their maintenance without agonizing over their ability to do so. It brings value to our customers during a time when value can be hard to come by. See below for the plans we’re currently offering. There are options for prepaying for service or paying as you go, and discounts are available depending on which option works best for you. The response we’ve received from our customers so far has been outstanding, and it makes us so excited to continue helping where we can. If you have any questions at all about our PMP, don’t hesitate to call our office so we can talk through which option is right for you. We’ll find a way through these unusual times by working together. –Morty Hodge

The Best Compressors for Performance and Value YOU JUST CAN’T BEAT KAISHAN KRSP We’ve said this before, but it’s worth saying again: Kaishan’s KRSP series is just about the best choice you can make when it comes to direct-drive air compressors. You can’t beat their quality, price, and most important of all, lifetime warranty. Kaishan now has a factory open and operating right here on U.S. soil in Alabama, which means they’re able to provide more quality reassurance than ever before. Every compressor in the KRSP series features a single-stage, rotary-screw design and includes their patented SKY air end. They’ve specifically designed their compressors to offer long-term benefits in a variety of ways, too. Kaishan provides improved energy efficiency by using low-speed operation and a 1-to-1 gear ratio that eliminates transmission energy loss while still delivering maximum power with minimal waste. They feature premium components like stainless steel tubing and triple discharge bearings that provide longer service life with lower maintenance costs. They also have heavy-duty isolators that minimize wear and tear, plus cooling features to maintain ideal operating temperatures. When routine maintenance is required, they’ve made their components extremely accessible so your downtime is kept to a minimum. They truly understand the importance of not only keeping your air compressors running well and long term but also running in a way that’s energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. The specs of every piece of equipment in the KRSP series are great because Kaishan offers one of the lowest-priced compressors on the market, making it tremendous value for the quality you get. But it’s the lifetime warranty that speaks for itself. Kaishan stands behind their compressors with a lifetime air-end warranty and provides ongoing support, maintenance, and inventory. The obvious care in the product and enthusiasm to give customers the best equipment is what makes the KRSP series a no-brainer.

THE FIRST STEPS TO BUILDING YOUR DREAM PATIO

Enjoying your time outside can be hard when you also want indoor comforts. But why settle for just one when you can have the best of both worlds with an outdoor patio? Summer is a great time to make a plan to create or revamp your current patio into your dream patio. As with any home project, however, it can be overwhelming at first to design an entire space. If you’re not sure where to start, then here are some suggestions. NO. 1: DETERMINE THE PURPOSE. No two households are the same, and likewise, no two patios are used exactly the same way. Maybe you’d like to have a quiet, cozy spot in the mornings to listen to the sounds of nature, enjoy the weather, and take in a good book or podcast. Maybe you’d like to use your patio mainly to relax and breathe in the fresh air as you entertain guests. Or, maybe you need your patio to serve both purposes! NO. 2: PLAN THE SPACE IN ADVANCE. This can be the hardest part for some, but you must keep two specific things in mind when planning your patio: the preferred size and any dream feature you’d like to include. If you can make these two work together, then you’ll be very satisfied with the results. Dream features can include a beautiful firepit, an elaborate brick design, a Jacuzzi, or a professional grilling station. For example, if you want a cozy spot for your family to enjoy Sunday afternoon barbecues, then you’ll need enough space to set up your ideal outdoor cooking area as well as a dining area with the right amount of seating. Once you have the space in mind, you can accommodate and plan for changes. NO. 3: CONSIDER HOW TO DECORATE. If your patio isn’t constructed yet (or if you’re reconstructing), then consider using fresh, great-looking patio pavers to complement your house’s exterior and invite you and your guests to step into the outdoors. Try to add interesting textures by using different materials. Slate, limestone, sandstone, and terra cotta paving slabs are very popular choices. Finally, decorate with planters, shade structures, and anything else you think will make your outdoor escape a little more comfortable.

WHAT DO JULIUS CAESAR AND BUFFALO WINGS HAVE IN COMMON?

Fun Facts About the Month of July

Most Americans associate July with Independence Day and everything the holiday entails, including traditional barbecue cuisine, fireworks, and summer vacations. However, in addition to the Fourth of July, this midsummer month has a rich history and offers fun opportunities for everyone to celebrate. ‘WHAT’S IN A NAME?’ You’ve likely heard of Julius Caesar, the famous Roman dictator and general known for changing the Roman Empire’s political structure, innovating war tactics, and eventually dying after a legendary assassination. But did you know that July, Caesar’s birth month, wasn’t always called that? It was initially named Quintilis , which means “fifth” in Latin, because it was the fifth month of the ancient Roman calendar. Shortly after Caesar’s death, the month of Quintilis was renamed July in his honor. Of course, Caesar’s legacy didn’t end there. Before he died, he implemented the Julian calendar, which he based off of the Egyptian solar calendar, and it remained in place for over 1,500 years until the Gregorian calendar was introduced in the 16th century. RED, WHITE, AND WHO? Similar to the Declaration of Independence for the U.S., Canada’s Constitution Act of 1867, signed on July 1 of that year, marks the birth of Canada. The

following year, Charles Monck, the 4th Viscount Monck and Canada’s first governor-general, signed a proclamation requesting that everyone in Canada celebrate their country’s independence on July 1. However, it wasn’t until 100 years later that the date officially became Canada Day. Most celebrations include fireworks and red and white attire, much like how Americans celebrate the Fourth of July. GOT WINGS? While chicken wings are a staple of Southern dining, they actually originated in upstate New York. In 1964, Teressa Bellissimo, co-owner of the Anchor Bar, started cooking leftover wings dipped in hot sauce for her son and his friends. After receiving enthusiastic feedback, Bellissimo put them on the menu. Over the next few years, the recipe’s popularity spread, and in 1977, former Buffalo mayor Stan Makowski declared July 29 to be National Chicken Wing Day. The reputation of the famous Buffalo wings continued to spread nationwide, and in the early ‘90s, wings became an international hit when McDonald’s, KFC, and Domino’s Pizza began selling them in the variety of flavors we know and love today.
