CEU Classes for Building Design Professionals Gaining Popularity

December 26, 2012/in Hand Scraped Flooring /by andrewblog

Whew…I am finally taking a bit of a break from traveling. I must say, one of the highlights of my job is meeting with extraordinary and talented building design professionals. Our CEU classes covering how to create award-winning designs with reclaimed and River-Recovered® woods always prompts captivating conversation. Our CEU classes have become so popular, we will be taping the first one of 2013 and offering an online option as well. We have had some people request an online option they can take at their convenience, so we are making accommodations for those who desire this. Of course, I am always excited to travel and present within companies or for organizations.

We will be taping the class in January, and working out the details for the online option, so stay tuned. In the meantime, feel free to browse the locations currently scheduled. If you are interested in signing up, please RSVP by calling the number listed for the location which you are interested:

Stunning Executive Office and Conference Room
We met up with Amy Lamb of NativeHouse Photography in Lakeland, Florida recently to shoot the new SVN Saunders Ralston Dantzler Real Estate office.

Making the Grade With Heart Pine and Heart Cypress
One of the Goodwin ‘differences’ is our effort to be transparent and straightforward about our grades and guarantees. For example, when others say, “We don’t give specific heart content percentages. It isn’t all that important,” Goodwin gives an exact percentage. River-Recovered® Heart Pine and Heart Cypress are guaranteed 100% heart. Our Legacy building reclaimed antique […]
How a Summer of Fishing Led to a Life of River Logs?
I was fishing the Suwannee River a lot in the Summer of 1976 and kept seeing deadhead logs. The term came about because the small end of the log floats like a head bobbing in the water. My antique business was in Micanopy and a friend (Jerry Moore) helping me source the antiques told me […]
