This past Saturday, The Performing Arts Dance Theater held a car show fundraiser at Lingenfelter's Private Collection in Brighton, MI. What a treat! Those in attendance were treated to an unusually up close and personal look at MANY vehicles that, otherwise, most people would never even see. Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, Alfa Romeo, Saleen, Vector, Bricklin, and more. Then there is the classic American Muscle such as Corvettes, Trans Am's, Z28's, Mopars, Mustangs, and on and on. All told at least 100 cars. All very nice. And don't forget the Lingenfelter custom Trans Am's. They have taken the new Camaro and made their own Trans Am version out of it. Pretty cool. I wonder how long it will take GM to resurrect Pontiac? It should never have been put away. Happy to have been part of their event.
Keep in mind our car show this year. The Great Pumpkin Classic Car Show is 10-8-11. Details will be coming. Our event is a fundraiser for the Livingston County Salvation Army. Last year it amounted to just over $10,000. Be a part of helping us help them this year. Questions? Comments? 517-545-8651 www.paulsonsconstruction.com

Financing
In today's market it is tougher than ever to get your project some outside money. We all know that. However, there are lenders out there that ARE financing projects. Granted, the amount you can borrow is certainly less than it used to be but there IS money available. Good credit and employment are two requirements that have not changed but the understanding that the housing market is what it is HAS changed. Lenders now seem to get it. After all, the way they make money is to lend it not hoard it.
So, to that end, we have at least two programs that are worth considering. They both are very simple to apply for and most people will qualify for some amount. Amounts up to $25,000 are certainly available. Again, individual credit, employment, and overall situation, are still factors that will affect your ability to borrow and/or the interest rates. Nevertheless, it is still worth looking into. Many clients find this helpful so that they can get the project moving and still hang on to some of their cash.
We'd love to be your contractor and we're here to help.
What can we do for you?

When is a deal, not a deal?
Over the past few years, we have all been conditioned to believe that cheaper is better. Better than what? That's the question we should be asking.
Everyone wants a good deal when they make a purchase, right? But what if they don't get what they thought they were getting? What if they get something different or inferior? If you go in to buy a Cadillac, you don't walk out with a Prius, right? The Prius is cheaper. It boasts incredible fuel economy. But is it a better deal? We all know it's not the same thing so it can't be. The better deal might be the dealer that sells the Cadillac with lifetime oil changes, or something like that. But the deal revolves around the Cadillac.
I was just today noting a local ad that said one product (the specific product is not the point here) was $1.90. Fine, but three of them are $6.00. If you take a second and do the math, three should come to $5.70. Why if you buy three should they be more? One would think that they should even cost less.
That's another thing we've been conditioned to. The fact that buying in bulk is cheaper. Sure, it's supposed to be, but is it always? It certainly isn't with the product above and it isn't always the case especially in the big box stores. Try me on this and check it yourselves. Look for those contractor packs and then do the math. You'll see, those packs are not always the best deal.
When it comes to remodeling services, how do you know you're getting a good deal? Are you sure the products are the same between contractors? Are you sure the installation quality and the warranties are the same? Are you sure the licensing and insurances are the same so you are covered? There is a lot to look at and all of it is above the bottom line. Comparing at the bottom line is a sure way not to get a good deal.
