Keith called on John Aylward after the “Great Coastal Gale of 2007.” John and his crew did an outstanding job of replacing the roofs on both our home and our office building. The home roof was composite…in a variety of layers and with five (yes, 5) different pitches. That is,…

It's Peak Buoy 10 Season!

Twitter: The Quick and Dirty on the Birdy
It’s 6:40 a.m. The alarm on my iPhone 3GS is singing and it’s time to drag myself out of bed to face the world. What is happening out there, anyway? I tap open my Twitter application – Twittelator for iPhone – and within seconds, I am flooded with a sea…
