AsktheBuilder.com News: January 29, 2017
Dear ,
This afternoon I'm going on a hike with my youngest daughter Kelly. We're doing a fairly easy hike up to the top of Rattlesnake Mountain just
north of Squam Lake.
It's really more like a big hill. It should be a good time and my guess is it will be crowded as it's a fairly popular low-impact hike and the WX today is perfect for a winter hike.
Serious hikers chortle at this challenge because it's like going to hiking kindergarten. We shall see.
I've done the much harder
mountain just across the street at the end of a harsh winter.
Something New
If you're a new subscriber in the past few days, three weeks ago I embarked on a year-long project. In reality I feel it's going to run about 18 months.

Paint Videos
Three days
ago Tristan and I taped two great videos about two paint products I'll bet you don't know about.
One of them is a spray paint that outperforms the top two brands you're familiar with. Let me tell you, advertising works. You probably feel the one big brand is awesome.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA
Wait until you see the actual TEST PANELS I had in my hands from the TEST LAB!!!
When you see my video and you see the actual lab test panels, you'll NEVER AGAIN BUY that one big brand.
I'll be SHOCKED if you don't run out and immediately buy a can or two
of the paint I used in the video.
I'm also going to show you a fantastic interior wall paint that's a dream to work with and it costs MUCH LESS than all the national brands.
I'm waiting for the company to approve the videos. Once they do, you're going to see them.
If all
goes well, I'm going to have an exclusive coupon or promo code for you to save some sweet moola.
