Long time, no talk. Hi folks!

[John Pollman]

I haven't been here in ages, but I wanted to stop in and say hi. I haven't been doing much lately. I've been missing my shop because a year ago, my stairlift broke. I looked around for another used one and found one. But, it turned out that it wasn't going to be possible for me to install it like I did the first one. After trying it for a bit, I contacted the original installer from the tag on the unit. They wouldn't touch it. They were the only distributor in the state. After more searching, I found the same result. After sitting there for months, I got back into it. After more screwing around and hair-pulling, I made the decision to bite the bullet and have a brand-new one installed. So, Tuesday morning. they showed up and in about two hours, it was ready to go. It's awesome! It cost a pretty penny, but it has a lifetime warranty. When I looked at Acorn, the warranty was 12 months, and Bruno, only 24. I went with Leaf Home Safety. I feel better spending more money on a company that stands behind its product.
Now that I have access to my shop, I can't wait to get busy. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you!

Sounds like a frustrating time with the stair lift John, glad you were able to get one installed. Enjoy the holidays and looking forward to seeing some posts again.

Sometimes ya just gotta bite the bullet. Glad you have a new lift and can get back into the shop, John.

Good to hear from you John. Good deal on getting the lift running again. Looking forward to see what you can get going in the shop.

Good to see you drop by, John. Don't let a lack of woodworking prevent you from hanging around here, even if it's just to visit.

John, good to see you posting. Somethings just need to be purchased new to get consistent use from them. Had a neighbor that only bought garage door openers at yard sales. He always wondered why he was changing them out so much! He asked me if I ever had to change mine. Said, "nope, not since I bought this place" (I don't have openers on my two garage doors). Have a great Christmas!
