Charlie has been found. He made his way about 5 doors down the street. Now he is home. Thank you to Nana for finding him and thank you to the neighbors who  found him before that.

Our dog took off today and we need everyone's help to find him. If you know what Charlie looks like, great! If not, he's a 5 yr. old full blood 15in. beagle, white, red and brown with a 3-4" white stripe across his back and tattoo markings inside his ears. If you can help or find him please let us know.

Latest Garage Project

This week is going to be busy, especially since I'm starting this project on a Wednesday! Tonight, I purchased the materials to build 3 new storage shelf sections to get my tools organized and get a lot of other stuff off of the floor and out of the way. Another reason is because we'd like to get this house sold, and this project all together will help a ton. I am also going to paint the space and I need to do some repairs on the ceiling. I am also adding 8 4' fluorescent light fixtures hoping to help us see better. Anything will be better than the 3 single light bulbs we have in there now.

The shelves I am building are from a project in the September 2010 issue of The Family Handyman. All of the materials for a total of 24' of 7' tall by 2' deep shelves ran approximately $150.00. The materials for each 8' section consist of 8 2"x4"x8 for uprights, 8 2"x2"x8' for shelf braces run horizontally, 2 sheets of 4'x8'x3/4" plywood or OSB, I opted for OSB since it was still strong but less expensive. You'll also need screws in 1-1/2", 2-1/2" and 5". The 5" screws to screw the shelves to the wall seem to be hard to come by for me, I looked everywhere and didn't find them. So I got 3-1/2" screws and will either use L brackets or some other method to tie into the wall. I'm sure these shelves wont move when loaded, but you can never be too safe.

So, if anyone wants info on this project as I go along, please ask away!

2011 Ford Fiesta

So, I'm looking at a new or new to me car for work that will be good on gas. I'm really starting to like the new 2011 Ford Fiesta. The styling is great and NOTHING like the Fiesta of the '80s.

Now Scheduling for Automotive Photo Shoots

I'm currently scheduling automotive photo shoots for the summer and early fall of 2010, and spring 2011. This can be individuals, clubs, shows and other events. For individual and club sessions, I will take about 50 photos of your vehicle(s) and provide you with a 8"x10" print of your favorite image starting at $25.00 for the session and print. After the photo shoot, we will either mail or hand deliver your print, depending on location. If you see other pictures you would like printed, up to a 13"x19", we can print them for you. And for shows and events, we will try to take at least one picture per vehicle, for $100 an event. After the event, we will provide you a CD or DVD of all unedited images for $50.

Ideal times to schedule a shoot will be within about an hour of sunrise, or about 2 hours during sunset. Also, any overcast day will be OK, but clear days are preferred. We can suggest a location, or you may choose anywhere in the Dayton area. We are on the Montgomery/Warren/Greene county borders in south Dayton, so you know where we would be coming from.

We will be attending the Bellbrook Lions Club Festival Car Show on 08/21/2010 so you can schedule or talk with us then. Contact us at photo@jgmconst.com if interested.
