Busy day

As some of you may have read, I'm trying to help my brother in law as he struggles with cancer by keeping his business running. He owns a company called NorthCoast Mobility where he sells and installs Acorn Stairlifts. I do sales calls on Friday afternoons and evenings and then do the installs over the weekend. It's not that big of a deal except that his illness came on very quickly so he never got to train me on cutting and preparing the rails for different length stairs and we never got to do an install.

 

Here is a picture of my first install. Did it this morning and then two more after this one. So three in one day isn't too bad for somebody who had never done it before. Not that difficult to do but a little time-consuming. It took me about an hour to cut and prepare each one before going to the install sites. By the third one, I had learned a few little tricks that made it go faster. I think that I am getting to the point where I can do the onsite install in 1 to 1 1/2 hours. I sold these three last week. Now I just need to sell some more.

 

So here is a picture of my first install. After doing 3 of these today, I feel like I need to install one in my own house so that I can get to my bed.

Don,

 

You have to be one of the nicest people in this world.

 

By the way, was the Christmas rat run over by an Acorn?

By the way, if anybody knows of someone in the Ohio area that needs a stairlift, I have also redone and taken over the website. They can contact me there.

Don first I would like to Thank you for what you are doing for your brother. I know he appreciates what you are doing and prayers sent for a full recovery of that dreadful disease.

Wow! That's awesome what you are doing for your brother-in-law! :clap2:

Nice job on the install. Your assistant Eileen probably does the bulk of the work. You are awesome for all you're doing for your BIL. How far will you travel to install the lifts? They look like nice units.

I don't know how far I would go. My general rule of thumb is about a 100 mile radius. To be honest though, I travel so much that I could probably work them in further in some cases if the customer would be OK with me installing in the evening. As for Eileen, she would sure like to help but there just isn't much that she could do. Besides, she pretty much has her plate full taking care of doctors appointments and other stuff.

God bless you, Don and God bless your brother in law. Prayers up for his recovery.
