Driveway Project Journal Complete August 21, 2020
The Driveway Project is complete! Finally! Woo Hoo!!!!
Since I last reported on the Driveway Project the progress, I completed Phase 2. I put border walls on the side of the driveway. Most of the work was completed a couple of weekends ago (thanks to Eric and Ian Tisler). I used the extra 6 X 4 pieces of wood to give the upper border some extra height. Late last week Lowes finally came and picked up the leftover wood,
Once we completed installing the border walls, I ordered the gravel. They delivered the gravel on Thursday. Eric and Ian came over on Friday morning and helped spread the gravel, completing the Driveway Project. Thanks, guys.
P.B.S. Studios Website Upgrade
Between the Covid-19 virus keeping me home and with all the rain keeping me indoors, I have been busy upgrading my website. The new version uses images as links to a different area of the website. It’s still a work in progress. I have more changes coming soon. The home page and the photography and digital painting header pages are now image-based. Go to www.pbsstudios.com. Please take a look and let me know what you think.
John Garrison RIP
On a sad note, Linda’s sister’s husband, John Garrison, passed away this past week. He was 83 years old, so it was not a total surprise. Like me, he was a northerner who married into a southern family (from North Carolina), but he was the sweetest person. I’m going to miss him!
Open for Business
A new division of P.B.S. Studios is now available. As I said in an earlier journal entry, this summer, I have been taking a couple of online courses through AWAI. I’ve completed the Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Web Content, and Case Study courses and now in the middle of the copywriting course. The Case Study course I realized is very similar to feature writing. The most significant difference is that you’re profiling a company process. With more than 100 articles published in newspapers, magazines, and online publications, I’m looking to help clients who need help with their websites. I can help write content, create case studies, edit testimonials, and help optimize their content to improve their customer experience and (hopefully) improve their search engine ranking.
Although my number one job during my retirement is taking care of Linda, I hope to find some freelance work to supplement my retirement income.
