December 20, 2007 It is hard to believe that 2007 is almost at an end. It has been an unusual year for us with many changes and we are happy to share with you some of our exciting progress. Michigan continues to give us challenges with the struggling economy but we have been blessed with custom work. We have just wrapped up one home and have 2 more in process, along with several other people we are at various stages of discussion on projects. We are looking forward to a strong year here in 2008. In addition to our custom work in Michigan, we have made the decision to expand into the Raleigh-Durham area of North Carolina. Rick has made many trips between the two states this year and successfully completed the steps to obtain his NC builders license in June. We have spent time learning the area and getting our business established there. Our North Carolina information is: Andres Brothers Construction LLC, PO Box 3278, Cary NC 27519. Our local North Carolina telephone number is 919 720-2959. We broke ground this week on our first project. Since we are not established and well known in North Carolina as of yet, we have begun our building there with a spec home. This property is located in Apex and we are very excited about the home that is going in there. This home is listed by our Realtor and contact for the area, Don Edwards with Realty Executives, Cary. Details and Dons telephone number are shown on our Homes for Sale page. Rick will be spending a good amount of time commuting in January as that project takes off. Happy Holidays and we send you our wishes for a safe and healthy New Year!
