I have a friend who just took delivery on one of the Astronomics special 8" SCT w/EQ5 mount deals. Of course, he wants to play with it this weekend. I've looked on the web and, unlike Celestron's site, I can't find anywhere a pdf manual for the EQ5. I should add that I can't get over to his place to make a copy until Saturday, and I'd rather do a read through before then since I only know NexStar.
Does anybody have a suggestion on where I could look?
Any help appreciated.
EQ5-Pro Go To Mount Manual? Help?

Manuel is a hardworking gentleman who has plenty of drive to succeed. He currently grows bananas in a place near his home. Bananas are one of the fruits that are among the most widely grown in the region. Manuel started this business five years ago so that he could take advantage of the land he acquired near his home. This business enables him to generate a better income so that he can support his wife and six children who help him with his work.
Manuel is requesting a loan of 7,000 GTQ so that he can cultivate more banana plants on his land and later harvest the fruit to sell. As a result, he will have more income in the future. He plans to provide the education for his remaining children so that they can finish their current levels and higher.

I have noticed that my power steering is progressively starting to go over the last week. When I turn left or right it's real hard as I come off the center point, then it will break free, then get hard again. It will also get stuck in the turn, not allowing the wheel to straighten out coming out of a turn. it makes for a real choppy ride. Once everything warms up it seems to go away a little bit but I can still feel it. Engine RPM does not seem to play a factor whether it is hard to steer or not (I have put gotten up to speed, put it in neutral, brought it up to 2500 RPM and tried turning and it is still stiff.) I don't know if that is an official method of diagnosing if the pump is bad or not, but that is my problem...I don't know if it is my power steering pump or my rack and pinion.

I am having the same damn problem with mine now... any help would be great
COMMENT by dtexas992010 , April 03, 2010
Are you saying it may be the sensor IF the steering is bad, and it is tripping codes? OR are you saying the vehicle will throw codes saying it is a power steering problem?
ANSWER by Visitor , April 04, 2010
I'd go with a rebuilt steering rack assembly. Hard turns mainly in one direction is a direct indication that the spool valve teflon seals and/or the spool valve housing itself is worn allowing fluid to pass by the seals. The spool valve is where the steering wheel/steering shaft coupling is located on the steering rack assembly. Below the spool valve, internally, is where the pinion gear of the "rack and pinion" steering gear is housed.
ANSWER by Visitor , April 03, 2010
Its your pump starting to go out. Your rack probably isn't in the best of shape but should be fine with a new pump, and fluid flush. If it is tripping any engine codes relative to this, then it is the Power Steering Pressure Sensor malfunctioning.
ANSWER by Visitor , April 04, 2010
the steering sensor will only throw a code indicating there's a pressure problem. The steering rack is where the problem lies.
ANSWER by rockbluff , October 30, 2010
Having the same problems with our 2004 Dakota. Call the**** 1-800-992-1997***** Dodge complaint line. there's no recall for the 2004 yet but if enough people call and complain there will be. Also save all your receits- if they do a recall you can be reimbursed for money spent on repairs. Also both my 2001 and 2004 Dakotas had a problem with the air-conditioning flooding the passenger side floor - which when I called the above number Dodge took care of . There is a problem under the dash and by the fender SOoooo if you have this problem make sure they check both. I had to takle the 2004 in 2x.
ANSWER by Crico , March 01, 2015
Easy way to diagnose if the intermediate shaft is causing the problem is to spray the joints on the shaft with a lot of penetrating lube/PB Blaster. Start the truck and run the steering through complete cycles left and right. Continue to spray the joints and if the shaft is bad, the steering will get easier thus telling us the joints/ intermediate shaft is NG. I have a 2004 Dakota 4x4, 92k. Replaced under warranty @ 35k and now it is junk again!
ANSWER by mechtech07 , January 05, 2015
chances are your real problem is what they call the intermidiate shaft is binding at those small u-joints on the end

Councils 'Paying Supplements' to Attract Key Social Workers
SOME councils are acting as if they were the Manchester City FC of the local government world by paying premium rates to poach key workers, it has been claimed.
Now a Tory councillor is calling on the Assembly Government to insist on a level playing field by banning the practice.
Peter Davies, the Cabinet member for resources at Newport City Council, is particularly concerned by local authorities outbidding each other when employing social workers.
He said: "I think it is unacceptable that what amounts to an artificial market is being created for social workers.
"Some local authorities are paying higher salaries than others, leading to a situation where officers are asking for 'market supplements' to be added to the nationally-negotiated rates of pay when social workers are recruited.
"At a time when money is very tight, and when taxpayers working in the private sector are losing their jobs or having their pay frozen or cut, I find this unedifying.
"This kind of thing is also affecting other council departments like legal services and planning, but in those cases local authorities are sometimes competing for employees with the private sector.
"Social workers are, with very few exceptions, employed by local authorities, and it is ridiculous for councils to be in a bidding war to recruit them.
"I believe the Assembly Government should intervene to stop this happening and protect the interests of taxpayers."
An Assembly Government spokeswoman said: "All local authorities work to national terms of service and are processing local single-status agreements.
"Where market supplements are being paid by local authorities, this is a matter for the Welsh Local Government Association as the employers' organisation rather than the Assembly Government. …

Former social worker who filed false reports charged with violating state ethics code
Like us on fb
FRANKFORT, KY. — The state Executive Branch Ethics Commission on Monday charged former social worker Margaret "Geri" Murphy with violating state government's ethics code by falsifying reports on child abuse and neglect.
In May, Murphy, 61, of Lawrenceburg, pleaded guilty in Anderson Circuit Court to nine felony counts of tampering with public records. She is scheduled to be sentenced on July 24.
Monday's ethics charge, like the criminal charges, said that between April of 2006 and October of 2010 Murphy filed false reports and falsely reported she performed investigations of child abuse she had not performed. She resigned as a social worker in December of 2010.
If it finds Murphy guilty of the ethics charge, the ethics commission could fine her up to $5,000.
Also Monday the commission found former Tourism Commissioner Mike Cooper guilty of violating the ethics code and fined him $2,000.
In May the commission charged Cooper with using his state office for personal financial gain.
On Monday the commission agreed to a settlement in which Cooper admitted he violated the ethics code and agreed to pay the fine.
The ethics charge alleged Cooper showed an "overall failure" to follow state rules dealing with travel and expenses.
Specifically, the commission said Cooper allowed a public relations contractor hired to promote Kentucky tourism in the United Kingdom to pay $735 in meals and other expenses for him during a trip to London in 2011.
Cooper later approved state payments to reimburse the public relations contractor for his expenses during the London stop, which was not authorized by his superiors in state government.Cooper has since repaid the $735 to the state. He resigned as tourism commissioner in February.

This review is from: USB 56K Fax Voice Data External Modem Dual Port
Pros: I only bought this because I like to run a caller ID/zapper on my PC (Phone Tray free, which evidently became unavailable a couple of days ago), and most new PC's don't ship with a dial-up modem anymore, a prerequisite. This device seems to fill the need. Plugged the line in and the phone line to the two ports, and everything worked fine. I haven't installed the software yet, but whatever other tricks it does are just icing on the cake. Again, for what it's worth.
Cons: none, yet

Hi, first I must say thanks for this really great plugin! It has saved me from many hours of work.
Now to the question:
Im setting up a page that shows all of my clients resellers based on which city/area they are in. For this I use the select-field (dropdown), where the client can add which city the new reseller is in. Now really to the question. Is there a way to loop out all of the options in that select-field so I can use them as hyperlinks to show the resellers? I need this to be done even if there is no post with one of the options attached to it.
For example:
Reseller A is located in PComputer City
Reseller B is located in The Big Apple
The select-field holds:
PComputer City
The Big Apple
So, what i need is to get all three options out of the selection, even though theres no post/attachment to Stockholm. This might be supersimple but I havn't found any solution without digging in to the core. Any ideas?

Home Closing Costs…it's time to call BS!
For anyone who has done a little research into the Millennial population, one thing you have learned is that the cohort asks a lot of questions about the way things have always been done. And, for anyone who reads a lot of media, there are all sorts of opinions about how the Boomers view this generation at work, at school, and so on. Some folks (like me) support our younger colleagues and also realize they are not so young anymore (born 1981 and later). Others find the younger set to be entitled, whiny, and lazy. Whichever view you ascribe to, we must realize that some of the questions they ask may benefit the entire population, regardless of age. I find myself taking a lesson from this group (Im an Xer) and asking more questions about traditional and cultural processes as of late. My most recent beef comes with the closing costs associated with buying a home.
A few weeks ago I looked into buying a small property, and for maths sake lets say it was 100K. After working with my lender it appeared the closing costs would be about 3K. For what? What do I get out of that 3K? So, I carefully went over the list of things associated with the home closing. I also compared the list to things associated with my other home which closed in 2006. You know whats changed? Virtually nothing. With the market crash, the bank issues, and government regulations, virtually nothing about closing costs works in the favor of saving the client money (some things protect the client like insurance and title coverageI get that). For the purpose of this article, and in true Millennial fashion I want to bring to light the archaic nature and shameless cash-cow of the home closing scam. To do this, I want to highlight four specific line-items from the home closing that we must stand up and callBS.
The first is the recording feewhat is this? Of course I had to Google-it. It appears it is to record the original cost and record of ownership. In my list it costs 205 dollars to do this. 205 dollars to make a note!? The next item is the courier feehad to Google that one too since it seemed so, I dont know, 1990. Sure thing it is the cost associated with transporting documents. The next one Ive always hated is the doc stamp tax which according to Google is levied in Florida at .70 cents per every 100 dollars to record the transfer of interest in Florida real property. Finally, what the hell is a Florida Form 9 and why is it 216 dollars? Again, according to Google its an endorsement to a Florida title insurance policy that protects a lender against any loss which may occur from four main categories. Hmmm.so here we have 820 dollars in stuff that seems like it is stuck in 1965. Also, dont forget a lot of the things associated with closing get more expensive the more expensive the property gets, regardless of the fact that the same thing is still taking placeseems legit right?
For starters, why cant all of this be done online for free? It is 2014 why are we paying for a recording fee? Digitize everything and make this cheap. Courier fees? Amazon Prime is 70 dollars for the year and I get all the 2-day free shipping I want on real items that appear at my doorstep. 50 dollars for some Fedex of papers that come from trees is stupid. The doc stamp tax? Didnt the recording fee take care of that? Why is there so much duplication in this process? Why cant it be as official as applying for a marriage licenseone and done? Finally, that pesky form 9 seems a little redundant since the title company already vetted your housewhy dont they take that safety measure up with the bank that paid for your house? Makes sense to me.
Heres how I see it and this might be mighty Millennial of me. Popular attitudes are changing. Owning a home is no longer the American dream, its a pain in the ass. All of these closing fees are more a right-of-passage and a form of hazing in a process that used to be so amazing and so official. No one under the age of 40 is going to sit in a home for 30 years anymore hoping to one day pay it off and give it to their kin. I wish we would just call a spade a spade and treat home buying more like car buying. Think about that for a second. The last time I was car shopping, the dealer was more than happy to sit down and finance me a 70K car (of which I cant afford) all in one day. Good creditcheck, down paymentcheck, dealer fees and license taxescheck. Out the door in one daynone of this long, painful, tiresome, redundant, and questionable closing process hazing.
So, Im sure theres someone out there who would say I dont know what Im talking aboutand they may actually be right. But the impetus of the Millennials is to ask the questions, not answer them; and in fact, if I am far off-base why are closing costs clouded in a shroud of mystery? Why did I have to Google so many things just for this article? NoI think it is time to call BS on the closing process. If we really want the market to re-surge for the real people (not the investors), we need to make these closing costs more reasonable. My solution is to treat the process in 2014 termsand to make it more like buying a car. The good thing about cars is when they start to break down you can get fed-up and drive them into the Hillsborough Rivergood luck trying that with your cozy 2/2 with off-street parking. But, I digressI did want that house!

Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
I've known quite a few Ashleys in my time, but none of them would be up for the kind of naughty things you'll see on this site. I checked out this blonde hottie's page expecting to find some sweet solo masturbation as well as the odd blowjob. However, she surprised me by going hardcore. I guess being full of surprises - as well as down for doggy style - is simply Pure Ashley.
She doesn't have a bio, so the history behind this tight-bodied chick is a bit of a mystery. Even her blog, which is updated frequently, sticks to her experiences during the photo and video shoots and tells you about what's coming next on PureAshley. Some of you might expect a solo-model site to be a little more personal, but maybe you'll be intrigued by the mystery instead.
What's no secret, however, is the relatively scant amount of porn you'll find here. There are just 13 videos, but Ashley definitely packs a lot into all of them. You'll see everything from a naked yoga routine and fully clothed masturbation on a couch to raunchier content like footjobs and fucking.
You can stream them in Flash or save them as Windows Media files with your choice of playback. I did notice that clicking on "hi-res" means you are actually downloading the lower-quality format, while you have to click on "lo-res" to get the better option. I hope that little glitch gets fixed soon, because it makes it difficult to get at the good-quality movies.
Some of the same scenes are also available in an iPhone-ready format if you check out the mobile section, which is great, because Ashley would be the perfect companion for any long bus ride or slow lunch break. She's also adding a new video every week.
At first I thought there were no photos, because I could never seem to click on the "see photos" link that comes with each episode. Then I realized that it doesn't matter that you are always given this option, because if an update has "video" in the title, then there are no pics and if it has "photo," then there are no vids. That's confusing, Ashley, but at least there are four photo sets with high-res pics.
Ashley does a weekly webcam show and, along with the blog and mobile vids I mentioned, those are all the bonuses she comes with. This chick has the looks and the skills, but she'll have to add more smut and personal information before Pure Ashley can earn a high recommendation.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

The Council for Exceptional Children's Position on Special Education Teacher Evaluation
In recent years, school reform efforts have increasingly focused on ways to evaluate and improve teacher performance. This is in part a response to recent research demonstrating that teachers are the most important school-based factor in determining student achievement (Goldhaber, 2010; Hanushek, 1998; Rice-King, 2003). But, just as research has confirmed the importance of teachers, several studies of teacher evaluation systems- the primary method of judging how teachers perform- have found that, more often than not, these systems fail to differentiate between effective and ineffective teachers, are unrelated to professional development, and do not incorporate information about teacher impact on student performance (Weisberg, Sexton, Mulhern, & Keeling, 2009).
This research, coupled with new federal incentives, led federal and state policy makers to shift their focus in the area of teacher quality. Specifically, policies have shifted from considering whether teachers meet predetermined professional requirements, such as degrees attained, an approach embodied by the No Child Left Behind Act's "Highly Qualified" standard, to methods that incorporate performancebased measures (Holdheide, Goe, Croft, & Reschly, 2010). New policies refer to performance-based measures generally as "effectiveness" and involve redesigning and/or developing teacher evaluations.
Since 2009, CEC has worked with members and experts in the field to examine how new teacher evaluation systems impact special and gifted education teachers. In 2009, CEC convened an expert advisory group to consider the current state of teacher evaluation and the implications of new "pay for performance" systems. CEC incorporated its initial recommendations about teacher evaluation systems into CEC's ESEA Reauthorization Recommendations.
In 2012, CEC again reached out to members and experts, and based on their input drafted the following Position on Special Education Teacher Evaluation. To ensure the Position met the specific needs of special education teachers, CEC solicited feedback directly from its members through its Representative Assembly, Convention Town Halls, Children and Youth Action Network (CAN) and online. CEC also collaborated with a panel of close to 40 education and policy experts who identified research, policy and practice regarding the current state of special education teacher evaluation and identified challenges and recommendations for the field. Finally, CEC's Board approved the Position on Special Education Teacher Evaluation in October of 2012. We hope you read the Position, share it with colleagues, and let us know what you think.
The Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) recognizes the importance of special education teachers in the education of all children and youth. Special educators have always believed that children's individual learning needs should drive instruction; indeed, pedagogy is the heart of special education practice. One way to judge a special education teacher's knowledge and skill is through a thorough and valid teacher evaluation. High-quality evaluations that are rigorous, systematic, and developed collaboratively with special education teachers drive continuous improvement and excellence. The principles of good evaluation apply to all teachers. Thus, all teachers should be included in one evaluation system that is appropriately differentiated based on their professional role.
CEC believes that special education teacher evaluations are only effective if they are based on an accurate understanding of special education teachers' diverse roles, measure and support the effective use of evidence-based interventions and practices, include accurate and reliable indicators of special education teacher contributions to student growth, and promote teaching as a profession in order to address the persistent problem of special education teacher retention.
To provide the individualized, appropriate supports and services that children and youth with exceptionalities need, special education teachers deliver instruction in many different ways and through many approaches. …

Hey, I wanted to let you know
how pleased I am with the new shed!!
Your driver was putting on a
show when he delivered it!
My cousin and I were in
amazement when he was maneuvering it to its final spot.
He was amazing, just like the quality
of the work on the shed!
I will be recommending you
Junior - I cannot thank you and
your team enough for such a pleasurable experience. Your patience as I
went through the decision process was so great. Josh and Ben arrived
early this morning to prepare the site and Paul showed up mid-morning ready to
set my new shed on the new foundation. They were so incredibly nice and
accommodating. Paul even had to cut a branch out of my tree to get the
cupola and wind mill up. The entire experience was so pain free and
pleasant. I will highly recommend you to anyone looking for a shed and
can't wait until the next time my wife and I are in the area, so we can stop in
and meet and thank you in person.
Thanks again!
Peter, you were extremely helpful, knowledgeable and provided
prompt answers to my questions. This, no doubt, increased my comfort
level with Stoltzfus and aided my decision-making process.
Jake and his cousin Jamie were a pleasure to meet and I couldn't
believe how quickly they were able to work and get the site-work on my property
done efficiently and proficiently.
The shed was delivered on time and was EXACTLY what we wanted our
shed to be functionally and aesthetically.
We couldn't be any prouder of our new shed sitting on our
Thank you for your hard work, excellent customer service and
wonderful workmanship!
Best Regards,
of all, I am sorry that I did not write this note immediately after the
installation of our shed last fall - when John, Leroy, Samuel and Daniel
installed our custom 8x12 Garden Shed right on schedule! They did a fine
job, were very easy to work with and extremely accommodating. And, the
shed looks great! You know, I was a little leery about buying a shed
through the Internet "sight-unseen" as my wife and I had not seen one
of your sheds first hand. What made me more concerned was that you had
the lowest price - by far! Well, you delivered everything as promised.
you know, my wife and I had a detailed list of options and requirements.
I am still trying to figure out how you can deliver such a custom high
quality product at such a reasonable and cost competitive price. Why
would someone even look at a stock wood shed at a big box store when they can
get a custom product for the same price or less?
you for all your time and effort and please thank the guys for us. Your
timely and professional service and answers to all of our questions was one of
the main reasons we decided on My
Shed's/Stoltzfus Structures.

Good Morning Mark,
I want to let you know that
Abner and crew were very professional and did a great job on the shed.
They were here bright and early (which I appreciate) and got right to
work. They also left the job site clean which I appreciated. The shed
details are clean and has a very nice finished look. I am very happy with
the shed and the overall job. Of course, I will be looking for that first
good rain to do the "leak check� but don�t expect any issues. I would be
very comfortable to recommend your company if asked.
Thank you,
Good morning Mark.
The shed looks great! The crew did a great job setting it
up, making sure everything was properly aligned, paint touch ups and final
cleanup. Combined with the excellent work on the gravel base I am very happy
with the job and your product. It was a pleasure doing business with you and
your staff. Everyone has been very friendly and attentive. Thank you.

A VERY happy client,
Stephanie & Patrick Dolan
just recently had a 12x24 garage shed built and delivered. Stoltzfus Structures
made the entire process easy and fun! We got to walk through several already
existing garage sheds in their lot to get an idea of layout, and worked with
Peter to finalize our design. He even had us bring our motorcycles up to see
how they would fit in a similar size garage so we could figure out the best
placement for the garage door in relation to our driveway and where we thought
we'd place it. We changed the design once during the process, no sweat! He got
us set up with John who did measurements on the pad and coordinated our pad
construction. Peter answered questions that made getting our permit easy. The
pad was done in less than one business day, he came right on time, and the pad
looks fantastic. When the garage shed was delivered (also on time, maybe even a
few minute early!), it was amazing to see the operation to get it from the
truck to the pad. Fast, and it was just one person who moved it and another
person to direct traffic around the truck! The garage shed looks fantastic, we
were able to choose from a wide selection of paint, trim and shingle colors so
we could match it as closely as possible to the house. We only had one issue
about a week later the first time we opened the side door since it was placed,
it was sticking because the garage shed settled a little bit. We called this AM
and they are at the house right now lifting up one corner of the garage shed so
the door doesn't stick!! Excellent customer service, excellent installation,
price is spot on (we did a lot of comparison shopping), and a high quality

Hi Junior,
Wow our shed is so amazing.
Even more wonderful is the customer service we had from Junior to the delivery
driver to the crew who finished off the job. You had tons of patience and were
very helpful in the designing phase. Everyone was cheerful and pleasant and
helpful. No complaints even when there was unexpected work to do. I will
certainly recommend you to neighbors and friends. Of course the biggest
advertisement is the beautiful shed itself. Best of luck to you and your whole

Hi Peter!
The shed is perfect. I was a little nervous about the
Tan siding (since we didn't get to see it in person) but it is a perfect match
to our home siding...Same for the shingles! I was also very impressed
with the flooring, definitely top-quality material and better than standard
plywood. I couldn't be happier with the shed, finally have been able to
reclaim my garage. Moses was a great delivery driver, he was fast and
thorough and had it placed dead-center on the first attempt. My wife
showed some colleagues at work what we had purchased, and I believe two of her
coworkers have recently placed orders with Stoltzfus Structures.
Thanks again for working with us to get the 10x14. I
am happy we went with the larger size.

Hi Jonathan,
I saw the Hywall Elite you delivered to our property for my dad yesterday,
It is beautiful. Thanks again.

Hywall Elite
The new garage is awesome! I'm just about finished
putting everything in it! The guy who delivered it could not have been
any nicer or more helpful - and it was entirely incredible how he got it off
the truck, up my driveway and perfectly in place! My husband has made
several comments about how much he likes it and what a great job ya'll
Phillip just left a little while ago. Mark, you have
been an absolute joy to work with, even with all my phone calls, emails, and
going around and around with the insurance company! Thank you so much for
your effort, incredible patience, and a true servants heart! Even with
the mess left originally on the old shed, ALL of the fellows working here have
been pleasant, watched their mouths, and were very helpful when I asked any
questions! Jonathan, thank you for stepping up to me and all my 'issues'
with getting the final parts put together when Mark went on vacation, and on
the schedule. I appreciate everything you did immensely! It's hard when
you have to get that last little bit done and you were fantastic!
All in all, everything is and was great. My son & his
family are looking for their own home, and has already told me not to lose
ya'lls information! He wants a shed like mine! Thank you so, so

Janene and I are 100% satisfied. I am not someone who
would gush over anything let alone something as rudimentary as a shed but it
exceeded my expectations (and is much bigger than I visualized). It is by
and far the nicest item I have ever purchased sight unseen with a good price
and fast delivery. I based it only on a picture and it was exactly as
described. I missed the delivery but Janene was there to manage it and
she sent pictures. A small hiccup with the gate being 18" too
small. I advised that the post be cut. Once it was cut and a
section of the fence removed, the drop was easy. The yard did not
get torn up and I reinstalled the fence a day or so later. If anyone
is looking for ashed, I will be sure to send them your way.
Hi John,
I just
had to write to thank you and your crew for the beautiful garage. We are
thrilled with it. Jim is showing it to all his friends in construction
and they can�t get over the beautiful workmanship and quality materials that
are in the garage. From the friendly ordering experience, to the way the
garage was carefully placed just where we wanted it, to the work crew who were
so hard working, polite and neat, this was a great experience from beginning to
end. We can�t recommend you high enough. Please extend our
gratitude to the rest of the crew.
Thanks so much, Mary Bajda
Hi Mark,
The new shed looks terrific-and has gotten compliments from everyone who has
seen it. Your crew was great. I asked them to try not to walk
on my neighbor yard as much as possible and they didn't touch her yard.
They did want they came to do without any messing around and were done in
no time. I am very pleased and will be recommending you (already have) to
Thanks for you patience with all the delays on delivery.

We are extremely pleased with our new shed. It arrived
on schedule and was assembled in a matter of hours. The three-man crew was
outstanding and they catered to my every need. The materials were all
first class and the finished shed was all we hoped for. Our earlier trip
to your plant in Atglen was very impressive and gave us confidence that our
order would behigh quality. Thank you all for a favorable result.
Ronald Davis, 8x12 Wilmington DE
My modified A-Frame boat shed is in place and gear installed. I
couldn�t be happier with the quality and look of the shed. Many
thanks to Heidi for courteously handling all my questions and to Jonathan
for modifying the stock design and drawing multiple sets of plans to
accommodate our county zoning requirements. Customer service may be a
dying art, but it is alive and well at Stoltzfus!
I might also say that I was prepared to buy a stick kit or wall kit from
other vendors, but in reviewing the construction standards, I realized that
your sheds were of significantly higher quality than theirs, and your
prices were competitive as well. An easy decision for me on paper at
the time, and from the outset every aspect of the transaction has proven
that decision correct. I appreciate that you use higher-grade plywood
for the floor, 16� framing, 2x4�s instead of 2x3�s throughout, and 30-year
architectural shingles. This thing is solid as a rock.
Thanks also for your willingness to reduce the height of the structure
to keep me in an A-frame building while meeting the county height
As you can see, I am using every inch of the wall height. Service
above and beyond.
Oh, and you may be hearing from one of my neighbors soon...
Thanks again, Jonathan.
Good Morning John,
The shed is great.. I was talking to Chris R. this morning at our
Plymouth Meeting Asphalt Plant, (he is the plant Manager). He said that
the shed perfect.
Thank You again on another great shed, This is the 3RD one .
Love the pergola, haven't got to spend anytime in the barn as they
finished about 10:00 PM last night. It was a pleasure having your team
They were hard working and very detail oriented in their work.
Had a couple of neighbors stop by already... Hope you all get some
business from it!
Thank you,
Jeff Clark
I am very very happy with my new shed. That is not saying enough. The
workmanship is above par. I'm having a good time setting it up. I have
people stopping and looking at it and are very impress with it's looks.
Just so you know, I tell them where to buy one. Stoltzfus Structures. As
for your driver, JR was just great. He put the shed on the pad perfectly.
Once again I would like to thank you for everything.
Great job, guys!
Peter and Gale Brown
My experience with you and the Stoltzfus team has been a good
experience. Starting with Heidi,
Brittany, yourself and ending with Samuel, David, Ephraim and Steve.
Thanks again, Rob
As I was getting the drawings and materials costing together, I quickly
discovered that lumber and other needed items such as doors and windows
were very high in price. It was suggested that I look on line for a ready
built or kit shed and as I did this, I quickly discovered that most
purchased sheds were ready made "junk� and would not work out for me.
Louis V. Mozdzen
Stoltzfus met every promise they made. Their crew was excellent, they
were on time, brought all the materials they needed, and constructed the
garage in two days. Local people were amazed at the work ethic of the crew,
their ability to do quality construction quickly, and their consideration
for the neighborhood. The building is now 3-4 years old, has well weathered
our severe winters, and has received many favorable comments and visits. We
cannot be happier with the building, and with our good fortune to find
Stoltzfus Structures on line and the outcomes we have experienced in
working with them. We recommend Stoltzfus Structures without

I just wanted to send a quick message to say thanks to everyone involved
in making my dream garage a reality.
I believe I have the distinction of having the last Stoltzfus garage to
be erected in 2013 as your crew wrapped everything up at 4 pm on 12/31/13.
What a great way to end the year and to start 2014!
Although the process of selecting a garage and options started back in
mid September with a visit to your facility, I quickly ran into a multitude
of permit issues with my local jurisdiction that extended the actual permit
and site preparation process by several months. With each hurdle, you and
your staff were immediately available to revise or upgrade plans and
specifications on my garage to comply with my local codes.
With a delivery date that was rescheduled several times due to weather
and site access issues, I was beginning to wonder if I would see my garage
before Spring. I spoke with both you and your brother Dave as well as
Gideon, Heidi and Brittany on numerous occasions and each of you were
extremely accommodating in answering my questions and concerns and
ultimately rearranging the delivery date to find one with the best possible
window for decent weather.
My biggest Christmas present ever arrived on December 26th. Your
delivery driver Dan maneuvered the two sections of the 24x28 foot garage
onto the foundation like they were pieces of an 8x10 shed. An incredible
process to watch from how they sections are unloaded, transported down the
driveway, to finally being placed on the foundation.
The following morning and on Monday and Tuesday of the following week,
your crews arrived at first light to begin the task of finishing the
garage. Henry, Samuel, Eli, Dave, John and Paul are extremely gifted
craftsmen and what I found to be amazing is that even though some of the
crew members changed from day to day, there was no loss in the skill level
of the workers who were on-site each day. There was no task that each crew
member could not perform and they seamlessly transitioned from one task to
Again, thanks to all of the members of the Stoltzfus Structures family
and I look forward to using my garage for years to come.

Hi Brittany
My dream shed arrived in great shape!!
I was more then impressed by the fact that your driver unloaded and placed
my shed on the foundation by himself with the mule!! which by the way...
being a guy, I enjoyed watching the equipment he used to do this!!
I look forward to filling the space with all of my lawn and patio
It will be nice to actually park 2 cars in my garage!!
I know what I just said sounds strange, but I worked long and hard to
afford this, Your company provided me with the highest quality shed for the
Karl Shoemaker
Good Morning Jonathan,
The garage is beautiful!. It is sooooo big. We have lots
of space to do what we want. The crew was fabulous!. We are
telling everyone about your services. Thanks for sending the guys
back out to work on the overhead door (our fault). It is working
just fine now. We are so glad we took the time to investigate
your company further and take the ride up to your place to see
exactly what we would be getting.
If any one (a potential customer) wants to see our garage, just give
us a call.
It has been a pleasure doing business with you.
God Bless Your Day,
Gloria & Edward Johnson
We do really love it!
I love the new shed! It's got everything I was looking for, and looks
very nice!
Thank you again,
Charles Harden
The shed came out great. Everyone, from ordering to setting
up delivery to the delivery guys, were very helpful. The shed came right
time and I was given a heads up when they were close (which I always
appreciate). The delivery guys did an excellent job getting the shed into
very difficult spot. I don't think most shed delivery services could
completed the job. I will definitely recommend your company to friends
family as everything was timely, well-built, very fairly priced, and
customer service was great!
Brad Macleod
We love our shed and so do our neighbors. Per the attached photo, you
can see that it is a little version of our house. We painted the shed base
and have had the electrical connected. So, we are more than delighted.
Thanks so much,
Thank you John for following up.
We are very pleased! The shed is well built and the young man who
delivered it was professional and excellent at putting it right where we
wanted it with no problem and no yard damage. We've already told people who
have asked where we purchased the shed and that we are very pleased. It is
good to see that quality and great craftsmanship still exists.
Have a good day.
Kent Rowe
I want to tell you how pleased I am with the new shed. I was a bit
skeptical about purchasing it without seeing it first, but the quality,
detail and craftsmanship far exceeded my expectations. It came
exactly as ordered. I was also impressed with the delivery and
setting of the shed on my site. The Mule system was really
Hey Jonathan, I love my new garage! Thank you! I've been completely
happy with Stoltzfus Structures right from the beginning. Your
customer service and professionalism is second to none! As far as
the crew yesterday, young hard working skilled craftsmen who
handled themselves like complete professionals. I will recommend
your company with confidence to anyone I know looking for a
structure at a reasonable price!
Dear Jonathan,
Sincerely, Mary & Dante Perri
Hi Mark!
We love our new shed!! Your crew was wonderful and they did
an excellent job.
Thanks to all for your help!!
Jeff & Leanne
My husband and I just got our garage delivered from Stoltzfus
Structures. I cannot say enough good things about the entire
process. So easy to work with, making changes, always available and
always pleasant no matter who you talked to. Delivery was perfect
and the set up perfect, the 3 young men that completed our garage
were polite and pleasant, went about their work and were finished
in about 6 hours! So great to do business with this organization!
THANK YOU to Jonathan and your entire team!
Again thank you for the great job that your facility did. Just
outstanding quality!
Quality lumber, quality construction and great directions which
made the whole thing come together.
Jeff Cascino
Hi Jonathan!
Thank you so much. ..we love it!!! The crew was amazing and such
hard workers. It was a pleasure to have them here.
Thank you so much and it was a pleasure doing business with you
I just wanted to compliment everyone at Stoltzfus Structures for
my beautiful little shed and send you a picture of it at it's new
home. I really appreciate how Heidi & Brittany were so patient
with my many phone calls & questions, and how Dave &
Jonathan worked with me about the customization. It came delivered
exactly as we discussed and the way I pictured it in my head. I
can't remember the last time anyone I did business with achieved
that! The shed is incredibly well built and solid. The hardware is
also top quality and the paint appears to be very durable. Delivery
was amazing as well with the shed placed exactly where I wanted it
down to the inch. Thank you for a truly good product. In the
picture you can see I added a solar powered interior light which is
a really nice touch and a small sun decoration.
We absolutely love it! The guys were awesome. I will highly
recommend you and your company in the future to everyone that sees
my shed and asked about it.
Thank You
Hi Ben,
Just wanted to drop you a quick
appreciation note. The shed arrived to be
exactly what we had in mind. Superb in quality and exact to the
details. The actual delivery was a most pleasant experience as
well. The guy
you have doing the delivery was professional courteous and really
We would recommend anyone looking for a
quality shed at an affordable price
to head your way...
Hi Jonathan,
Again, very pleased. No question
we are satisfied. Also, we had offered some dinner to the
crew and they were very complimentary of the food which was
nice. We very much like the shed (or as I am trying to refer
to it, the "barn"!).
Many thanks for your help
Jonathan. It was a pleasure working with you and Stoltzfus
The shed is PERFECT! Tom was truly
amazing with the delivery. The location I wanted was not the
easiest place for him to place it, but he did it with a smile on
his face. A true professional.
The quality of the shed is more than
Thank you for your assistance and great
Bill Moulds, Alexandria VA
We LOVE the shed!!! Thank you for
everything! My kids are in there right now playing school. They
will miss having fun in there when we move all of the lawn
equipment into the shed! Perhaps we will contact you soon in the
hopes if having a playhouse for the kids built! Haha!
I somehow made a mistake by not
noticing the green shutters in the invoice. I asked Jonathan to
take them off and he said that we could come by and pick out
different shutters another day.
Again, my thanks for all you did! We
are so pleased with our new shed!
The delivery was perfect and I really
want to say thank you.
You and your company is top notch and I
would highly recommend to all.
Scott Leighton
North Haven, CT
I know this is REALLY late in coming,
but I definitely wanted to get out a note of appreciation to the
entire team at Stoltzfus to express our complete satisfaction with
the shed we had delivered recently.
We absolutely couldn't be any happier
with the finished product - it is so awesome-looking! It looks
great in our back yard, and it's the envy of our neighbors.
Thank you all so much for everything
Stoltzfus did to make this happen! It was especially great working
with you personally - the company is extremely fortunate to have
someone like you as their "face to the public" in the front office.
You were courteous, patient, and really helpful. Same goes for
everyone else with whom we interacted, from the others [Heidi] in
the office, to the folks [sorry, I don't have a name here]
scheduling the delivery, and on down to Abner, who actually showed
up with the shed. Talk about a really nice person to work with!
Abner had a really hard time with the delivery: it was a complex
set of moves & existing structures. But he couldn't have been
nicer, and he pulled it off!
On top of all that, Stoltzfus gave us
the absolutely best price of any dealers around - and believe me,
we did our homework before making the purchase. You guys were
accommodating in every way. We couldn't ask for anything more, and
there's absolutely nothing that we could suggest to improve your
operation. We are 110% satisfied - GREAT JOB!!
You can be sure that we're recommending
you to everyone.
Again, thank you all for
We are so happy with the service and
product that we wondered if you could send us some brochures as we
have people who are interested.
We couldn't be happier with our
decision to use Stoltzfus Structures and look forward to doing
business again!"
Thank you again, Jonathan. It has been
a pleasure working with you.
Installation was done quickly and very
professionally. We are very pleased with its appearance and I am
delighted with the interior's workbench, shelves and loft. Photos
Thanks again for your help with this
Hi Jonathan
The garage is absolutely AMAZING!
It looks so much better than expected...and I was expecting a
lot! Your crew could not have been better.
They worked like crazy. Extremely
efficient and talented beyond words. We tried to feed them and
hydrate them several times but they chose to work instead. I
haven't seen such incredible work ethic in a very long time and
especially from such a young group of men. You should be very
I can't recommend your business
enough. You have all been so helpful and patient with us
throughout this entire process. I can't imagine anyone ever
going anywhere else.
All the best to you and your entire
staff. We are forever grateful and will think of you everyday
as we pull up to our new garage.
Thank you, the shed looks great!
John Kratzinger
To let you know this is my second
shed purchase from your company and I can not say enough about the
quality and professionalism of your staff and delivery company. I
thank you for the shed and am very pleased with my purchase, will
definitely do business with your company again!!!!
I am extremely
pleased with the shed. EJ did a superb job placing it exactly where
I wanted. And Steve and the crew worked efficiently on a very cold
day to finish the job. I do not have a single complaint about the
end product. The wood grain on the vinyl-coated aluminum and on the
vinyl siding adds so much to the look of the shed. That custom
feature is something you should consider incorporating into the
Elite line. And Heidi was great dealing with me over the past two+
years - this has been a work in progress, interrupted by our local
township zoning board!
You can refer
any potential customer to me if they want to see my shed. I think
some of my neighbors will be contacting Stoltzfus Structures for
their sheds.
Attached is a final picture.
Best wishes,
Derek Zeller, Wynnwood PA
Hello Ben,
The shed looks great and thanks for customizing my ramp. It
worked perfect.
The delivery guy (I forget his name) was really a nice guy and
did a great job.
Thanks for everything. I will highly recommend you guys to
anybody that is looking for any type of structure.
-Tim Lewis
Shed is great. EJ did a super job placing
it in the exact spot. Sorry I have been slow to email a �thank-you�
but we were preparing for the storm. We came out okay - hope you
all did also.
Thanks again. It was a pleasure to
do business with you.
-Terry Tasker
I love the shed!!!!! Delivery was great. Please feel to use me as a
reference. I am totally satisfied and you made the entire process
very easy and were great to work with.
I checked it late last night and it weathered the storm and was
totally dry inside. I did not get a chance to check it this morning
as I had to be at work early but it looked fine.
Chad Tasker
As for the delivery, I was not here, my wife was here and she
said it went off without a hitch. She said the driver nice
but was all business and had the garage dropped and in place before
she could even give me a call to tell me it had arrived.
Thank you again very much,
I�m already enjoying the new garage space! The crew/young men
were very proficient in their work and demeanors. I�ve e-mailed
pictures to family overseas and they are impressed with the "little
house� we�ve built in the yard. Again, thank you for your talent
and efficiency in getting the job done.
Blessings to you and yours this Thanksgiving and Christmas
Having stopped by Stoltzfus Structures twice I was able to see
firsthand the significant level of production you have at your
facility. I am sure you must get testimonials all the time
based on the quality of the sheds Stoltzfus manufactures. Our
shed was delivered yesterday, and I wanted to thank you for your
exceptional customer service and also take the opportunity to thank
Stoltzfus Structures for such a high quality product at a very fair
price. I realized after we bought our shed that you are not
only getting a great product, you are supporting an organization
with great people who take pride in their products. I
appreciated you working with us as we often changed colors, styles
and sizes. You made this a very pleasurable experience. I
believe my brother stopped by to look at sheds yesterday and
I have already had several neighbors ask me about our shed. I will
gladly be send referrals to you and let others know about Stoltzfus
Tom Plefka
I wanted to express my sincere thanks to you and all of the
folks at Stoltzfus Structures for building my garage. I have to
admit that I was a bit apprehensive about dealing with a company in
another state on building a 24� X 36� building but I couldn�t be
more pleased with every aspect of the project. Manny, Dave,
Raymond, and Melvin put it together almost completely in one day
and the quality and workmanship was top notch. I used Jake from
Firm Foundations for the footers and slab and was equally pleased
with every bit of his work as well.
It was such a pleasant experience to see such hard working,
polite, well mannered, young men who clearly seem to enjoy what
they do. They never seemed to take any breaks and I had to convince
them to come inside for lunch the second day when I bought pizza
and insisted that they come in from the cold. I still can�t believe
that I was able to afford a garage this big that matches my house
perfectly and was built to such high standards. The only regret I
have is that I didn�t find out about you sooner. (That, and I wish
I had ordered the stairs and gutters)
Finally, I would like to thank you personally for everything
that you did from the first time that I called. You answered every
question, made some great suggestions, and were easy to work with
from start to finish. It is rare to find a company that is so
focused on delivering quality workmanship and great customer
service for such a reasonable price.
Please feel free to use me for a reference, and I�d be happy to
let prospective customers in the Silver Spring area take a look at
the great garage that you built. I'll send a picture as soon
as the driveway gets finished.
Rob Dejter, Silver Spring, MD
Thank all of you for doing such a great job on our garage. You
made everything run smoothly by accommodating our schedule; even
working with all of our delays and changes.
The garage looks great. Everyone worked with dedication and
superior craftsmanship and was pleasant to have around. All were
very professional and worked laboriously. Hopefully, with our cars
already garaged, my studio will be re-furnished soon. We built our
house and the garage ourselves so we know the work that goes into
such a project.
We felt comfortable and never worried for a minute if we had to
leave anyone here when we were unable to be. That in itself was a
great help in the aftermath of the frustration of the fire and
subsequent responsibilities.
We will definitely highly recommend �Stoltzfus Structures' to
anyone with no hesitation.
Thank you again for making our unexpected �experience� an easy
Fred and Patricia Dunn, Landenberg, PA
If you are considering a build like this (garage, carriage
house, pool house, whatever!), I highly recommend Stoltzfus. Even
though they're based in Eastern Pennsylvania, they work with
customers all across the country (and just recently finished a
project in California!). I feel like I need to disclose that
Stoltzfus is not paying me to write this, nor did they discount our
project-- I am just so honestly THRILLED with the service, I want
you to benefit as well! Ask for Jonathan and tell him that Kelly
sent you. ;)
I was very impressed with the efficiency of the construction
and I Love my garage!!
Rich Wambold
First off your crew was fantastic!
The delivery guys were great and it was not an easy one for them
but they took charge and made short work of it!
I totally enjoyed the finish crew. Matt is A great leader with
good business sense. They worked great as a team and took pride in
their work! I checked on them once or twice to see if they needed
anything and I was more than comfortable in their capabilities ! I
would and will highly recommend your company to others. From
placing order with Heidi to todays delivery your entire staff is
outstanding! Our shed looks fantastic and I'm very pleased .
Hello Brittany,
am extremely satisfied with my shed. It is fantastic!
You gave me a delivery window of 0800 to 1000 Monday
morning. The fella that delivered the shed was here at
0750 starting to unstrap the shed from the trailer. I
could not believe that he was early. By 0800 the shed was
on the Mule and by 0810 it was placed, centered, square with
the shed pad and the ramp installed. Outstanding.
A very happy customer,
GC, Wilmington,
My wife and I are
extremely happy with the experience we had with
Stoltzfus Structures. Although everyone was
helpful, we especially enjoyed Ben who was very
professional and helpful, while being a real
person we could talk to. I do not remember how
many calls, emails, etc we exchanged, but every
one was an aid in making our decision. We
purchased a 12' X 20" garage and included so
many upgrades and extra's primarily because we
felt they were cost beneficial.
I shopped around
locally in the Cape May, NJ area, but felt no
one could compare with the quality and price of
Stoltzfus. I would recommend them any day. The
funny thing was that several of my neighbors
were out in their yards when the garage was
delivered and they were impressed with the
"Mule" and how well it maneuvered. One neighbor
who was in construction for over 50 years (and
very picky) reviewed the interior and exterior
and gave it his "Harry Seal of
I'm happy to be a reference for you if I can. We are
very pleased with the pool house and the high quality
service that Stoltzfus provided.

Very best regards,
Derek Schum
Job well done. thank you very much- Your crew was a fine
group of young men that I have ever met.
Thanks again for a job well done..
Thanks for the follow up. The shed delivery went of without
a hitch. Thanks in large part to the the expertise of the
delivery driver. The other contributing part is the very unique
"MULE" system that is used to place the shed.
Not to sound trite, but watching the driver perform all of
the necessary functions in unloading, taking the shed down the
narrow 150 foot driveway, and then carefully positioning it as
he was directed, was like watching a ballet of sorts. Every
move was very precise and carefully executed. Even to the final
checking and slight leveling necessary to make sure that the
doors were perfectly aligned for proper functioning.
Thanks again for your direction on this project and the fine
work you represent.. I hope you enjoy this memorabilia as a
token of my appreciation..
Steve Longenecker
You must be psychic! We were just going to send you an
e-mail today saying how much we really enjoy our shed. What
made our experience that much more satisfying, was dealing
with you. You are a fantastic person and we really enjoyed
buying from Stoltzfus. Your recommendation of Precise
Foundations was greatly appreciated, those young men did a
great job. Even when our shed was delivered, the young man
who delivered the shed for us was very professional.
Overall, through this whole process, your leadership and
flexibility was greatly appreciated. We will come back to
Stoltzfus for all of our business. We will also highly
recommend you and Stoltzfus to all of our friends (who by
the way, also love our shed) and family. Thanks again for
everything you did for us...Brittany you are the best!
Thanks again,
Karen & Jeff Crain
The delivery went very well. The shed is great!
Thank you and the team at Stoltzfus for making the purchase
experience pain free. Your prompt and courteous customer
service is second to none.
Thanks again,
Rey Flores and Betsy Santos

We'll be sure to send you a pic
once the landscaping & everything is done.
The guys are so nice, and good craftsmen. The
shed/barn/garage looks great. Its much larger than I
We are very pleased and I thank you for everything.
Thanks for a great job on the shed. It looks good and the
men you sent did a wonderful job setting it up. Thanks again,
I think your delivery person, your shed, your
thoughtfulness, your honesty has all been truly a
delightful experience. I feel very fortunate to have
found you all and so look forward to more projects. I
will pass on your name to my architects as well, Archer
and Buchanan, West Chester, PA. They had told me to "go
out and find a nice company who can help you build all
your little building ideas"�and there we found you! We
will gladly pass your name along!
I am going to work on the idea I have for around the
pool stone wall where the equipment sits on our
property. I will also come out and visit you all
and learn more.
Thank you for being so helpful.
You are the kind of company AMERICA needs all over
this great country!
Betsy Grace
Shed arrived, looked great! It's been a week
& almost have it organized. I'm very pleased!
Thanks so much for your professionalism and
patience. I will refer anyone looking for a shed to
Hi Brittany
I was planning to write you and tell you that
the shed is super and the delivery was very nice
and professionally done.
Our small grandchildren are so exited about the
shed and think it is 'so cute' and it really is.
The workmanship is also very nice, something my
husband noticed.
Again, thanks again for the good service and it
was very pleasant to work with you.
Again, Thank you for making my dream toward my
dedication to my wife a reality.
I gave John David a DVD of the pictures
I took from the start of excavation on
August 11 to the completion today. I also
gave him the final check payment.
I have attached four more pictures I
took of the completed garage.
I need it to get stuff out of
the garage so that I may park
my new car in the garage. I
shopped for the car for
months, checked out most
models and ordered it from the
factory the way that I wanted.
I shopped for my new shed the
same way.
Your quality is the
Your prices are the best!
Your website is very easy to use
and helpful.
and your delivery guy, EJ?, he
is the best!
He is laid back and easy going
because he really knows his stuff.
Of course that do-all trailer
helped quite a bit. Watching
him work that trailer is worthy of
a sales video.
In communicating we did very
well but managed one miss
step. When I ordered a gutter
for my 14 foot shed, I did not
remember about the overhang.
EJ says that you will have someone
stop by with a 14 foot 8 inch
I wanted to take the time
to tell you that we are
exceptionally pleased with our shed
and very impressed with your
employees. Manny is a talented
carpenter and crew leader. He
is the kind of man that every young
man should try to emulate. Melvin
is a quiet giant, he worked in the
background, steady and strong,
carrying out his duties without
direction, filling in where needed,
and self-starting when there was a
pause in the chore that he was
working on at the time. I
will take him fishing any time he
wants. Caleb was the first in the
team to impress me with his skills
and ability- backing the trailer
off the street up a grade into a
narrow drive without hesitation and
with great precision, putting it
right where they needed it to be. A
great team player on a winning
team!! The guys' work ethic
and professionalism exceeds their
years. You should be very proud and
pleased with all of these men and
how they represented themselves and
your company. I was sorry that they
had to leave as they were such a
pleasure to be around. Thanks to
all the staff for making it
Thank You
I want to take a moment
to thank you for the
AWESOME shed that was
delivered. I was
surprised with the
customer service I received
when ordering and tracking
the shed all the way to
delivery in 10 short
days. Stoltzfus
Structures was great to
deal with throughout the
whole process.
To my surprise,
three days after the
shed was ordered it was
built and waiting for
delivery. It was
scheduled to be
delivered on a
Wednesday and on the
Monday prior
I called Jonathan
to see if there was
anyway to bring in
the delivery one day to
Tuesday (the next day
from my call) due to a
pending rain storm in
MD. Stoltzfus

As for the
driver, he had a
major challenge to
place the shed on a
row of blocks that
was located 100'
off the road and
between 2 large
trees as shown in
the attached
pictures. The
ground was soft due
to a 3 inch rain
storm 4 days prior
and he only had a
narrow section to
drive through due
to a fence and tree
line. He
managed to use the
trailer to
"inchworm" the shed
into location
because the truck
kept losing
traction. At
times I had my
doubts, but he did
an amazing job of

where it was
supposed to be and
it only took an

on the cake.

OKC Thunder notebook: Scott Brooks plans to use 'Hack-a-Jordan'
On a night when the Thunder looked allergic to defensive stops, Oklahoma City had a brief stretch of reprieve.
And it came in a unique way.
In the middle of third quarter, during a desperate time, coach Scott Brooks went to the "Hack-A-Jordan," fouling Clippers center DeAndre Jordan intentionally on four straight possessions. Jordan, a 42 percent foul shooter this season, went 1-of-8 at the line.
"It can always help when needed," Brooks said after a 122-105 loss to the Clippers on Monday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena. "We were down 20-something points. Any time you have that opportunity, you can use that against them. He shot 42 percent for the season."
But despite Jordan's struggles, Los Angeles coach Doc Rivers said he will lean toward leaving Jordan on the court during those times.
"He's our guy," Rivers said. "Listen, even when he misses, he gets stops on the other end. I don't know how much of an advantage it gives teams. There'll be nights where you may have to take him out. There'll be nights where you keep him in. They've done it all year. Teams are gonna keep doing it."
In the middle of the third quarter, as he fell to the ground, the Clippers' Blake Griffin seemed to wrap his legs around the ankle of a nearby Serge Ibaka.
Moments later, a frustrated Ibaka kicked Griffin's leg away from his, leading to a technical on Ibaka.
One of the key reasons the Thunder escaped a competitive series with Memphis was coach Scott Brooks' surprising starting lineup change – replacing mainstay Thabo Sefolosha with recently acquired Caron Butler.
"After Game 5, it was disappointing we lost that game and I thought we needed a switch," Brooks said. "We needed to generate some more points against Memphis' style of play."
But facing a more offensively potent and up-tempo Clippers team this round, Brooks went back to Sefolosha in the starting lineup. As Brooks explained, it was a matchup decision, with Sefolosha's defense on J.J. Redick a key factor.
"The Clippers, obviously, they can score 120 quickly," Brooks said. "So we need Thabo. His strength is defense, and J.J. Redick's strength is first quarter scoring. He comes off pin downs like the energizer bunny, never stops moving. Thabo has done a good job in the past against those kind of players. He gives us the best chance to contain."
LeBron James of the Miami Heat says Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant would be a deserving winner of the NBA MVP award.
It's expected that Durant will be announced as this season's MVP on Tuesday. James has lauded Durant's play this season several times in recent weeks, doing so again on Monday.
"Much respect to him and he deserves it," James said. "He had a big-time MVP season."
James is a four-time winner of the league's MVP award, taking the honor in each of the previous two seasons.
With all the controversy stirring around the Clippers, some have started referring to them as America's team.
"Can you tell the Oklahoma fans that?" Doc Rivers joked. "I don't buy into that. I mean, that's all nice and good. Listen, if we are, that's great. I think you have to earn that title."
Then Rivers backed off the last part of that statement, taking a not so subtle shot at the Dallas Cowboys.
"Though I don't know if some of the teams that call themselves America's team have earned that title," Rivers said. "Stop right there. I'm a Bears fan. I think you have to earn that. We haven't done enough yet to earn that. It'd be great to some day get that title."
For the past week-plus, as the Clippers tried and succeeded in getting by the Warriors in the first round, they were also dealing with a national controversy and media storm.
But as the second round gets underway, the buzz has died a bit.
"I think we're done with that," Rivers said. They'll be a bombshell or something at some point. Our guys are focused on basketball, and it's so nice that that's what we're talking about."
But it's still fresh enough news that Brooks was asked about how much he followed the Donald Sterling drama the past few weeks. He was very complimentary of how Rivers handled it.
"As well as any coach in this league could handle a tough situation," Brooks said. "He represented the Los Angeles Clippers and his players well, but he also represented the other 29 teams well. We're proud of what he did and what the players did and what they stood for."
Before Monday night, in the regular season or playoffs, Chris Paul had never hit more than five threes in a game. By halftime, he had six. By the end of the third quarter, he had eight.
Game 2 comes on Wednesday night in Oklahoma City. The Thunder will be looking for a huge bounceback. Tip is at 8:30 Oklahoma time on TNT.

Church of Nativity Deportee Held for Major Theft in Belgium
LONDON - One of the 13 Palestinians deported from the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem in May 2002 was arrested Tuesday in Belgium on suspicion of participating in a number of robberies in which more than $250,000 were stolen. Khalil Mohammed Abdullah al-Nawara received asylum in Belgium following the siege on the church.
The Belgian daily, Le Soir, reported that large security forces had conducted searches in 44 locations in the Brussels area, arresting seven individuals, including al-Nawara, on suspicion of using explosives to rob post offices of more than 215,000 euro.
Al-Nawara, a former resident of Bethlehem and a member of the Tanzim militia, was involved in the past in incidents of shooting at Israeli cars on the Tunnel Road, as well as the murder of Israeli citizens. His asylum in Belgium included financial assistance and housing. He was initially under guard by Belgian security forces, but this was later lifted after he was deemed not to be a threat to public security.
The affair has stirred unrest and embarrassment in Belgium. At first, government spokesman refused to comment on the matter; but yesterday, the office of the Belgian prime minister authorized publication of the details. Official government spokesmen told Haaretz that Interior Minister Patrick Dewael will be required today to respond to questions on the matter in the Belgian parliament.
The transfer of the deportees to Europe was accompanied by concerns that some were likely to turn to criminal or terrorist activities in their host countries. It was reported some six months ago that the security forces of Britain and Ireland were looking into information that one of the two Palestinians deported to Dublin was in contact with The Real IRA. Irish sources noted yesterday that at this stage, the allegations had yet to be confirmed.
