5 Tine Broadfork
Product Description
The 5-Tine Broadfork from Valley Oak Tool easily breaks up and aerates heavily compacted soil 12 inches deep.
Our Broadfork is farm tough, but designed for comfortable all-day use. It features foot-long tines that won't bend even in tough soil, seriously strong ash wood handles that are balanced, and a wide flat treadbar so your feet have a sturdy place to stand.
This garden tool will last a lifetime. Like all Valley Oak Broadforks, the 5-Tine comes with our Guarantee.
Why Do Serious Gardeners Love Our Broadfork?
1. ¼" Thick tempered steel tines We've put these tines to the ultimate test. Even in roots, rocks, and clay they're nearly impossible to bend.
2. Weighted & Balanced For All Day Use - We designed the Valley Oak broadfork with the average gardener in mind, we could have made it bigger, but ultimately we wanted you to be able to easily use it all day.
3. 12" Long Tines - The perfect length for aerating your garden soil. Tines longer than 12" make the tool hard to use for average sized gardeners.
4. 1 ½" Wide Square Treadbar - Making a square treadbar (round steel is very slippery, especially in the mud) creates a more stable place for you to stand. 1 1/2" is plenty wide for your feet to be comfortable, secure, & stable
5. Strong Ash Handles 1½" in Diameter - Wood handles are comfortable to use. Wood uneffected by hot and cold, it's easy to grip. (There is a 6 Month Replacement Guarantee on the handles. After that, replacement handles are available for $15 each, or $25 for a pair, but you'll probably never need them).
6. Balanced design, stout wood handles, reinforced tines, and a wider treadbar - We make a tool that is easy to handle, extremely durable, totally reliable, and far easier on your body to use.
7. Human powered, no smelly fumes, no jolting noise, no pollution, and it saves earthworms.
8. Proudly Made in the U.S.A. - Hand made in our shop in Chico, CA.

Excellent !
Posted by Sharon on 4th Dec 2013
I decided to go with the broadfork over a rototiller for a few reasons.
First off, we have a mix of clay and shale, and I know from previously experience that the rototiller has a hard time of it, especially if there are weeds present. The clay clogs up the tines something fierce.
Secondly, I wanted something with few moving parts, and the broadfork fits that bill. After some hard work with it, I can see the only thing I may ever need to do is replace the handles, but they held up through the abuse I put them through this year.
Thirdly, this causes less harm to the environment than a motorized option.
I like it!
Posted by Harl Myers on 27th Aug 2012
I did a garden plot that is new this year. True the sod was dead and had been turned over by a small plow a month before. However the plow probably only went 4 inches deep. I did the 32 by 38 foot plot in 2 days working in the cool part of the day. I did 3 rows with it and then raked it down and planted my cover crop, (Rye). Then did another 3 rows. It is work, but I am 63 and it was not that bad. I could listen to the ipod while I worked and it made the time go by pretty quick.
I have a bunch of evergreen bushes to remove and think this will come in handy at that time as well.
VERY well made!
Posted by Garth Mudge on 21st Apr 2012
The handles fit very tight and did not break while lifting a willow tree. I found and removed those rocks that I could hear the rotovator hitting. BIG rocks WAY down in the soil and the gusseted tines did not bend! I'm sure it will hold up a long time. Looking forward to working over the whole garden.
Excellent product!
Posted by Pam in east Tennessee on 16th Mar 2012
I purchased the 5 Tine Broadfork in January 2012. This has become my favorite garden tool. The Broadfork is very well made, handles are easy to attach and it is well balanced and actually fun to use. The Broadfork is earth and earthworm friendly because no gasoline is required for operation and there are no bits and pieces of dead earthworms. This product should actually be rated TEN stars....best garden purchase ever!

Over 100 business leaders listened to his presentation on Leadership. MCEDC Board of Directors Blake Hobson, Secretary, Jamie Maravich, Treasurer, Board of Director Brad Heldt, Transportation Committee Chairman Charles Eldredge and many of our investor/members were on hand to share some of the concerns of the business community on the challenges facing business in Illinois.

From 1997 to 2000 Daley served as US Secretary of Commerce under President Clinton overseeing a department of more than 40,000 people. As special counsel to President Clinton in 1993, Daley coordinated the successful campaign to pass the North American Free Trade Agreement.
Daley serves on the corporate Boards of Abbott Labs, Boeing Co, and Merck and Co.

The room was a buzz with business on Thursday, April 11th at the Holiday Inn ballroom in Crystal Lake. Almost 90 companies participated and connected with potential customers and suppliers which was like music to the ears of MCEDC President Pam Cumpata. "The purpose of this event to open doors, create opportunities and to share information about products and companies. Bottom line....to build business! We have heard of companies who participated before and have generated solid business. In fact, one company met its business park neighbor here and within two years this previously 'unknown' neighbor is now one of their top customers."

The McHenry County Economic Development Corporation held its Annual Meeting of Investors and Annual Board of Directors Meeting on November 13th, 2012.
"McHenry County EDC has been a consistent voice for business for the over 21 years. Our mission is to support the creation of primary jobs by focusing on retention, expansion and attraction" said Chairman of the Board Gary Overbay, as he reviewed activities for 2012.
Two new Board of Directors were elected to the board – Carolin Archibald, President, Medela, Inc. and Michelle Rentzsch, Director Planning and Economic Development, City of Crystal Lake. These new board members will serve their first term from 2013 to 2015. Chairman Overbay continued "MCEDC affects positive change and economic growth; strategic leadership is vital during these economically challenging times and we are pleased to have the professional acumen of these outstanding leaders".
The officers of the corporation for 2013 were also elected and are Chairman of the Board, Gary Overbay, Civiltech Engineering, Vice Chairman, Susan Milford, Centegra Health System, Treasurer, Jamie Maravich, BMO Harris Bank and Secretary, Blake Hobson, Image Industries.
Recognized for his contribution and efforts on behalf of McHenry County EDC was retiring Board Member Rob Grammer, McHenry Savings Bank.
McHenry County EDC President, Pam Cumpata, extended her appreciation and thanks to the Board and to all of the investor/members of the organization who have not only supported our efforts financially, but have contributed over 800 hours of their time to help grow the economy. She reported further that "throughout the year, we have been able to provide customized support to over 1,800 businesses, municipalities, residents and government entities. We have raised the visibility of McHenry County regionally, nationally and internationally. Our resource capabilities have been broadened with the addition of demographic statistical reporting and economic modeling software enabling us to create over 1200 requested individualized reports. Engaging the future workforce continued to be a major focus and we were pleased to bring the 844 students to the International Manufacturing and Technology Show in Chicago with a goal of instilling in them an interest in manufacturing and the importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) education. Finally, we continued to work steadily on infrastructure including the ongoing fiberoptic broadband project, and were able to celebrate four major transportation projects – completion of widening to five lanes of IL 47 through downtown Huntley, a project more than 10 years in planning with funding through Congressman Manzullo; a groundbreaking of a full interchange at IL 47 and I 90 with funding from McHenry County, the Village of Huntley, Kane County, IDOT and the Illinois Tollway; groundbreaking of the Western Algonquin Bypass whose advocacy was the trigger for founding McHenry County EDC with funding obtained from IDOT, Congressman Manzullo, Senator Durbin and former the then Senator Obama; and the rededication of Rakow Road widened to four/six lanes with the funding from Congressman Manzullo and the County transportation bonding program."
Cumpata commented further "2012 was very successful and with the leadership, guidance and support of our Board of Directors and investor/members, we look forward to 2013 as we continue to help build the economic wealth of McHenry County."

text: Lotus secret weapon is the steering wheel of the newly launched E21 29 January, 2013 Lotus E21 secret weapon (Photo supplied by Lotus) Amid the razzmatazz and hype of the Lotus E21 launch we were able to uncover the team's secret weapon for 2013 – the steering wheel on their new car – in an image (above) which they must have accidentally included in their media pack. Lotus E21 cockpit Last year the steering wheel issue was one of Kimi Raikkonen's complaints about the E20, apart from some discomfort the Iceman felt in the cockpit he also felt there were some redundant commands on the wheel. He thus spent the off-season developing a custom wheel which is set to revolutionise F1 cockpits. Romain Grosjean will also benefit from the sweeping changes. The E21 steering wheel features never before used functions which are set to change the way racing and strategy takes place in modern grand prix racing. Many of the commands on the wheel remain a mystery but our in-office technical guru was able to decipher many of the steering button commands which we have listed below: Mute – to silence irritating race engineers from telling those who know what they are doing, how to do things. Ice-cream – which prompts the Lotus team's catering boss to rush off to the media centre with lollies to have the hacks write good things about the driver who presses the button. Sat Nav – important new addition for a driver who may have forgotten his way around a circuit. Smile – to keep everyone happy. Tweet – in keeping with the trend to keep fans informed at all times of exactly what is going on in the cockpit. Cold Knob – to control the temperature in the cockpit. Open Gate – for drivers who go off track and find closed gates in their way. Translate (Anti- Mumble) – useful for drivers who mumble over the radio as function also provides instant sub titles. Finishing Position – allows driver to pre-determine the position he wants to end the race in. Nap Mode – for boring races gives a driver time for a power nap while car goes into auto-pilot. Jump – appears to be a secret option the exact nature of which we are yet to understand. Mum – gives a driver the option to instantly connects his mother's mobile phone for a quick chat when the need arises, also, when Mum calls it glows. Deploy Angry Birds – useful to launch at rivals during close racing situations. Like – for Facebook and in keeping with the social media craze. Jenson – we have asked the media people at Lotus to explain what the Jenson button does… The word is that these options will be available to both Raikkonen and Grosjean throughout grand prix weekends, not just in qualifying and races. When pressed for more info on the other dials and gizmos on the E21 steering wheel, the team's technical boss James Allison simply smiled and said, "That would be telling." (GP247) Subbed by AJN.

Okay so today my mom picked me up from school to take me to the bank to get money for Christmas shopping, and to change my account.
Right now I can't touch my money (I'm not even supposed to know that the account exists) without my mom there. It's really fucking irritating. So my mom and I were going to change it so it was just in my name.
The bank won't let us because I'm not 18.
Are you fucking kidding me. I worked everyday in the past two summers, saving up money so I could be able to pay for gas and other things for my car. But apparently, even though I EARNED that money, I have NO RIGHT to use it. But whatever.
I'm so furious. And my mom always complains that I don't have money but she never wants to take me to the bank to get it.
Oh, and I didn't get a call back.
I really hope the world ends tomorrow.

Tooting My Own Horn
Woot! Woot! After such a difficult year and a half, I'm so glad to say that I've maintained my GPA this year (all A's this school year!). I don't know how I was able to concentrate, or study, or continue with my studies this year. It was soooo difficult. But I'm so glad and grateful that God gave me the strength to keep up with it. Somehow, I made it through, and I'm proud of myself for it. There were days I just didn't want to do anything…I just didn't have the mind to, or the heart to. But maybe my studies is something that helped keep me afloat among so much sadness, uncertainty, and heartache. Because it was one of the only stable things in my life at the time. One of the "constants" in my life. Kept me moving forward in a way.
I have a bit more to go, but I'm close to my goal. The goal of having stuck with something for soooo long, and finally seeing it come to fruition. It's not about the degree or a future career for me. It's about knowing that through all the adversity, frustration, and challenges, that I said I was going to do something and did it. That I stuck with it as hard as it may have been. That I didn't give up. And that means the world to me. It's a lesson in life – I can't ever give up. No matter how hard it is. I need to keep moving forward.
Following His Lead
For these past couple of months (or really 9 months), I have been in search of myself again. In search of who I am, who I was, and what I lost (what I lost about myself). In search of who I want to be and what I want to do. I'm not quite on solid ground yet. I mean, I feel like my feet touch the ground every now and again when I'm feeling good and positive and hopeful, but I still don't feel a sense of being completely grounded yet. Sometimes events in our lives throw us off the tracks. Derail us completely and unexpectedly. I was totally derailed. I know that I'm growing because of this experience, but I still feel lost a lot of times. I still feel like I'm not sure if I'm heading in the right direction, or what I should be doing. Sometimes you wish someone could point you in the right direction. Make things more clear, or give you hope that things would get better. That you wouldn't feel lost anymore. That one day you would be back on solid ground again with a clear vision of what you needed to do and who you were. That the choices you were making today, were the right ones. All I can do is follow his lead. Follow this path that God has me on, and have faith and believe that I need to walk on this path in order to touch solid ground again. I need to hold on to his hand even when I feel like letting go. Even when I'm weak, doubtful, scared, or unsure. I need to believe in him enough to realize that he would never lead me down a path that wasn't good for me. And that takes so much courage. So much faith.
The Holidays
Man, the holidays can be rough….so immensely rough. I have to say though, I'm so grateful I am not completely alone, as so many unfortunately are during the holidays. I have my mom and brother, and just having them here with me – it helps me get through. And though there is sadness and longing in my heart, I have to open up my eyes, my heart, and mind to what is right in front of me. To all that I do have. I can't be blinded by my own loss and melancholy. Sometimes our hearts are so wounded, that we just want to give up. We just want to stay in bed and cry, and sit in our loss. But it just doesn't do us much good. We are only wasting precious time. I can't change my past, and I can't control the future. All I have is right now. Today. This moment. So I have to make the best of it, and have to hold on to the hope and the belief that my tomorrows will be better than all of my yesterdays. That's not to say that I should ignore or get angry at myself for feeling that loss. It's okay to feel what we need to feel. And we have to be kind with ourselves for it as well. But I just can't allow myself to wallow in it. A few minutes to acknowledge and feel those feelings is okay. But all day – not good..lol. So here's to that effort. That conscious effort to choose and feel differently.
It Takes Two
It takes two – two sides to every story. I've learned a lot from my breakup. I wasn't innocent – I had my flaws too. I was insecure with myself. And my insecurities made me question and overthink. There was always a part of me that wondered – does he really, really love me? Is he 100% dedicated to me? Does he really think I'm beautiful and special? Am I beautiful and special? Does he really want to spend the rest of his life with me? These were some of my own personal fears coming to the surface. When you are in a relationships, old fears and insecurities have the tendency to boil to the surface when you least expect it. The idea that someone could truly love me for me, without any hidden agenda, or the fact that someone would finally stay in my life – that they wouldn't leave the way others had….I never realized how much loss I had experienced in my life. Different losses, but nonetheless, loss. All these things just came to the surface.
I was so afraid to lose him. I wanted him to stay. I wanted this to be the exception to the rule I had gotten so used to in my life. I know my insecurities affected our relationship. I held on to him tightly. I didn't have friends really, except ones from work, but no one I could truly go to or spend time with, or vent to. I had no one but my family and him. I can see how that was a burden to him in a way. He would have wanted me to have my own life and friends, and things to do. The same way he wanted to do his own things. Ultimately, the one thing I had been dreading, had happened – I lost him. He left. Another loss. That's why when the relationship ended, I evaluated my life. I evaluated myself. I wanted to learn from this experience and to grow from it. Certainly there had to be a reason for all the pain and hurt I was feeling. There had to be a reason why this had all happened. And so I started working on myself. I've made new friends since then. I've done things I never would have done, and tried new things. I've taken chances on people. I've opened up. And I continue to do so, even when fear wants to stop me. It's an ongoing process, but I'm growing and evolving.
Something that I learned though is that it wasn't just me. I blamed myself for everything when he broke up. Absolutely everything. But I realize now that while I take full responsibility for my flaws, I refuse to take responsibility for the demise of the relationship. Relationships take two people. They take communication and effort. And unfortunately, there was a breakdown in communication, much earlier than I had realized – possibly from the start of our living together. And what I learned was that all I could have done had I known how he was feeling, was exactly what I'm doing now. Accept my faults and work on them. I can't help but wonder if a part of me did have reason to feel insecure at times (not all the time, but some times). It's not that he was cheating or being untrue to me in any way, but just that I felt like he wasn't 100% invested. Ultimately, maybe that was the case. Maybe he just felt he couldn't at the time. Maybe he just had too many things about himself he needed to work on. I'll never really know.
Sometimes it depends on who you are with and whether you both choose to work on things together to build a stronger relationship, as well as to grow as individuals. I have a better idea of what I need in a relationship now because of this experience. I also have a better idea of who I want to be in a relationship. I don't want to be the same insecure person I once was. I want to be secure in myself as well as in my relationship and the person I'm with. Communication is so key. And hopefully I will find someone that is willing to communicate and be willing to work on any obstacles that may come our way – because it's worth it, and because we will be better for it. Just as in marriage vows – through better and worse.

While attending the Munster High band concert, our car, in the MHS parking lot, was "bruised" by another car in the process of leaving. This was witnessed by a man and a woman, who called Munster police when they noted the car was proceeding to leave.
The man stopped the departing car while the woman called 911. Police arrived, took the report from the witnesses and pertinent information from the driver in question. The driver in question then left.
When we arrived at our car, we were given a copy of the police report by the unnamed witnesses, who chose not to leave until we were given the information. We thank them for being light in darkness. Merry Christmas!

In 1215, King John of England, having met with rebellious barons who objected to what they perceived as his abuse of his powers as their feudal lord and who had confronted him with armed force to demand that he sign a charter guaranteeing them various rights and limiting the authority of the crown over the feudal aristocracy and the church, arranged for the barons to be set upon and slain at the meeting at which the King was supposed to have signed the charter.
Magna CarterThe result was disaster. Already at the point of civil war, England exploded as news of the barons' slaughter by the king, with Prince Louis of France offering aid to the rebel forces. In May 1216, as England descended into anarchy, Louis's forces landed unopposed in Kent and marched for London.
John desperately struggled to marshal forces to fight off the revolutionaries and their French allies, but ironically his slaying of the barons at Runnymede had wiped out too much of the feudal authority structure under which levies could have been called forth in his name, and alienated the remainder. Adding to his troubles, in September 1216, while at the port town of King's Lynn, John developed persistent dysentery. On October 18 of that year, he would die of the disease.
A new story by Eric LippsThe barons' charter would disappear into the mists of history. Prince Louis, already in line to become King Louis VIII of France, would be crowned Louis I of England in March of 1217, inaugurating a century of renewed French domination of the British Isles which would be marked by frequent outbreaks of rebellion. Finally, in 1347, Louis IV, the last French king of England, would be dethroned by rebels. His attempt to regain his English possessions would be cut short gruesomely by the arrival, in 1348, of the Black Death, which would rage until the 1360s and kill an estimated one-quarter of the entire population of Europe.
Ironically, it would be that horror which would revive interest in a charter of rights in England. The shortage of manpower after the mass death meant that laborers were in a better position than previously to press for improved conditions, while the aristocracy wanted legal protection against the looting of their estates by the king, which had happened repeatedly as a monarchy impoverished by disease, famine and disorder among its subjects sought to maintain a luxurious lifestyle. In May of 1366, a conference of nobles, military officers and representatives of the newly powerful craft guilds presented a charter of rights to King Edward III, who reluctantly signed it. He had no alternative. The delegation had come with an army at its back; there would be no repetition of the massacre at Runnymede.

Health Insurance Costs Outpace Wages
Strain on Family Budgets continued...
The Families USA findings come less than two weeks before Election Day. Both Barack Obama, the Democratic candidate, and John McCain, the Republican candidate, have pegged health care reform as a top domestic priority.
McCain's health plan seeks to shift workers away from employer-sponsored coverage and instead give a tax credit. The credit -- $2,500 for individuals and $5,000 for families -- could be used to purchase coverage on the individual insurance market. McCain also wants to cut insurance regulations so that companies can more easily offer streamlined coverage across state lines.
Obama's plan requires insurance for all children. It also requires employers to either provide coverage for workers or pay into a fund for coverage. Obama includes tax breaks for some businesses to help cover those costs. He also wants to set minimum national standards for coverage and then let private insurance companies sell subsidized plans to business and individuals.

I've been thinking lately about the subject of creativity, and that has led me to remember one of my favorite books: The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity by Julia Cameron. A point Cameron's book makes is that we all have some degree of creativity within us and it is worthwhile to overcome our fear of using it. That aspect of her book intrigues me.

Pete T wrote a review of Marmot Crystalline Jacket - Women's on July 26, 2010
Lightest rain jacket
Whenever I go climbing I bring WAY too many clothes. At the risk of sounding cliche, I think it's a girl thing. But bouldering in Colorado's high alpine requires you to be prepared for every weather pattern -- blazing sun, torrential downpour, icy snow and high winds -- all in the same day. To keep it light, I depend on Marmot's Crystalline Jacket as my waterproof rain jacket.

Nashville, TN (Sports Network) - Just three days after not tendering a contract offer to catcher Geovany Soto, the Texas Rangers signed him to a one- year deal on Monday.
Although financial details were not released, the pact is believed to be worth $2.75 million plus incentives.
Soto, 29, split time between the Chicago Cubs and the Rangers last season, in which he hit a paltry .198 with 11 home runs and 39 RBI in a combined 99 games.
Over eight major league seasons, Soto is a career .248 hitter with 82 home runs and 289 RBI.
The Rangers are also reportedly closing in on a two-year deal with former All- Star closer Joakim Soria.

Humanoid species. The Enterprise NX-01's Dr. Phlox is Denobulan. The Denobulans hail from the system Denobula Triaxa, and only require six days of sleep per year (though, according to Dr. Phlox, two will suffice). It is common for Denobulans to have multiple spouses — Phlox has three wives, who, in turn, each have two other husbands. Mating among this species is apparently very complex compared to human traditions, yet most Denobulans do not like to be touched.

MCC Lecture Series Opens with Oct. 25 Talk on Astronomy
Dr. Megan Donohue will use her scientific expertise to explain the future and ultimate fate of the earth, the sun, and the universe in her lecture, "Astronomy's Future: The End Times of the Universe," on Thursday, Oct. 25, in the Overbrook Theater. The 7 p.m. talk is free and open to the public.
Dr. Donahue, a professor of Astronomy at Michigan State University, has won many teaching awards. She will review the current understanding of how our sun works under the profound influence of dark matter and dark energy, and how new insights allow forecasting in greater detail the future of the universe.
"While the endtimes of the solar system and the universe might seem like pure speculation," says Donahue, "much of the story is well-grounded and tested through observations of other stars, modeled through very standard physics. Some of our predictions are quite speculative but are based on scientific questions that can, in principle, be answered."
This lecture was chosen because of MCC's recently reopened and renovated Carr-Fles Planetarium, as well as the theme this year's Arts and Humanities Festival which is "The Future."
"A general audience, including college students, will gain an appreciation for how some of the cutting-edge astronomy and physics work being done today are relevant to answering some basic questions," said the MIT grad. "How long can the Earth sustain life? How long does the Sun live and what happens to it when it dies? What happens to the universe if we wait long enough? Does anything live forever? The answers might be surprising."
Now in its eighth year, the MCC lecture Series is coordinated by MCC instructor Andy Wible. The topics are selected from faculty input. The speakers include academic experts in their fields across a wide variety of disciplines.
"I hope students, faculty, and the community take a deeper understanding of how our universe works and how we can gain knowledge about it," says Wible.
For more information on the lecture, please contact Andy Wible at (231) 777-0626.

Whether your dream is a new or replacement deck, a new patio, or a porch, Archadeck can make your outdoor living dreams come true. Imagine sitting in the shade on a hot July afternoon sipping a cold beverage under your new pergola or porch. Picture yourself snuggled beside an outdoor fireplace or fire pit on a chilly October evening. We can extend the length of your outdoor enjoyment into the chilly evenings in the spring or fall. Maybe your dream includes a state of the art outdoor kitchen to create wonderful meals for your friends and family. We would love to custom design a deck to make your outdoor living dreams a reality.
In addition to making your outdoor living dreams come true, we can help you avoid the potential nightmare of an unsafe deck. Is your deck showing signs of wear? The average life expectancy of a deck is 15 to 20 years. In the harsh Colorado climate we live in, if your deck hasn't been properly maintained, that life span can be even less. If you are concerned about the safety of your deck, we can perform a comprehensive deck inspection for you. Avoid the nightmare of a deck failure. Call us at 303-470-3325 to schedule an expert deck safety inspection to prevent your decks from becoming another failure statistic.
Archadeck of Douglas County is a local family owned business backed by the strength of a national brand that has built more than 100,000 structures since 1980. We are your local deck, patio, porch, kitchen, and sunroom builder in Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock, and the surrounding areas. We are committed to the communities we serve, and we provide the expertise to keep you and your loved ones safe in your outdoor structure. We also offer the benefit of an experienced international design center that will custom design new projects to complement your home, suit your personal style, and meet the functional needs you desire. Our focus on the customer experience is at the core of the Archadeck brand. That is why your project will be "built better by design."
We welcome you to contact us for a free no obligation design consultation on a new project or a low cost deck safety inspection. Our design guide can help you imagine the possibilities for your outdoor living space. If you desire a design consultation, we will schedule a time to meet with you in your home, take some photos and measurements of your home, and listen to the functional needs and the vision you have for your project. Our attention to detail and our disciplined project management process is extremely rare in the industry and it assures that your project will be delivered with the high quality experience that the Archadeck brand is known for.
Our national Archadeck brand backs each project with a guarantee of performance to the terms of the contract. Beyond the performance guarantee, Archadeck offers a warranty on all of our completed projects that is unprecedented in the home improvement industry. So if you're interested in avoiding the home improvement nightmares that are so common in this industry, you will sleep well knowing that your project is backed by the Archadeck warranty.
Thank you for considering Archadeck for your outdoor living needs. We hope to hear from you soon. Call us at 303-470-DECK(3325) or complete the form to the right to contact us via our website.

Going on 30 years of business and nearly 100,000 completed projects, Archadeck's experience and professionalism ensures unmatched quality and service.
We want our clients to get the outdoor structure they've always wanted. That's why we offer a free design consultation that explores their individual wants and needs. Based on those requirements, Archadeck custom designs each project and creates detailed renderings so you can see exactly what your finished project will look like.
Archadeck handles every aspect of the construction process, from obtaining all necessary permits to thorough inspections upon completion of the project. You won't need to worry about anything.
Every outdoor living project we design and build is backed both by an Archadeck warranty and the National Guarantee Corporation. The Archadeck warranty includes a one-year workmanship warranty and a five-year structural warranty. The National Guarantee Corporation guarantees that our structures will be completed to the agreed upon specifications, no matter what.

I think I must have a different take on redemption than other people. See, I don't think that you necessarily have to want redemption to be redeemed. I don't think you have to set out on some hero's journey with the whole goal in mind that you're going to get your ass some redemption. I think redemption is more about the things you do, not the things you say.
Jaime may not ever say "I want to atone for my crimes" … he doesn't have to. His actions say that. When he's writing in the White Book, it's obvious that he's not the man he always dreamed he'd be, it's obvious that his life didn't go the way he wanted it to. It's obvious that he does want to set things right.
And for what it's worth, he does admit to feeling shame for what he's done. He tells Cersei that he's not ashamed of loving her, only of the things he did because of that love. That includes, more than anything, I would think, pushing Bran out the window. He doesn't have to spend a million chapters bemoaning this shit. That's not who he is. But he DOES feel guilt for it. And to say he doesn't want to suffer to make up for anything — well, again, you don't have to WANT it for it to happen. Jaime lost his sword hand. It was his entire identity. And losing it fundamentally changed him, whether he wanted it to or not. He doesn't see the world the same way as he did before that happened.
I don't think redemption is a dirty word. I don't think it's a bad thing. I don't think it automatically means you're a fucking white hat who never does anything wrong. But he's clearly not happy with the status quo, or where his life has ended up. I don't think Jaime is Azor Ahai reborn or anything, god no (though that would be some hilarious trolling on GRRM's part oh god). To me, redemption simply means being dissatisfied with where you've ended up and wanting to do BETTER. I don't think anyone can argue that Jaime is at that point, whether he realizes it or not (and I don't think that he actually DOES). But why else would he have given Brienne Oathkeeper and sent her to find Sansa — whom he even SAYS is his last chance for honor?
I don't expect everyone to agree with me. I don't CARE if you don't. This is what makes Jaime such a fascinating character, because there are so many ways to read this character, so many different takes on who he is. I see some people say he's a villain, some people say he's neither good nor evil, and some people (like me), who think he IS a good man, with about a million shades of grey making up who he is. None of these interpretations are wrong. Jaime is complex. That's why we love him (or love to hate him).
I mean, he says it himself. There are no men like him. There's only him.
