Handy Andy – It’s a First!

Tyler the Escape Artist coming to terms with reality.


Thinking Outside the Box

As a fencing company that prides ourselves in helping each of our customers meet their individual needs, we’ve come across many creative ways that our customers have installed their fencing. We thought we had seen it all, but one of our valued customers, Joe, proved us wrong.

After installing his Handy Andy fence, Joe came outside one day to find his furry friend, Tyler, on the wrong side of the fence. He had managed to wiggle his way through the space in between the pickets. Apparently Tyler is a bit of an escape artist.

Joe had to think outside the box to keep Tyler in the box. After some contemplation and a little ingenuity, Joe decided to slide his top rail down to the bottom. Tyler can no longer wiggle through the rails, and he is too short to make the leap over the lowered rail. This rendition of our Handy Andy fence gave us a little giggle when we first heard about it, but it turned out to be the perfect solution!

Feedback like this from our valued clients always brings a smile (and sometimes even a giggle) to our faces. Don’t hesitate to share photos of your fencing project to iwant2win@wambamfence.com for a chance to win a prize in our annual photo contest.

The Mysterious Case of the Missing Donuts

There’s nothing like a great sense of humor to brighten a dreary day, and this email exchange with a customer made us laugh. In case you don’t know, the donuts we refer of are those yellow contraptions that help level the pipe anchor so that even if it’s not perfectly straight in the ground, when you sleeve your post over the pipe and donut, your post will be straight and level.

Leveling Donuts Help Keep Your Posts Straight and Level

 

The customer’s original email said:

“Well, this time I’m afraid I’ve lost the leveling donuts, all 4 of them.  This time I remember they were here and don’t now if an animal carried them off or I just mis-placed them, or what.  In any event I need to order 4 more.”

We sent him his replacements and received this hilarious email 2 days later:

“I know you give a prize for photos, but do you have an idiot of the month award?

I’m the guy that looked everywhere for lost donuts, 5 times everywhere I could think of, at least, through all the trash, etc.  I thought the wife, cats and neighborhood crows, raccoons and possums were all conspiring against me to hide the little yellow donuts.

Well last week, I had done a bit of a dry run, fitting the vinyl posts over the surface mounts.  When I took the vinyl posts off the surface mounts, the donuts stayed with the vinyl posts.  They were there all the time, hiding inside, having a good laugh!!!!!!

So here’s one to add to your list of Murphy’s traps:  don’t forget that donut’s like to hide in posts if you do a dry run.

Since I’m a card carrying PhD tenured college professor, please don’t use my real name for fear my students would see it.”

More Outsourcing Chaos

We’re using some outsourcing to help the search engine optimization of our site. Part of what they do is write articles that pertain to fencing and WamBam Fence, and then release them online. It’s safe to say that said articles probably aren’t read too much. However, being nervous about people writing articles on our company when English isn’t their first language, I had one criterion: I wanted to proof read every single article written, even if it supposedly wasn’t going to be read by anyone. Part of what came back was enough to make me cringe. I rewrote the thing, and gave revised article a green light.

They released the original one. I don’t even know where they came up with this; they must read the blog or something. But this was one of the paragraphs of the article leaked for a few torture-some hours before I caught it and had it revoked immediately.

Even though the name of our company is pretty strange but our company is absolutely authorized and legal, handling jobs that are appropriate and tailor marked to the best of our client needs. The company is run by Steve and Denise along with two bondage employees Ben and Scott who started the entire concept of easy to fix fences

Easy to fix fences? And what the heck is a bondage employee? What kind of outfit do we have going on here anyway?

(The real story is that we provide easy-to-install vinyl fence that is digless. And our employees are here by choice. Promise.)
