It's the time of year when people are inspired to take-on home renovation projects that they put off during the warm months. And here at Sears Trostel we've added the FEIN MultiMaster Top Kit to our line of very handy tools, to make those projects much easier.

While most would consider the MultiMaster a must-have for contractors (AND IT IS!), the feedback we've received from homeowners and DIYers since introducing it to our inventory a couple of months ago, tells us it's a great tool for anyone wanting to complete projects in less time and with more ease.

With it's powerful oscillating motion, and electronic speed control settings up to 20,000 OPM, it offers greater control, without kickback and minimal vibration. 
Do you need to remove old grout in the shower? Sand a tight spot? Take-up glued-down tile, linoleum or carpeting? Cut pipe for a plumbing project? Make space at the bottom of a door jam so that new flooring will fit beneath it? Or cut out damaged pieces of hardwood flooring for replacement? These are but a few of the jobs that the MultiMaster can make a piece of cake!

To say that the FEIN MultiMaster is just useful and comes with accessories would be an understatement. Besides the components that come with the Top Kit, you'll find MANY accessories for sawing, rasping, scraping, grout removal, sanding, polishing and cutting -- both in-stock or available to order. An accessory for virtually any renovation or construction project.  >> Get the details on the FEIN MultiMaster Top Kit

Sears Trostel's own, general manager Curt Viehmeyer, is having what we hope is not his only 15 minutes of fame. His smiling face was featured in an advertisement in the recent July/August issue of LBM Journal -- a trade publication that provides strategies for lumber and building material distribution professionals.

What is this all about you ask? Here at Sears Trostel, Curt uses Epicor BisTrack software to keep operations running smoothly, so that we can concentrate on providing the great customer service we're known for. One day while talking to an Epicor representative, Curt told them how much he loved the computer system, and they said "Can we quote you on that?" and the making of an ad was born. 

Professional photographer Kristi Hill (you may remember her as a ST employee who is now finding her fame behind the camera) was sent to take photos of our leading man. Some great shots were then shipped off to Epicor's ad agency, and the ad on the left came to life!

Click the image to see the ad in action. It received great placement, too...right across from the Table of Contents.

Next time you're in the store, be sure to congratulate Curt...and ask him for his autograph!

We recently received an email from a happy customer along with a photo of the project that she had completed using lumber from Sears Trostel.  Our customer Kris came to us with a vision and turned that vision into a wonderfully unique door, one that blends nicely with the mountainous beauty that is Fraser, Colorado.

Well, we thought Kris's door was too pretty to keep to ourselves and asked her if she wouldn't mind sharing with our readers a little bit about her project, from inspiration to fruition. Here is what she had to say about her door makeover:
   

Surely you are all familiar with Tyler Morris and his amazing talent.  Tyler is a well-known and much respected local woodworker (as well as a loyal Sears Trostel customer).  He designed and builds the corbels that we have in stock here at our retail location and was the mastermind behind this beautiful handcrafted beetle kill pine box sitting at the front desk:
