The office staff would like to thank Mike Lundy for providing the carpenter who fixed the doors on two of our storage cabinets last weekend. Now we can slide them open without using our feet as wedges and our knees to push at the same time as our shoulders and hands pull. They slide like a dream. Thanks Mike. We would also like to thank Jamie and Laura Johnson who gave up their Saturday to empty the cabinets and assist the carpenter in moving the cabinets for repair.
