Did You Know THIS About Your Neighbor?

Ten things I bet you did not know about your neighbor, David Branch.

In November, I introduced you to , builder of the MY (Madison Young) Playhouse project. Then in February, I wrote about_  a recipient of a one of the playhouses. But the story did not end there.

When Scott delivered the playhouse to Griffin, there was a problem. The roof of the playhouse knocked into the roof of the family home in the backyard. He had no choice but to install the playhouse in the front yard. However, with the playhouse in the front yard, mom Mollie and dad Josh couldn't let the kids run freely. The house needed to be moved to the backyard behind the fence where the parents could watch from the kitchen window or while resting on the back deck with new baby Catalina. This is where David Branch comes into the story. 

I met David through Becky Finney of American Pest control. (Thanks for the introduction, Becky!) We met to talk about business and marketing and he told me about Branch Construction Inc. and his fire and restoration work.  He also said he loved to solve problems.  

I was compelled to tell him about Griffin and the playhouse dilemma and he offered to come to the rescue and fixed the situation! Now the playhouse is in a safer location and the kids are having a blast!

Here's more about David and his family:

Imagine that! A mockery of a representative calling an issue a mockery! How much of his outrageousRead More salary and benefit package is he willing to give up? And what he calls fact is seriously distorted information. Good leaders don't run and hide from an issue and then blame others for their shortcomings... I realize good leaders are hard to find.... but, why do we continue to tolerate mediocrity? A vacant seat would be just as effective as this congressman... actually, as I think about it, probably more effective.
