Car would not start and I had already replaced the battery. Esler's was the only shop in the area that seemed to be willing to even look at the vehicle before New Years Day. At first, it went OK.. they discovered blown fuses that occurred when cables were switched by mistake when installing the new battery (this was my fault). Due to the holiday, it took a couple days to obtain the correct fuses to then test the alternator and electrical systems. It was soon discovered on Thursday, Jan 2 that the alternator was bad.. With my consent, Esler's ordered a new alternator with expedited shipping.. with the promise that, assuming nothing further was wrong, the vehicle could be ready by Monday Jan 5th.. This was the weekend of the severe storm, so I was unable to get a status until Tuesday. At that, Joel informed me that the alternator had not even been ordered. I had to make the phone call to find this out, when Esler's had apparently known there was an issue several days prior. Instead of having a ready to drive vehicle, I was told late on Tuesday that the part had not even been ordered.. As a result, I had to make an unplanned 1100 mile round trip to take my son back to college at the last minute, when it was too late for him to obtain a ride or perhaps fly. Obviously, the bad weather was no one's fault and mistakes will be made, the lack of communication, created a MAJOR problem for me. My next status once again was by me contacting Esler's when I returned on Friday, Jan 10th..The alternator had arrived and was installed on Monday, the 13th..I was given an update that they wished to test the lighting control module.. I didnt hear back from them until 2 days later when they called to say that everything was fine and I could pick up the vehicle. Once again, sloppy communications from Esler's . When I was able to come in and pick up my vehicle, the person at the front desk couldnt give me any indication where my vehicle was (this was after a 6 inch snow). He mumbled something about "the cars are usually out front when they are done" and that was all he said.. He then left it up to me to go search the entire lot , with all cars snow covered.. I finally found my car, with no help I might add, and then had to spend time clearing it off to drive it away... Obviously, the bad weather combined with the holidays made a timely repair difficult. However the repeated instances of poor communications made things much worse than they should have been and caused me considerable inconvenience..
UPDATE: After my initial review, I was contacted by Joel in response to my comments. We had an extensive discussion where he apologized. Most importantly he made a clear commitment to make it right should I give him another chance to show what he is capable. Based on our conversation, I did revise my ratings and comments a bit.. I also intend to give him another opportunity based on his call.

Hey, I'm Lance! I became a professional online portrait artist in 2006 after my family was taken from me in a tornado losing my mother, father, brother, and son. Twenty-eight lives were taken as well as all their possessions, like mine. I drew from destroyed photos their families so they could have memorial portraits of them at the funerals and for the rest of time. Since then I have made a living traveling the country doing shows and drawing from photos you email me on line. There is NO GIFT more unique that brings more tears of joy to a loved one's eyes like one of these. Nothing. I've seen it time and time again. I make it affordable to anyone who's ever wanted one of these. Paintings with half the detail of these can cost upwards of $30,000 limiting something like this from hanging in living rooms for families to the rich only. Not anymore. Here's how it works.. Simply email me your favorite picture or pictures to [email protected] with a brief description of what you would like done. The bigger and clearer the picture the better the drawing. I will start an initial sketch right away and take pictures of it and show it to you. Please email them quickly if possible, because the holidays are coming and I get busy. Once the initial sketch is done. I usually take something down on it. It's a lot of work doing the initial sketch. This varies on the cost of the drawing which we will discuss right away. Drawings are usually 175 for 9x12's 225 for 11x14's 275 for 14x17's After this process is done I continue with your art piece sending you photos on line all the way through which many people find a lot of fun. I am also friends on Facebook with almost every person I've ever drawn for as well and would like to be your friend as well if you would like that. I post them on FB at your discretion. It makes me way more legit to people as well. The Prices vary with the art because of the size of the drawing as well as the number of faces. The number of faces DOES NOT double the cost. Usually an extra face is added depending on the size from anywhere between 25 and 50, but I do deals on these more than anything, so please call me about it at .(850) 691-3976

Holiday Decorating questions, answered by experts
Most contractors will include removal of your lights in the price of installation, but it’s always a good idea to double check. Storage of the lights is often also part of the package when you hire an installation professional, since you might choose to use the same lights for several years.
Nails are a popular choice for hanging string lights, but they are not the only option. Use outdoor hooks, zip ties, or even awning hangers to string up lights outdoors. For indoor lights, use simple tacks, zip ties, damage-free adhesive hooks, or drawing pins. When all else fails, just wrap the lights around some furniture or outdoor fixtures.
The cost of professional Christmas light installation is $430 on average, but it can range from $100 for basic projectors to $1,200 or more for an extensive holiday light installation. The overall price also depends on the size of your home and any other location where you’ll be adding lighting. For instance, a small, one-story home typically costs between $250 and $600 for light installation, but a 4,000-foot multi-story home costs significantly more, ranging from $500 to $1,800.
While it’s a somewhat common method for hanging Christmas lights, using a staple gun is not safe for your roof. Poking any kind of hole can potentially damage your roof and expose it to the elements, whether it’s from nails or a staple gun. Shingle tabs are the best way to hang lights on your roof without the damage.
You can attach Christmas lights to your palm tree by securely wrapping the strings around the tree. If you notice the strands slipping, you can also use a staple gun to secure them to the trunk.
