New Store Policy
As you know we always welcome drop-in sewers. As this has become very popular, and due to increased business costs, there will be a fee for drop-in sewers starting June 1, 2010 payable at the beginning of each month. There will be a monthly fee of $10.00 for multiple monthly drop-ins, or $5.00 per day for occasional drop-ins.
We are asking that you call ahead to make sure there is room and that a class is not scheduled.
When you call to arrange a convenient time please make me aware if you will require my assistance that day on the project you are working. If I assist you, the fee of $25.00 will be payable the same day for my instruction
