An unknown author wrote, “A daughter is the happy memories
of the past, the joyful moments of the present, and the hope and promise of the
future”.
We believe in family, and as parents, we have a daughter who
will one day find the love of her life (she’s still young though and has plenty
of time ahead of her…lots and lots of time).
Whenever possible, we take on jobs that move us. Meaning,
that yes we do this for the money (it’s a business and that’s how we put food
on the table), but our reward comes from meeting people and getting to be a
part of their story. That’s what moves us, and fills our hearts.
Like Gene and his wife. They too have a daughter. They also
have a shed.
Sorry…all we have is pictures of the shed, but again that’s
our small piece of this story.
Gene’s daughter got married, and they built a wood floor to
hold the reception and that very important first dance.
What Gene did afterwards is what touched us. He built his
shed out of the wedding floorboards.
That was a gift to his wife so that the memory of that night
and the vision of their daughter would live on forever.
So where does BICO fit into this story?
Gene retired, and his wife took a new position that required
them to move from their home in North Bend to Chehalis. The move seemed to be a
standard move (if there is such a thing); however, the shed caused an issue.
Was the shed part of the deal? Would the new home owners get
the shed as part of the package?
The answer was no, the shed was not part of the sale, and so
it needed to be moved.
Moved to their new home in Chehalis, WA.
How could we say no? As a true family business, our answer
was always yes. We would have done the same thing if that was our story.
One day in the far off future, our daughter will walk down
the aisle, and we hope that there is something that we can use to preserve that
moment in time for eternity.
Gene inspired us to do just that. His daughter’s moment in
time lives on in their shed, outside of their new home; allowing the family to
continue enjoying those thoughts, and its functionality (it is a shed after all).
So here’s to Gene…thank you sir for allowing us to be a part
of your story.
