| |  | | Notices | Hi Unregistered,
I am Josveek Huligar of Huligar Stone Restoration. It is my hope that a few good craftsmen and craftswomen will call this sanctuary a home.
I will try to make this place as appealing to you as possible.
We do have a few ground rules (without rules there can only be chaos).
1. Respect yourself and your trade.2.No trade bashing. But, by all means, please debate. It is through the debates that we get to the truth.
3. In your signature, you may not link to any other site. If you supplied your link in your profile, you may put that link under your avatar
4. Do not insult the guests.
5. Your participation is necessary in all polls. This is the only way we can get real feedback.6.You can post pictures of your work. Please, the only work we really care about is the work you do to stone, not on it (nothing inappropriate).
7. You will also be required to be active in this forum. I intend to rid the NSRA Trade area of the hacks and stone-voyeurs by mandating anyone who wants access to the trade lounge to register with their location and trade. If for any reason a person does not participate for duration of 60 days they will be banned from the lounge "No Beer for you". We have guys who are willing to share their knowledge and experience to the public for free. The least you can do is ask the questions. If trade lounge has just one other person, I would be happy if that one person was someone I could exchange ideas with and by doing so better myself. In that way, this site is more about show and tell.
8. The general public will not be allowed in the trade lounge. The trade lounge members are not allowed in the student lounge. The students will be able to view but not post in the general room. All questions for the trade are to be confined to the trade lounge or they would be redirected to the trade lounge. Anyone in the trade lounge can make a reply to the general room once they keep in mind that we are promoting natural stone as a serviceable product.
9. We are craftsmen and women, not politicians. So leave the politics out.
MIA, Marble Cleaning Net, NTC, sfa and ISI are all welcome here as long as they respect this forum. There is a room where all may place their ads and do their promotions for upcoming events, a calendar for trade shows, educational classes, and any other type of trade gathering. For all the salespeople, we even have a place for you. You can enter your product up for reviews and the good folks will grade your products. I must warn you. If your product is inferior, the whole world will know, quickly. No news travels faster than bad news. For all the homeowners, contractors, and designers we even have a place for you. The general room is where you can ask as many questions as you want. You may not get the answer you are looking for but you will get the right answer. If there is any way that we can make your visit more pleasurable, please let us know. | | News.

|  Who is the USAGFA?
All associations are not created equal. You want an association looking out for your interest! When an association's membership represents a broad segment of the industry, their ability to represent you is diminished. Only granite fabricators are eligible for full membership in the USAGFA. Most granite associations promote the stone industry, this is important, but so are you, and it’s "you" that were looking out for.
USAGFA is your team of results-driven professionals, who bring extensive experience from the granite fabricating industry, as past executives, managers and fabricators we have dedicated our selves to creating advantages that will grow your bottom line. We truly understand the day-to-day challenges fabricators face and are eager to turn these challenges into opportunities that result in greater efficiency, productivity and profitability for our clients.
· The United States of America Granite Fabricators Association is the only national trade association that uniquely serves the needs and interests of the granite fabricator.
· Membership in the United States of America Granite Fabricators Association will pay for itself.
· Multi national corporations are buying small fabricators. Membership in the United States of America Granite Fabricators Association will ensure your ability to compete with multi national corporations.
· United States of America Granite Fabricators Association will use new technology to direct personally tailored, important and relevant information from the World Wide Web to your personal account. You will be the best informed business professional.
· United States of America Granite Fabricators Association members will receive exclusive discounted pricing on items you use every day.

Always, I am a nice guy. I will support ANY organization that is worth while and is geared to helping the fabrication sector of the industry.

I am not a restoration contractor. Been there done that, no thanks. I was once the restoration side of Marble Craft and Restoration (a LONG time ago). I have no desire to go back there again.

You don't have to go back. Just support an organization dedicated to making the resoration sector an ACTUAL part of the industry. You know as well as I that we get no respect. | |
