"I have had the opportunity to use Copper Tech products on many projects, from their fully functional framed and stylish bay roof cap to their gorgeous intricate and ornate kitchen ventilating hoods. They have a huge selection of product and if there is a one of a kind project that is required, Greg Nielson?s fine metal working and artistic qualities can make it happen. I have worked with Greg for over ten years and have always had stress free, no call backs, on time, quality built projects from Copper Tech. Many times Greg?s construction experience has helped to avoid engineering and scheduling conflicts. I highly recommend Copper Tech-if it is worth doing, it is worth doing right. Service Category: Fine copper metal work Year first hired: 2000 (hired more than once) Top Qualities: Great Results, Expert, On Time "
Darrell Thomas
Project Manager, Robert Nelson Construction"
"Copper Tech has been a dream to work with. Not only was the quality of their craftsmanship of the highest caliber, their service was phenomenal. The finished products look fantastic and really add a unique, special quality to the aesthetic of our home. All of this at a very affordable price. I would happily recommend Copper Tech to anyone. "
David & Stephanie Nibley, March 20, 2011, Highland, UT
Home Owner
" I am a Contractor/Interior designer by trade. Greg from Copper Tech has been working with me on custom copper works throughout the years. The first custom hood he did for me was an absolute masterpiece! I was blown away! Over the years, he continuously impresses and finds ways to push the envelope. He is a visionary in the design and execution of his art. That is exactly what I consider his work: art! The level of perfection and craftsmanship Greg demonstrates is something rarely seen in this day and age. Seldom do you see tradesman of his caliber who can create such pieces of perfection with their own bare hands. I recommend to anyone who is thinking of doing a kitchen, a home, or anything that dealt with metal to let Greg tailor a piece of art in their home. Greg proves that he can infuse specific ideas of design from the homeowner into his pieces of art, which can make for an even more meaningful ornament! Thanks for your hard work! "
Jordan Praltley
General Contractor/Interior Designer Fine Design & Construct
"Our experience with Copper Tech Construction was AMAZING!!! They did a great job on our Copper Hood in our new Home. Greg had many design ideas to choose from and he was able to build my hood exactly the way we wanted it. We will definitely use Copper Tech when we build another new home. Thanks again for our beautiful copper hood!."  "

National History Fair Fundraiser - www.coppertech.biz

National History Fair Fundraiser - www.coppertech.biz

My name is Benjamin Swallow and I am a student at Lava Ridge Intermediate School in Saint George, Utah. I have been selected, in a statewide competition involving more than 72 students at regional and state levels, to represent Utah at the National History Day Contest at the University of Maryland, College Park, and June 12-16, 2011. As one of our delegates to this academic program, I am seeking support to represent my school and community in the group of Utahans at the national contest.
National History Day (NHD) is a nationally acclaimed, academic enrichment program that promotes the study of history in our schools. National History Day does for history what the Science Fair does for science. Each year students like me create exhibits, documentaries, performances, websites and papers about a topic that is related to the annual NHD theme. This year’s theme is “Debate and Diplomacy in History.” I did my (exhibit, paper, etc.) on “The Love Canal.” I found some really interesting information while doing my research. Did you know that there was a site that had toxic chemicals dumped on it and then a school and community were built on the same toxic site, later it was sold by the owner? Neither did I, until National History Day. I got to compete at the state level in (Salt Lake City, Utah on April 19th) and now I am in need of your help to go o
n to the national contest. I have enclosed the web address for my project for you to view, 21859668.nhd.weebly.com
My participation in the National History Day Contest depends on whether I can raise $1200 to $1500 in sponsorships. (The contest housing is $432.00 and my travel to Washington, DC will be $430.00, entrance fee $100.00, food around $240.00) Through my school and scholarship I currently have $300.00. I am hoping that you can help me with part of these costs. My contest costs must be paid no later than May 31, 2011.
I strongly believe that attending the National History Day Contest will contribute to my education in a way few experiences can. The national contest will be an exceptional learning opportunity for me, and I will have the chance tomeet and compete against students from all over the United States.
I will have a chaperon who will be attending with me, my mom. It will be a great opportunity for the two of us to attend and also to enjoy this once in a lifetime mom-and-son opportunity.
Thanks you!
Sincerely,
Benjamin LaDell Swallow

Free Deck-Designing Software
 
Software
It's almost a DIYer's rite of passage — to build a deck in springtime. A new deck is a dandy way to:
  • Celebrate great weather
  • Connect with family, friends and neighbors around a rewarding project
  • Anticipate a sweet summer of sodas, suds and sunsets from your new perch
But where to start? Create a dynamic design using a free software tool, Big Hammer Designer. It helps you to design the deck of your dreams; then it supplies the plans and material lists for building it.

Big Hammer displays a 3-D image of your design from almost every angle — even showing how the deck would look on your house. For inspiration, you can choose from 70 deck templates and customize one to fit your needs. Or you can design a deck with a pencil-style method of drawing — free-form! The program even lists the materials for your deck by classification, lumber size and grade.

Lime-Cilantro Pork Tacos

 Lime-Cilantro Pork Tacos
Use the same pan to brown the pork and make the rave-worthy sauce. Browning the pork improves its color, and the browned bits enrich the sauce's flavor. Add more jalapeño pepper if you enjoy spicy food.

    Keep in mind that it's the church's that are true not the people. We are all here to perfect ourselves and we all have our on demons to fight with, all we can do is try our best to do what we think is right and just deal with what the people around us do with their own lives in the mean time. I'm not trying to rock the boat here but what you guys are doing is no different than the people that bash other people no one has the right to judge anyone else for how they live their life, not even me. Not brain washed just a faith that there is a God and that he will some day save us from the mess we have all got ourselves into.

    Right or wrong I was born Catholic too. I know I will get my head ripped off over it but it was not a choice it was a birth right. I believe as well and I attend church, but I do not agree with every aspect of the religion either. I'm American but I don't agree with ever aspect of our political structure or all of our laws.

Easy Doughnuts

Easy Doughnuts

Easy Doughnuts  
Photo by: Photo: Yunhee Kim
  • YIELD: Makes 8 doughnuts, plus holes
  • COURSE: Breakfast/Brunch, Desserts

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 8-count package large refrigerated biscuits (such as Pillsbury Grands)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Preparation

Heat 1/2 cup of the oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat.

Place the biscuits on a cutting board. Using a 1-inch round cookie cutter or shot glass, cut a hole in the center of each biscuit, reserving the extra dough for "holes."

Test the heat of the oil by dipping the edge of a doughnut in the pan. When the oil is hot enough, the edge will bubble. Place 4 of the doughnuts and holes in the skillet and cook until golden brown, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain. Add the remaining oil to the skillet, reheat, and cook the remaining doughnuts and holes.

In a large bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Gently toss the warm doughnuts in the mixture a few at a time. Serve warm or at room temperature.
