DDN Services and DDN Mortgage Services will cease operations
Effective Monday, December 21st, 2009

DDN Services and DDN Mortgage Services regret to announce that due to market conditions in the construction lending industry, government intervention in the normal foreclosure process, and frivolous and baseless lawsuits filed against the company, we will cease operations effective Monday, December 21st, 2009.

All work completed as of Sunday, December 20th, 2009 will be returned to clients via the usual channels.   Any new orders or work in progress will unfortunately not be accepted or be able to be completed.   We will make every attempt to keep our website and the data housed on it up and available to clients through January 31st, 2010, though circumstances beyond our control may prevent us fulfilling this effort.

We appreciate the loyal patronage of our clients over the past seven years, as well as the excellent and professional service of the inspectors and contractors in our national network. We apologize in advance for the negative impact our demise may have on any of these groups, companies, or individuals.

Digital Draw Network and Effective December 21st, 2009,  DDN has closed.  See http://drawnet.com for more information.

The working title is Building Your Successful Handyman Business: A guide to starting and operating a profitable contracting business. Helping contractors be better business-people is my main goal in writing the guide and the guide is comprised of three parts concerned with starting and growing a home improvement business and becoming a great business person.
The parts include:
• Marketing and Sales
• Operations
• Finance

This new edition is based in some part on my previous publication (see www.buildhandymanbusiness.com) However, I have added a lot of new material and have changed the format. I want to find some experienced contractors willing to review the book and offer their constructive feedback on the contents.
