Part 1 in this issue dealt with effective management, setting goals, establishing procedural guidelines, and how to effectively deal with employees. • Jim Hart wiggled his way out of a tight spot. It seems he was hired by another fence company to install a job, which confused the customer. And we all know how the customer gets when he knows he doesn't know what's going on. • While the head count at the IFIA annual convention in Phoenix was down from the previous year, many exhibitors thought the exhibit was full of buyers riding a post-recession wave of optimism. Stories throughout the issue broke down the event, held in the Valley of the Sun. • Wood specialist Dick Phillipe submitted a report on fence compa- nies making headway into markets the average fencer was already set up to compete in — gazebos, decks and recreational products. • WFN contributing editor Herb Borner took us around in circles. This part of his series on estimating includ- ed how to measure parts of a circle, setting posts around a partial circle and the figuring of angles.

There's even a self-propelled lawn- mower named "Princess."
