New contest – introducing the wow factor

They say that change is good. With that in mind, we think it’s time to change up our back page contest. Back when we launched the magazine we had “The Doh! Moment,” featuring readers’ on-the-job mistakes and the lessons they learned from them. Later, we had “Problem, Solved!” which featured readers’ ingenious workarounds to some of those little issues that constantly crop up on jobsites. And back in the February/March 2016 issue we introduced, “Work Smart, Not Hard,” that acknowledged the many ways readers have figured out to most efficiently go about their day.

In the February/March 2019 issue, we’re introducing our latest back page contest: “The Wow! Factor.” These are those situations you walk into and say to yourself, “Wow, what were they thinking?!?What’s the worst thing you’ve ever stumbled upon on a jobsite? And how did you fix it? Share your story (and some photos if you have them) and you could win a great prize.

Email your suggestions to Managing Editor Allan Britnell (allan@renocontractor.ca) or snail mail them to “The Wow Factor,” Renovation Contractor magazine, 37 Sandiford Dr., Ste. 404, Stouffville, Ont., L4A 3Z2.
