How a $12 Alarm Clock Revealed the Secret to Meeting Your Deadlines (And Why It Matters for Your Next Fencing Project)
Something strange happened in my office this week...
I bought an old-school analog alarm clock. You know, the kind with actual hands that go 'round and 'round. Green, retro, sitting on little ball feet—absolutely charming.
The Unexpected Lesson
The original plan? Keep it by my bed to check the time when I wake up at night.
But there was one slight problem...
No backlight. Can't see a darn thing at 3 AM. Complete waste of money, right?
Wrong.
Because when I brought it downstairs to my office (before shipping it back), something downright magical happened.
I placed that little green clock where I could see it while working. And suddenly, watching that second hand sweep around the face—tick, tick, tick—hit me like a ton of bricks.
Time. Is. Always. Moving.
And we never truly appreciate that with our digital displays that just... sit there. Silent. Unmoving.
But that relentless second hand? It's a constant reminder that time waits for no one—especially when you've got project deadlines breathing down your neck.
The One Resource More Valuable Than Premium Wire Mesh
Which got me thinking about all the fencing projects we help with at Louis Page...
Those DOT projects, zoo enclosures, and solar farms don't build themselves. And they certainly don't wait around while supplies are delayed or specifications get mixed up.
That's why at Louis Page, we've built our entire operation around one simple truth:
YOUR deadlines matter to US.
Terry and Jeff move mountains to ensure your wire mesh and plastic netting arrive precisely when you need them—not a day late.
The Louis Page Difference
So here's my challenge to you:
Next time you call Terry about your fencing project, make your deadline crystal clear. Tell her exactly when you need those materials on site. Be specific.
Because, unlike my little green clock that's just sitting there looking pretty, Terry's clock is synchronized with yours—and she'll make darn sure everything arrives right on schedule.
That's the Louis Page difference.
