How you can help create over 300 new jobs in Douglas County.

   For those that might be able to make it, I'm doing a presentation at the Tri-City Lions Club this evening. In it I'm going to show how a small shift in spending habits can have a profound effect on our local economy. When we add up all of the commerce in Douglas County excluding public spending, there is over $3.7B. I'm going to show how we can leverage that money into more than 300 jobs. No Politics, no infrastructure spending, no waiting. This is something we can do today!

Free equipment maintenance and rental equipment classes coming soon!

    We've been brainstorming some idea's to help bring more value to our customers. A thought that continually came to the top is to offer free classes on both small engine powered equipment maintenance, and how to use our rental equipment on a mock project.

    The small engine maintenace class will start by going over basic small engine maintenance, we plan to cover the following;

• Checking and changing oil
• Checking air filters and identify how to clean each type of serviceable filter
• Changing spark plugs, checking spark condition and plug gap
• Checking pull cord condition
• We will then discuss some of the more common repairs we do in our shop.

Following the basic engine maintenance class we're going to dig into specifics around certain equipment. Our thoughts so far are;

• Lawn mowers, both riding and walk behind.
• Portable generators
• Pressure washers
• Hand held equipment including string trimmers, chain saws, blowers, and hedge trimmers.

   We're open to other idea's as well, to offer or request something particular you can comment at our facebook page for Tim Allen Equipment, call 541-672-3409, or stop by and share your thoughts.

For our rental equipment we're going to be offering classes revolving around a project. Idea's so far include;

• A custom stone patio
• Gardening and soil preparation
• Trenching for landscape irrigation
• Hard floor refinishing
• Carpet installation

    The idea here is to help the customer guage the complexity of a project, and to get some hands on equipment familiarity on our time rather than having to learn it on your time at the project site. To comment or make a request for a project you can visit our Roseburg Rental facebook page, call 541-492-RENT (7368), or stop by and share your thoughts.

   All of these classes will be free and open to the general public. The value to the community wiill be greatest with your input, so please feel free to talk to us about these.
