Regards from holidays! I have had two weeks holiday. Still planning to have another two later on August or September if possible. These two weeks I have spent thinking of how to make TubeNet better. The increase of traffic in TubeNet has been incredible! Last 7 months made 50.000 new hits. You don't need to be in marketing business at all for figuring out that this is getting a big number within Tube Business.

Tube & Pipe Business is not something like McDonnalds or CNN with millions of hits. Nope. Here only few good inquiries can make a one single sale that makes it all worth of. Sometimes, that is not too easy to understand.

150.000 hits on TubeNet

So, You really want to know what I have been doing on my holiday? I built a Garage! In Laihia I am living in residential area where it's pretty common to build a separate garage if you run out of storage space at your house. It was my turn now.

My friends, I can tell you now from experience that I really don't have any future as a carpenter. Been hammering my fingers so many times that sometimes typing a keyboard was painful. No need to mention about my neighbors who must have had a good time when listening my swearing when I somehow got hurt. Anyhow, the garage is now ready and my life as a carpenter is over.

It was nice to see that the milestone of 150.000 hits was broken some days ago. This means that it took only some 7 months to make 50.000 hits more! What's even better, it only seems that the traffic keeps on increasing when new visitors are entering to TubeNet for the first time.

This is all that I wanted to say this time. I wish happy holidays for all of you who are soon starting yours. Drive safely!
