In the custom install business, we like to see ourselves as different from the mass-market Consumer Electronics channel. Whether your firm has an upscale retail storefront or is an appointment-only showroom and office, you take pains to present the image of expertise and professionalism that sets you apart from the T-shirt wearing box movers. Central to the idea that a custom design firm has greater competence than the mass-market retailer is the requirement that we are able to accomplish things that retail outlets can't. At the rate that technology evolves, it is a race to stay current with the trends in our industry. As we all know, businesses that were our bread and butter ten, five, or even one year ago are unlikely to remain as in-demand or profitable as they once were.

Older adults interested in a unique arrangement for affordable, independent living are invited to explore the Elder Cottage Rental Program in Tompkins County. Better Housing for Tompkins County rents small, modular homes to income-eligible seniors (60 and older) who wish to have them installed temporarily next to the family home of one of their adult children or other supportive relative living in Tompkins County, outside the City of Ithaca.
"The program is very popular with the seniors who use it, and their families," explains Andrew Piliero, Property Manager. "Best of all, the rent for each of the cottages is based on income, so they are affordable as well as handicapped-accessible."
The Cottages were the first of their kind to be sited in New York State in 1998.
