It was great to have a break, but the holidays are over and it is time to focus on the new semester here at the Collision Repair Program at Butler. The first year students are going to start with one of my favorite subjects, which is auto estimating. The second year student are going to continue their paint gun and spraying techniques. It is going to be a very busy semester for the 2nd year students. We already have enough live worked lined up for the entire semester. We will continue writing estimate so they can gain the experience of estimate writing, but I do not see how we could possibly fit another job in at this point. We have some really good jobs lined up. Dodge Challenger with door skins to be replace, Dodge Pick-Up with front end damage, S-10 with front end damage, Mustang, Ford Pick-up…..it’s going to be busy. I see this every year. We get busy and before we know it, my class will be walking across the graduation stage.

With that said, enjoy the rest of the break, as when you all return, we’re going to hit the floor running. See you all on January 19, 2010.
