CJ receives Heinz Endowments grant

Construction Junction is extremely happy to share some wonderful news that we received just today!  A grant application we submitted to the Heinz Endowments for $300,000 has been APPROVED! 

This funding will support upgrades to our building as well as provide for strategic capital equipment needs.  For example, think heat in winter, a cleaner retail floor, demonstrated green building methods and an all around improved shopping experience.  Thank you Heinz Endowments.

The Heinz Endowments supports efforts to make southwestern Pennsylvania a premier place to live and work, a center of learning and educational excellence, and a home to diversity and inclusion.  Committed to helping its region thrive as a whole community -- economically, ecologically, educationally and culturally -- the foundation works within Pennsylvania and elsewhere in the nation to develop solutions to challenges that are national and even international in scope.  One of the largest and most onnovative independent philanthropic foundations in the country, the Endowments awarded more than $84 million in grants in 2007.

The CJ Buzz

CJ's pick up schedule is completely booked for the next few weeks.  Why is this buzz worthy?  Well it means that tons of stuff is on its way into the store.  Simply put... a packed pick up schedule = a packed store.

Remember... Construction Junction will be closed on Monday May 26th for the Memorial Day holiday.  We'll also be closing an hour early (at 4 pm), on Wednesday May 28th.  All of CJ's staff is headed to the Westin to celebrate our recently received environmental award and we need some time to spiff ourselves up!

CJ Q&A

Hi, I was wondering if you happened to have any wooden, or even metal porch swings - by themselves - we have a frame.  I don't know if you anwer emails like this one, but I missed store hours for calling - so If you are able to e back, great - otherwise I will call during those hours - when I get a chance. Thanks for your time - Becky A

Hi Becky.  We don't really ever get swingset swings... the kind one person sits on.  But we do, on occassion, get porch swings.  Usually they're made out of wood.  In fact, we have one in the store now, or at least we did as of yesterday (May 22, 2008) when I was in taking pictures for this very Blast.  Best of luck.  -- Cozmo
