We Have a Winner!
Awhile back, FPS launched a contest, with a stellar prize – one of my favorite new gadgets, called eTape. I asked you to describe a time you felt accomplished after a home-improvement project.
I was particularly taken with this entry from Jules, who wrote:
“My first home project was at 19 years old in my first apartment. Needless to say I didn’t have two cents to my name. I made a “TV console/bookcase” from found boards, milk crates, and bricks. It was very satisfying with good proportions and when full of books and other stuff looked kind of great. I remember my boyfriend at the time exclaiming that he loved that I made something for myself, by myself. He was on point. I wasn’t prone to taking very good care of myself and this was a big happening for me. My sense of wellbeing soared. Now 3 decades later, this still makes me smile.”
A big thanks to all who entered, and for all your home-improvement prowess. Congratulations to Jules. And check out eTape. It’s a cool company with a wonderful product.

Wow, I’m thrilled. Thanks so much Wendy. Somewhat technically challenged, I may need a lesson in using this gadget.
Ok. I’m here to help.
Jules:
Congrats on winning the eTape16, we are delighted that you now have the only digital tape measure in the market.
It should make measuring, simple, reliable and accurate. I direct you to our webstie http://www.etape16.com if you need to view our “how to video” and to access our user instructions. Feedback from the market is we need to print our paper instructions “bigger” and we are in the process of doing so.
Welcome to reach out to us if there is any addition information you need.
Congrats,
Dave eTape16
Dave, you’re the greatest. And Jules, what an offer!
Wendy and Dave,
Thank you both! I’ve already checked out the etape website and feel more confident. Have to say several of my friends are very intrigued, so you may have questions and hopefully more sales. Your website is great and customer friendly, another plus. I’m looking forward to getting started with my etape.
Thanks again.
I look forward to hearing about your first measuring experience.
