TBF Services – Stump Grinding May 15th, 2012
TBF Services is a family owned and operated business in the Mat-Su Valley. They specialize in stump grinding, removing unsightly tree stumps with no damage to the surrounding area.
Check out these before and after photos:
The machines fit through 36″ openings and excel at getting into tight spots, around plants, next to buildings, trails, at campsites, etc.
The Process:
The stump grinder removes a stump by grinding it into small chips while the stump is still in the ground. This leaves the foliage and the surrounding landscape untouched. After the each site is cleaned up, the chips are left in a neat pile or spread around for mulch depending upon your preference.
This process makes stump grinding a much more affordable and feasible way to remove stumps than excavation.
TBF Services will take any job, large or small! Call for a quote.

Colony Inn: A Piece of Historic Palmer Alaska February 16th, 2012
Colony Inn
325 East Elmwood Ave
Palmer, Ak 99645

In 1935, this building was used as a dorm to house single teachers and nurses. In 1970, the Salvation Army purchased the property to use for housing for the elderly. Later, a fire on the third floor closed the building and it was left empty. In 1993, Janet Kincaid purchased the building with a vision for restoration. Many layers of dirt and varnish later, this historic building is now known as the Colony Inn. The Colony Inn is proud to have been the recipient of the First Palmer Historical Award for preservation by the National Historic Register.
The Inn offers 12 rooms, each with a private bath, television, and wifi. The building was restored with an effort to preserve the history, but make practical renovations like new plumbing and windows. The Inn is furnished with antiques and many were purchased right here in Palmer at Cover Ups! Janet describes the atmosphere she has created as “olden days with modern amenities.”
The Inn Cafe is leased by Chef Pete Scott and offers lunch Monday through Friday and brunch on Sunday. I had the french dip for lunch with a side salad and it was delicious! The small menu offers a well-rounded, basic selection of food for everyone. The service was impressively quick and the staff was wonderful!
The Inn’s great room offers a nice place for gatherings such as weddings, meet and greets, and family or business events. The most recent event was a book signing for local author Eowyn Ivey. Some of the Inn’s most memorable events have been 50th wedding anniversary celebrations with couples who originally wed at the Inn and returned to celebrate again 50 years later!
Written in collaboration by Janet Kincaid and Amber Lanphier.

Keymaster Locksmith January 19th, 2012
George Costley
It was dark, windy, cold. But at least I was home. I got on the phone and after calling several numbers contacted George Costley from Keymaster. I was happy to find someone on my side of the valley. He took directions to my home and in a short time he and his wife pulled up in front of my house.
He was able to unlock my car with a tool that he invented himself, I was impressed and happily paid the $60 to get back into my running car. Needless to say, I’m more careful about my spare key these days.
Keymaster Locksmith can also make the new chip keys for the recent automobiles.
Give him a call at 907 746-5373, or email at [email protected]
