Concrete Shaving Gallery

Here are some examples of different sidewalk shaving jobs, where we repaired concrete sidewalks and driveways with this process.

We have specialized equipment that shaves off the concrete efficiently, removing trip hazards from concrete areas such as sidewalk stones raised by tree roots. 

Shaving concrete to match the level of surrounding concrete is a simple way to remove trip hazards and improve drainage immediately. Shaving jobs are very quick, and the area is immediately available for use when we are finished – unlike fresh concrete, you can use the area immediately. 

We also offer caulking to help keep the elements out of the cracks between stones, we often finish sidewalk shaving jobs with a final caulking job.  

SIDEWALK SHAVING FOR SAFETY:

Insurance rates are calculated based on risk factors of a given property. Removing Trip Hazards greatly reduces the trip/fall risk factor, thereby greatly reducing your Liability, legal fees, court costs and settlement expenses.

“A possessor of premises has a duty to use reasonable care to maintain the premises in a safe condition and a duty to use reasonable care to learn of the existence of any dangerous or unsafe conditions on said premises that could cause harm to anyone” – Liability Lawyers of Orange County, CA

Instead of the Costly Expense of Replacement, or the Costly Liability if someone were to be injured on the property, consider the benefits of concrete shaving.

Atlas Concrete Solutions provides complete accountability and documentation for all hazards removed.

All Trip Hazards removed comply with the Federal Americans with Disabilities Act, and we will provide a Warranty of work according to these standards.

• Trip Hazard Repairs

Trip Hazard Repair with Infrared Patching

A trip hazard is usually caused by an uneven section of pavement where asphalt has either settled, has a lip, or does not meet local municipal or national Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Tripping of any kind can seriously increase your liability as a property manager or owner, so swift repair is advised before your bottom line is significantly affected.

Infrared asphalt patching is an easy way to either raise asphalt to meet evenly, such as at a sidewalk entrance or raise an area that has settled over time, causing depressions.  It’s a quick, cost-effective, permanent pavement repair solution for trip hazards.  Over time, we have proven that our infrared patching system is the best method to help eliminate trip hazard liabilities for homeowner and condominium communities, office buildings, commercial shopping centers, and more.

One of our Pothole Heroes experts can thoroughly inspect your pavement for any areas with uneven transitions that can cause tripping. Generally, if there is a lip or transition over ½” inch, it is considered a trip hazard and should be remedied to avoid liability.

What is the Cost of a Trip Hazard Injury?

There has been a virtual epidemic of Slip and Fall liability claims in Florida and across the nation in the past few years. With average incident costs now well over $20,000, you need to ensure your asphalt, and concrete pavement is in good shape to help minimize your liability exposure and maintain coverage with your insurance carrier.

According to the National Floor Safety Institute: Falls account for over 8 million hospital emergency room visits, representing the leading cause of visits (21.3%). Slips and falls account for over 1 million visits or 12% of total falls.

Fractures are the most severe consequences of falls and occur in 5% of all people who fall.

And according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC): The average cost of a slip and fall accident is $30,000 to $40,000

Customer Testimonials

I have used module master on 2 occasions for my 2004 Chevy Suburban. The first time for the ABS module and the second time for the instrument cluster. In both cases both were repaired and returned quickly, both worked perfectly. I recommend module master without any reservations! Mike D. / Long Beach, CA

I sent Module Masters an instrument cluster to get repaired that had an ignition off draw which was not the normal gauge problems that GM clusters have. They fixed it and rebuilt it and it is working great now. I couldn’t be happier!! They have great communication and very knowledgeable. THANKS!! Jesse K. / K-Tech Automotive

You folks have found the right blend of customer service and quality workmanship at a reasonable price. American trained craftsmen are the only way to go for us in this segment of the auto parts repair industry. ABS Automotive | San Mateo, CA

My motorcycle ABS unit quit. Bought a used one off the web, sent to Module Master, they sent it back with the note that it was in perfect working order with NO Charge. I installed it and it works! How wonderful to experience old school customer service, honesty, and integrity. I am sending the faulty one for repair today! Awesome! Wonderful! Stuart D. | Atlanta, GA

Just a short note to thank Gavin and his team at Module Masters. Just received my second front seat ECU module for my Bentley, fully restored to original operating condition. Incredibly fast service and a massive saving over new factory parts, I literally saved hundreds of dollars!! I highly recommend Module Master and will certainly use their services again for future projects. Ken W.

‘A Gentleman in Moscow’ Creators Explain That Ambiguous ‘Fairytale’ Ending

Spoiler Alert

A Gentleman in Moscow

[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for the  A Gentleman in Moscow finale.]

A Gentleman in Moscow ‘s series finale honored its source material with an ambiguous ending. The episode, which aired on Sunday, May 19 on Showtime , revealed what happened after Count Alexander Rostov ( Ewan McGregor ), Anna ( Mary Elizabeth Winstead ), Sofia ( Beau Gadsdon ), and the rest of their friends at the Hotel Metropol launched their plan to get Sofia out of Russia. This also led to Rostov walking out of the hotel’s front doors — an act that’s been paired with the threat of death for decades as he carried out his house arrest in the high-end hotel.

After much planning, Sofia’s school trip became the catalyst for her escape in Season 1 Episode 8, “Adieu.” While some roadblocks set her back and threatened her safe departure, the plan worked out in the end. The signal — every phone in the Metropol lobby going off in quick succession — was delivered and the Count knew his daughter was safe. (Sofia was the daughter of Nina, Alexander’s niece-like companion who grew up at the Metropol. The count took Sofia in as his own after Nina’s presumed death, and Anna became her de facto mother.)

Sofia’s journey out of Moscow is the only one we see onscreen. Count Rostov, Anna, and Mishka’s ( Fehinti Balogun ) journeys after leaving the hotel for the last time were not shown. And like in Amor Towles ‘ best-selling book of the same name, we never find out what really happened to the Count and Anna in the end. We did, however, see the couple one last time in the final frame.

The final moments of  A Gentleman in Moscow show what appears to be one of Sofia’s memories, filmed just like the memory flashbacks from the Count’s point of view that viewers saw all season. Only this time, there are a few hints that indicate this is only a figment of Sofia’s imagination, not something that actually happens. In Towles’ book, there’s a brief passage hinting that Alexander made it back to his ancestral home and met Anna there. Sofia’s imagination in the finale takes things a step further by actually showing the Count and Anna together working peacefully outside of a small cottage.

We know this to be a fantasy because of the black apples (a reference to the family legend the Count would tell his hotel friends) and Sofia’s narration. The apple story said that a person could start their life anew if they were to find these “apples as black as coal.” A grown Sofia is heard saying that she never saw Alexander and Anna again after escaping to America.

Alexander, Anna, and Sofia plan Sofia’s escape to America (Ben Blackall / Paramount+ With Showtime)

“I discovered that Papa had escaped the hotel, but what happened after remains a mystery,” Sofia says. “I like to imagine [Alexander and Anna] finally free, living out the rest of their lives together. They gave me the greatest gift of life. I’ll keep them in my heart. Always.”

The ending was meant to be ambiguous like the book.

“It was about for us, allowing space for the viewer to perhaps decide for themselves what happened and giving them some ownership in that moment rather than trying to be too polemic or didactic about it,” showrunner and executive producer Ben Vanstone tells TV Insider. “We wanted to give some room so people could go away and be left thinking about the story a little bit rather than just necessarily getting everything they want.”

Why Ewan McGregor & Mary Elizabeth Winstead Wanted to Do 'A Gentleman in Moscow' Together

Director Sam Miller says they wanted a “fairytale” feel for the final moments, even though it’s not an explicitly happy ending.

“The key to that was Sofia’s imagination, playing into how Sofia might have imagined the story to have ended,” Miller explains. “That’s what gives it its slight fairytale quality.”

The creative team set out to recreate the feeling of reading Towles’ book when creating this series.

“I think what we wanted to do with the ending was try and capture the same feeling you have in the book. For me, it’s about the emotion of that moment rather than necessarily what happens,” Vanstone explains, adding that his personal experience reading the book produced that same feeling of wonder and ambiguity, but he also walked away feeling that the story was still complete regardless of it ending with a mystery.

“You finish it and it’s not entirely clear. You kind of get a sense of it,” Vanstone says. “And it also is a sum of more than its parts when it all comes together at that end point. It reminded me of One Hundred Years of Solitude as well in some ways, that sort of ending where it’s sort of a magic to it. So it’s all about capturing that.”

It is satisfying to see the POV memory motifs flipped into Sofia’s imagination. Those flashbacks were used as a plot device to show Alexander’s painful memories as he reflected on his life during imprisonment. In the final moments, we get to see him happy with the love of his life as they watch their daughter walk towards them. It’s a fantasy, but one worth showing. Miller explains how this memory flashback idea took root, saying it was something they got “very excited” about “very early in the development” of the limited series.

“We got very excited by the idea that the Count is reaching for his memories,” Miller explains. “One thing you do as soon as you’re cut off from your day-to-day, as soon as you’re encased like that, is you start to analyze what’s happened to you and look at all the things in your past. So we were trying to find a filming style that wasn’t too narratively driven, but could summon the feelings and the emotions that you have when you think about yourself as 6 years old or 10 years old or 18 years old.”

“So we try to make them very emotional and very subjective, so they’re all shot from the Count’s point of view,” he continues. “I think it gives them a real special place within the drama in a sense because it’s not telling you the story’s moving on, but it’s giving you real insight into what the Count’s experiencing and how he feels about himself and how he tries to work out what’s going on.”

Towles says it’s “a great example of how they’ve taken the written word and reinterpreted it for the visual medium.”

“As the writer, I couldn’t create that experience,” Towles tells TV Insider. “When you see those flashbacks, because they’re from the Count’s point of view, it’s like when we have a dream or when we have a memory, we don’t see ourselves in the dream or the memory. We see what we’re watching. And so for the viewer, you’re going to have this feeling of being in his position in this dreamlike moment, and that’s a visual experience that I couldn’t create in writing. The two art forms have their different advantages, and you’re trying to use the advantage of one to amplify the strengths of the other.”

“I think it was all there in the novel as well that you would get a sense of the Count’s previous life and his backstory, but we had to find a way to present that visually,” adds Vanstone. “So again, it’s about taking the novel and what’s there and making it work for television.”

Broken Winds Repair

Welcome to broken winds.

Woodwind and Brasswind Repair

Schedule an appointment today!

My name is Matt Evavold, and I have been repairing Woodwinds and Brasswinds since becoming certified by Renton Technical College in Band Instrument Repair Technology in 2005. I repaired Band Instruments at Keeney Bros. Music for fifteen years until going out on my own in September of 2020. The shop is located here in my home in Moscow, Idaho.

I truly love making an instrument play to it’s fullest potential. I always strive to give customers options on what repairs they would like to have completed, taking the skill level of the player into consideration, and won’t do any work that hasn’t been pre-approved.

Safety and concern for everyone’s health and is my highest priority. With everyone’s health in mind, I use my own mouthpieces when test-playing, and sanitize the necks/leadpipes with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol. We are fully vaccinated, but please let me know if you would like me to wear a mask when dropping off/picking up instruments. Please refrain from coming to the shop if you or anyone in your family currently have a cold.

I am located at 628 N. Adams St., Moscow, Idaho. Please get in touch to schedule an appointment!
