FREEPORT — Robert Smart of Building Smart in Freeport took third place in the National Nail’s CAMO Screw Off ! held at the Northeastern Retail Lumber Association LBM Expo in Providence, Rhode Island, in February.
Representing his dealer Hammond Lumber Company in Brunswick, where he first qualified, Smart battled nearly 30 other competitors in the deck fastening event to win a $500 cash prize. There were 42 contractors who qualified from local lumberyard events this past spring and summer.
During the event, finalists faced off in a series of speed competitions with the winner moving onto the next round.
“We couldn’t have planned a more successful event,” said W. Scott Baker, CEO, National Nail. “The competition was intense — everyone came to win, with many of the contractors practicing for months.”
