But that's the new concept behind Shine-A Blind, a small business owned by
Mark Stukey (STEW-key) of Bedford.
Stukey mostly cleans window blinds with something called ultrasonic
technology.
It uses sound waves that move through the water and create bubbles that
explode and remove all the dirt.
He's cleaning blinds at roughly seven dollars a pop.
Customers include everyone from homeowners to small business owners, and
large institutions.

IN Q=The main
((MARK STUKEY/SHINE A BLIND OF VA: THE MAIN REASON WAS FOR SCHOOLS AND
HOSPITALS AND I MEAN THIS IS A LEVEL OF CLEAN THAT THEY'VE NEVER HAD BEFORE AND
THERE'S NO REASON THAT THEY SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ENJOY IT NOW.))
SUPER=01-Mark Stukey/Shine A Blind of VA;

OUT Q=enjoy it now.

Stukey's been in business since September, after he left a job in retailing.
So far Shine-A Blind has 34 clients.
Stukey did not come up with this technology on his own.
He paid a licensing fee to own and operate the equipment.
He also points out that when he cleans electronic equipment like stereos
they're unplugged, and must dry out for a few days.

Last summer, Tim Austin watched his business go up in flames.
Five months later, he's busy rebuilding Doobie Shea (DOO-bee SHAY) studios
with a little help from his friends.
(----------------)

Doobie Shea has recorded some of the best- known names in bluegrass.
But on August 24th, lightning struck the studio and burned the building to
the ground.
SUPER=03-Franklin Co.;
Today, a new studio is under construction near Boones Mill... and the crew
includes some of the musicians who recorded with Austin before the fire.

IN Q=It was like the worst thing
((TIM AUSTIN/DOOBIE SHEA STUDIOS: IT WAS LIKE THE WORST THING THAT EVER COULD
HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU I GUESS IN BUSINESS. AFTER THE FIRE WE WERE TWO OR THREE
DAYS AT LEAST TRYING TO PICK UP THE PIECES OF WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO AND
IMMEDIATELY AFTER ABOUT A WEEK, "WE'VE GOT TO GET BACK."))
((GARY WAUGH/FIVE FOR THE GOSPEL: WE LEARN AS WE GO BACK IN HISTORY THAT A LOT
OF TIMES WHEN SOMEONE HAD A PROBLEM OR WAS BURNED OUT THAT THE NEIGHBORS SORT
OF CHIPPED IN AND CAME AROUND AND TRIED TO HELP GET BUILT BACK AND I THINK THAT
NEEDS TO BE DONE TODAY.))

While the construction isn't complete, Austin is already booking new
projects and he hopes to have Doobie Shea studios back in business by the end
of February.
