When you’re running a WooCommerce store, we know you’re getting a lot of data sent your way. From orders to services required to customer data and accounting info, it’s easy to feel swamped by all the information your business is generating. Especially as your enterprise grows, it can be challenging to make time to get to everything. Thankfully, MyWorks QuickBooks Sync for WooCommerce can help you get a handle on all that output so that you have the time to enjoy the benefits of your growth – without the stress of constantly trying to get all your ducks in a row. We sat down with Sasha from Leisure Installs to understand how the MyWorks suite helps her manage her business’s growth.
Leisure Installs is an Arizona-based company that specializes in assembling pre-fabricated outdoor recreational equipment. Sasha and her team first started using WooCommerce to power their business in 2014, and their mission statement is simple: “you buy, we install.” The business is unique in that it works as both a service and retail space. The service aspect of their business arises through offering construction teams to customers to assemble products they’ve already bought in the comfort of their backyards. “So if you think of the gazebos, playsets, and pergolas that you see at C ostco, Sam’s Club, and Amazon,” Sasha says, “we fill that niche and take care of building those for you.” Alongside offering convenient installation services, Leisure Installs also sells playsets, basketball hoops, and trampolines for a few affiliated leisure brands. Leisure Installs works mainly on a ‘business to customer’ basis, with a few ‘business to business transactions in more public venues.
The WooCommerce workflow that Leisure Installs uses is relatively unique. Sasha defines their storefront as “kind of an interesting model.” This is because all of their services are productized. Their service offering, pricing, and turnaround time are based entirely on products that are generally sourced from outside the site. They’ve integrated website plugins to get a quote on their service offering based on the third-party product they have already purchased. “If you’re installing a product of this exact make and model, you can go on to our website and say that,” Sasha says. The company’s site is split into two sides: service offerings and retail. “Our website functions two different ways,” she says. “If you’re on the services side, you’re dealing with book-in plugins, and if you’re on the retail side, you’re dealing with store plugins.” When we asked if she had any difficulty setting this system up, she told us that “it’s intuitive on how you guys walk things through.”
Another aspect of the WooCommerce and MyWorks integration that the Leisure Installs team has found particularly useful is scalability. Having originally started as a side business, Leisure Installs became Sasha’s primary source of income in October 2019 when she left her 9-5 job. Since then, the company has seen a 200-400% turnover increase every month. They went from a $30k yearly income to turning over more than a quarter of a million dollars last year. Their growth hasn’t stopped, though! They’re on track to take in over half a million dollars this year!
“As we’ve grown, we’ve added a number of integrations,” Sasha says. The Leisure Installations site has grown with its business. Before Leisure Installations started using MyWorks to sync all of their order and customer data to QuickBooks, they ran their business through Google Calendar apps and manual correspondence. Sasha describes this process, laughing, as “bleh.”
When asked about the way MyWorks Sync has made her business easier to manage, she tells us that “everything now runs through the store.” Of her new order volume, she says that thanks to MyWorks, “I’ve got the process down. It all works. It works easily. It makes sense to me now.” When it comes to handling internal issues with orders, the system they have in place on their website directs complaints to the right website user without delay. “I know when something goes awry,” Sasha says, “what to go look at? What are all the problems? It’s one of the most critical components. If it’s not working, I need to know why.”
Leisure Installments has gone from a side-hustle to a triple-figure earning business within the space of a year. This is, in part, thanks to the ease of operations that our automatic syncing and customizable functionality has provided. Sasha says that “now we’ve just matured, and I don’t have the time to keep track of hundreds of customer’s orders and phone calls. The sync has been incredibly helpful.”
Maybe it’s time to help your business do the same? Even if your business model is complex or you’re anticipating significant growth, we have the solution for you. Schedule a demo call with us today so we can help you automate your accounting.

Since last year, the supply chain has had significant impact on the playground and recreation equipment suppliers along with just about every other industry across the supply chain. Increases in material costs, freight charges, and labor have caused our costs to significantly rise. Until recently, we have been able to absorb many of those charges without passing them along to our customers.

From shipping delays to inferior products, Leisure Installs has witnessed firsthand the impact of this lumber shortage. Read the article below to understand more about this issue.
New homes cost $36,000 more because of an epic shortage of lumber
BY MATT EGAN, CNN BUSINESS
(CNN) — As the pandemic crushed the US economy last spring, sawmills shut down lumber production to brace for a housing slump. The slump never arrived and now there isn’t enough lumber to feed the red-hot housing market. The shortage is delaying construction of badly needed new homes, complicating renovations of existing ones and causing sticker shock for buyers in what was already a scorching market. Random-length lumber futures hit a record high of $1,615 on Tuesday, a staggering sevenfold gain from the low in early April 2020. That’s a big deal because lumber is the most substantial supply that home builders buy. “I’ve never seen anything quite like this,” said Brant Chesson, the president and CEO of Homes By Dickerson, a Raleigh, North Carolina-based home builder. Chesson said his company would love to build more homes to meet surging demand but currently it can’t find the materials, or labor, to do so. “It’s absolutely contributing to a shortage of housing,” he said.
‘This can only last for so long’
And because the housing market is on fire, the lumber shortage is costing many prospective home buyers even more money. Surging lumber prices alone have pushed the price of an average new single-family home $35,872 higher, according to an analysis by the National Association of Home Builders. “While lumber prices have gone up, we have been able to pass it on to the consumer with higher prices for homes,” Jeffrey Mezger, the CEO of KB Home, told CNN Business. “And there is still far more demand than there is supply.” But builders can’t jack up prices forever. “This can only last for so long before affordability becomes pinched and demand pauses,” John Lovallo, lead home builders analyst at Bank of America, said in an email. The median sale price of existing homes surged by a record 17.2% in March to $329,100 — the highest since the National Association of Realtors began tracking prices in 1999.
Lumber is so hot, it’s being stolen
Independent builders, which lack the scale advantages of large construction companies like KB Home, are already feeling the pain. Tom McCarthy can’t finish building a home in Bergen County, New Jersey because of the lumber shortage. “There are pieces of wood that we can’t find,” said McCarthy, a real estate broker with the Chen Agency who also builds homes with his father on the side. McCarthy estimates the cost of lumber for the home will hit $70,000, nearly double the cost of building the exact same home in a nearby town just eight months ago. Some renters are also paying the price. The NAHB estimates that the lumber price spike has added nearly $12,000 to the market value of an average newly built multifamily home — translating to households paying an extra $119 per month to rent a new apartment. The shortage — and price boom — is so extreme that builders report having lumber and other raw materials stolen from their construction sites. “Theft has been huge in our market. We have tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars stolen during the year,” said Chesson, the North Carolina builder.
Saw mills can’t keep up with demand
Today’s shortage has roots in the previous housing boom. New home construction crashed after the housing bubble popped in the mid-2000s. That made sense because the market was badly oversupplied. But the downturn also drove countless sawmills out of business, leaving the industry unprepared for today’s surge in demand. And then Covid happened. Sawmills eased output last spring in anticipation of another bust and as they grappled with heath restrictions. “There was a great fear among sawmills to prepare for a downturn. When home buying surged, they could not open up capacity quickly enough,” said Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors. At the same time, demand for lumber is also being driven by a surge of renovations and expansions of existing homes. But contractors are having trouble finding and paying for lumber, creating another headache for consumers. “It’s a cost that our members can no longer shoulder the burden on,” said David Pekel, CEO of the National Association of the Remodeling Industry. “They have to pass the cost on to the homeowner.”
Industry calls on Biden to act
The lumber shortage is just the latest example of how the rapid economic recovery from the pandemic is pushing supply chains to the limit. Manufacturers are desperate for workers. Smartphone, auto and appliance production is being sidelined by a shortage of computer chips. And the lack of tanker truck drivers has raised the specter of gas stations running on empty this summer. In the case of lumber, the shortage is being amplified by tariffs. In one of the first shots fired during the Trump trade wars, the previous administration hit Canada in April 2017 with tariffs of up to 24% on lumber. Late last year, the Trump administration slashed those tariffs to 9%. The home building industry is now urging President Joe Biden to take further action. In a statement to CNN Business, NAHB Chairman Chuck Fowke called on the Biden administration to “temporarily remove” the 9% tariff on Canadian lumber “to help ease price volatility.” Fowke also urged the White House to “bring together interested stakeholders to hold a summit on lumber and building material supply chain issues to identify the causes and solutions for high prices and supply constraints.” The White House did not respond to a request for comment.
‘Sharp fall’ in lumber prices ahead?
The good news is that industry executives expect lumber production to catch up with demand — eventually. Samuel Burman, an assistant commodities economist, predicted in a recent note to clients that there will be a “sharp fall” in lumber prices over the next 18 months. “The mills are coming back online. I think we’re past the worst of it in terms of supply availability,” said Mezger, the KB Home CEO. Let’s hope so, because the market desperately needs more supply. “We have a housing shortage in America. The way to relieve that shortage is to build more homes,” said NAR’s Yun. “The housing market has created haves and have-nots. Home builders are smiling big, but first-time buyers are very demoralized.”
Businesses and business owners come in many different shapes and sizes. No business has the same path or goes down the same road in order to achieve success. While there is no right or wrong way to approach a business, there is one thing all business owners must have – a passion and strong belief in what they do. For Sasha Lewis, Owner of Leisure Installation Services, being a business owner was not on her radar. In fact, Leisure Installation Services began as a side hustle back in 2014.
A locally owned and operated business, Leisure Installation Services, focuses on the installation and sales of outdoor playground and entertainment equipment, gazebos, sheds, and much more. For five years, Sasha and her husband James remained committed to their business on a part-time basis as they were not ready to give up their full-time work. As parents, they knew that safety and security were paramount, so that part of the business came naturally. Sasha knew this was where her passion laid and wanted to dedicate herself to building a company that would be known for quality and integrity.
Dedicating nights and weekends was how they made it work. As business began to pick up steadily, Sasha decided it was time to devote herself fully to a business that fulfilled her. In 2019, Sasha left her full-time job and worked on continuing to expand Leisure Installation Services. Business was booming throughout the year, and the agreeable Arizona weather played a massive role in that. As business grew, so did their service offerings and need for additional staff. In March of 2020, the Lewis’ decided it was time to add an additional support staff member who could help with the installations.
Sasha immediately knew the perfect person was her nephew, who lived in Missouri. Little did she know that just two weeks after his arrival, COVID-19 would plague Phoenix, the state and country. Sasha was beginning to feel defeated with no foreseeable end to the devastation that the pandemic has on her business. While there was an increase in demand for her services, as families were now spending more time at work and were interested in playground and entertainment equipment, there was a massive shortage of lumber and materials, which caused a shortage in supply of equipment.
This further put Leisure Installation Services in a difficult situation. Unable to pay her nephew, Sasha was running out of time and resources to keep her business afloat. It wasn’t until she heard of the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) that she felt a glimmer of hope. Immediately, Sasha and James began to apply with their business bank. They completed the application and patiently waited to hear back. Unfortunately, they were rejected, to which Sasha felt that glimmer of hope quickly dim. She was heartbroken and frustrated that they would not reply or try to understand her business’s unique needs.
Shortly after, Sasha was referred to the Prestamos CDFI program at Chicanos For La Causa through a mentor-mentee relationship. In a completely serendipitous moment, Sasha also came across a post from Local First advocating for business owners to apply for the PPP through Prestamos, which she then knew was a sign of what her next steps were. She immediately went on the website and filled out the application. Once more, she waited patiently to hear back; only this time, the waiting was a matter of hours. She was quickly contacted by a Business Advisor from Prestamos who not only helped walk her through the process but also took the time to listen and understand the unique challenges and needs of Leisure Installation Services.
The whole process, from start to finish, took a total of ten days. And while the process was complex and complicated, it felt easy and smooth thanks to the customer service and attention to detail from the staff at Prestamos. Sasha felt the difference as she knew big institutions were dealing with high volumes. With Prestamos, it was different. “It was nice that someone made the extra efforts to help us out. We are the epitome of a small business, and without Prestamos, no one would’ve taken the time to help us complete this process.”, recalls Sasha.
Since receiving the PPP, the business has once more began to pick up. Not only are they booked up for service calls, Sasha and James also hired a business manager and installation expert to help out. Sasha is hopeful of what the future has in store for herself and Leisure Installation Services. She wakes up every morning looking forward to helping bring joy to families and children and working with families to make sure their children are safe while having fun.

When the weather is nice, there’s nothing better than watching your children playing and having fun. Having a playset in your backyard is a way for your family to enjoy the outdoors together while staying home. It doesn’t matter that the playset is a Gorilla, Backyard Discovery, KidKraft, or any other manufacturer, it’s an investment.
As a consumer, you’ve probably done your research when choosing the right playset or swing set for you and your family. This process can be timely and a little stressful so you want the playset to last. You now have your new playset, installed and ready to play on. What’s next? Keeping the playset in great condition and looking like new is important to increase its life.
WHY SEALING IS IMPORTANT
Sealing your wooden playset or swing set will protect it from the various outside elements. Also, most manufacturers require the playset to be sealed for the warranty. With your playset being exposed to the elements, many issues can arise as time goes on. Excessive heat and wind can dry out the wood, causing the pieces to become brittle. Rain and snow can also adversely affect the wood with time.
Sealing the playset will help to prevent mold, sun and water damage. Once the wood breaks down,it can cause injuries from splinters and worn areas It can also cause the playsetto be unstable if the wear is significant enough.
WHEN SHOULD THIS BE DONE
Leisure Installs recommend applying the seal on the day of installation. The seal does require up to 72 hours to dry depending on weather. The playset will not be able to be played on until it’s completely dry.
It can also be done in the future but requires additional steps and typically costs more since it requires two days to complete. If the sealant is not applied at time of installation, then the set must be pressure washed and allowed to dry completely before the sealant is applied. It should also be inspected for any cracks, damage, or splinters and be repaired. Up to72 hours of dry time is still required. This can put the set out of play for up to 5 days.
We know there’s a lot to consider but let Leisure Installs handle the process for you. We are here to help your family enjoy their playset or swing set for years to come.

If you’re like most people, you and your family are spending a lot more time outside and at home. What’s another great way for your family to all have fun? Get a playset or swing set to enjoy in your very own backyard! Right now everyone is looking for something to keep the kids and themselves busy. Families are getting outside to spend time together, taking the time to pursue hobbies, or completing more home DIY projects. Coupled with demand, wooden playset manufacturers such as Gorilla, Backyard Discovery, and KidKraft are dealing with unprecedented times. Here are some things to be watching for as you build your playset or swing set.
LUMBER QUALITY
The ability to be at home has had some interesting outcomes! One is we are facing a lumber shortage. This shortage is due in large part to an increase in DIY projects being done as many families are staying home to avoid the pandemic. This lumber shortage is greatly affecting the quality of lumber we are receiving with the playsets. In our 20 years of experience, this is the first time that we are seeing a high rate of parts arriving damaged or not to normal standards (in our opinion). This is affecting all manufacturers and all models, large and small.
INSPECT
When purchasing and assembling a new playset or swing set, it is very important that you examine all the pieces by unpacking first. Examine the posts for deep cracks and splits
(some surface cracks and blemishes are expected). If your main support posts or swing beam has deep cracks then the structural integrity of the playset could be impacted. Warping is when the wood is slightly bent and is common with many sets. Many times the piece can be used if it can still be attached. However, it is important to take time with these pieces during assembly to avoid potential splits. Manufacturers typically cover defects in wood and replace them without charge. Failure to inspect the pieces could cause the playset to become unsafe for your family’s use and could lead to injury in the future.
HAVE PATIENCE
We understand that everyone is excited about having a new playset for their children’s enjoyment. We would be doing you a disservice to continue to assemble the structure without waiting on the replacement parts. These are frustrating times and we ask that you be kind to your installer, even if that installer is yourself.
Many manufacturers have halted production and are now just opening back up. Know that Leisure Installs are taking preorders and will do everything possible to help you find the perfect structure to meet your family’s needs. We install playsets or swingsets purchased by you as well as other structures including basketball goals, sheds, and gazebos.
While things are uncertain, let us take the time to enjoy what we have and have some fun.
What do you need to know before installing a playset yourself? When to hire a professional?
For over 20 years, my husband and I have been installing residential and commercial playsets in the Midwest and Arizona. During this time, I have learned a lot about playset quality, price points, and structural durability.
There are many but a few of the most common wooden residential playset brands are Congo, Backyard Adventures, Cedar Summit by KidKraft, and Backyard Discovery. Lifetime has some great playsets as well but are typically constructed of metal and plastic materials.
All of the brands offer sets along the spectrum of price and quality but there are a few items to consider before buying a playset for your backyard.
Here are a few things you need to think about before buying the playset:
CONSTRUCTION
More modestly priced playsets use slightly smaller sized corner posts and swing beams. The pieces that make up the sides, tower, and the rest of the playset comes in many smaller, need to assemble pieces. The manufacturer is passing the value savings of the playset down to the assembly through greater deconstruction for shipping. We have noticed the wood has a greater likelihood of splitting during assembly. Investing in a quality playset will ensure you get your money’s worth! The swing beam is always the biggest give-a-way on quality and durability. It is a great day when the box is open and 4×6 swing beam is there! It also means sturdy 4×4 corner posts. We have noticed that the retail price for playsets with these larger parts is slightly higher but it is worth every single penny. Many more affordable options use a 2×6 for the swing bean, 2×4 corner posts and twice as many pieces to put together. Some actually have you install a board to make it look like a 4×4! Typically, cheaper playsets cost more to install as it takes twice the work. If you have a few older children or want to swing with your kids it is important to have a sturdy swing beam. It just isn’t strong enough. Invest in a good product and check the construction!
ROOF STYLE
Playsets typically have two primary roof styles: vinyl or wood. For the most part the roof style is preferentially based on look and price point. Vinyl roofs may be more likely to be lost in a strong wind or heavy rain storm but are also easily replaceable. If you do lose one often the local hardware store will have a generic replacement vinyl roof. Wood roofs offer great coverage and will help to protect the deck even longer against sun and weather damage but will require more stain during maintenance. Many modes have add-on features such as a play chimney, working shutters, and window cutouts!
SPACE
I cannot tell you how many jobs we have had to tell parents we could not do until the yard was better prepared. If the playset’s physical footprint is 16′ by 20′ you actually need 22′ by 26′ of space to meet the recommended 6′ play safety zone standard. We will not install your playset if there happens to be a large rock under the swings or put the playset 2 feet away from a the cinder-block wall. Decorative trim pavers are also often an issue for safety and need to be removed or replaced with rubber ones. We understand not every yard will have exactly 6′ on all sides but we can help you find the safest place with a reasonable amount of safety zone. If you have a small space there are still many options for you to pick from. For example, Backyard Discovery has several playsets with a smaller footprint.
LEVEL YARD
A level play area is important for building your playset. A difference of even an inch is significant and can delay the installation of your playset. For most playsets, the current method of manufacturing assumes installation on a level ground. The playsets cannot be adjusted or modified from the manufacturer’s guidelines nor would you want to make modifications. However, in many cases, the playset can be trenched in the ground but that increases the likelihood of wood rot and will need greater care and attention. Most often we ask you to work with your landscaper to prepare the area to avoid damage to sprinkler lines. Every part of the country has different issues to consider. Spend time preparing the area properly for the safest play zone for your kids!
MAINTENANCE
If you buy a quality set, you can double if not triple the life of the playset with regular maintenance and stain. Hot summers, storms and heavy winds are rough for wooden playsets. Weather sealant every two years will do wonders to protect the life and longevity and look of a playset. If you miss a few years, a solid stain such as Behr’s DeckOver fills in cracks and reduces splinters. It is also important to regularly check the bolts and hardware for the swings and other activities. These can loosen over time with normal wear and tear. We are also noticing significant damage to the base of many playsets due to lawnmowers and weed eaters. These will wear down the structural frame of your playset and cause it to need major repairs or just tossed in the trash.
PLAY SURFACE
It is always recommended to add a protective layer or surface for your playset. Rubber playground (6″ depth) mulch is a great option and highly recommended. Pine playground mulch (9″ depth) is also another great surface option for the play area. This helps protect children in case of a fall and minimize the risk of injury. There are a number of options available from a mulch like product to a cushioned play pad. A concrete pad or landscape gravel are never a suitable option as a play surface. Minimizing the risk of head injury is so important and your play surface is a big part of creating a safe place for kids to play.
SHADE
The wood typically does not get hot to the touch but the hardware, plastic slides, swings and monkey bars can in direct sunlight. Look for areas of shade if possible. If needed, a solar shade is a nice addition to increase the hours of play. If you plan to install the playset on artificial grass with hours of direct sunlight…it gets HOT to the touch! Installing playsets on artificial grass means I will spend the day burning myself every time I have to build something on the ground. We bring shade tent just to keep the temperature of the hardware and materials down so we can hold them to install.

Our children are now grown but we have many great memories of our backyard playset, jumping on the trampoline and shooting hoops. Thank you for allowing us to help your family create lasting memories too.
The modest metal swing sets of the past have been replaced by play structures made of lumber with intricate accessories like rock-climbing walls, spiral slides, bridges and skybox play decks. Modern play structures, like Gorilla play sets, start at $1,000 for a very basic model and can reach $10,000, depending on brand and add-ons. Needless to say, a swing set is a significant investment for your home and your children’s development.

It is also important to regularly check the bolts and hardware for the swings and other activities. These can loosen over time with normal wear and tear. We are also noticing significant damage to the base of many playsets due to lawnmowers and weed eaters. These will wear down the structural frame of your playset and cause it to need major repairs or just tossed in the trash.
