Ramsey job continued

We were busy putting the finishing touches on the cabinets for Ramsey today.  I am posting the photos of the red island.  Yes....I did say red.  Once it all comes together with the black cabinets and the granite countertop it will be fantastic.  The granite tops will be installed on Friday, and I can get the photos next week. 

Craig and Eric will be installing the Ramsey cabinets tomorrow (Tues.).  Wednesday they will be working in Kingston installing a countertop and back to the shop working on some odds and ends. 

In the shop Tim and Eric H. will be working on the parts for Milner which is "rustic" cherry.  Tracy and Stan will be working toward building the Milner job getting the shelves, drawers and trim ready.  As always Bill and Jerry will be finishing (top coating) any and all parts we send out to them!

I am still on the look-out for the knobs that go with the Franks vanity.  Don't you just love it when you can't quite remember ANYTHING!

Still in the works are the Holder, Koprince and Goldston jobs.  The weather is getting nasty....so we will be getting bogged down on our sealing and top coat finish. 

By the way....do not pay attention to the date on the pictures.  I have been too lazy to change the date on my camera for about 2 years.  So it is not going to get done any time soon.

See you on Wednesday.....

Overtime work

We had a break for Thanksgiving on Thursday, and then back to work on Friday.  We are busy finishing up the Ramsey cabinets as well as the Bornhoeft and Endsley cabinets. 

I am posting the pictures of the Ramsey job, and a vanity we completed for Franks.  We had a few days of nasty weather, but the sky is beautiful today with more nice days ahead.  Hopefully we will be ready to install the cabinets for Ramsey Tuesday or Wednesday.  Delivery of the Bornhoeft cabinets will be late next week, and install the cabinets for Endsley on Friday.

We will be starting construction of the cabinets for Holder and Milner on Monday.  The cabinets for Holder are hickory wood with a golden pecan stain.  The cabinets for Milner are "rustic" cherry with a clear finish.

Well...we are still munching on cookies, ham, anything else leftover from Thanksgiving.  I finally put the Halloween decor away @ the office and got the Christmas stuff out.  I got caught up on my files.  It was getting to be about 12" high so I figured it was about time!

Next post will be pictures of the Ramsey install....

Cabinet install today

There is nothing quite like driving 30 minutes in the pouring rain to get to your jobsite, and you are already 1 hour late.  We did make it....got set up and got to work.  I am posting pictures from today's activity.  Use your imagination because there were other subs in the house along with the customer, and basically progess is messy!  We did get finished and the countertops will be coming soon after they measure tomorrow.  Customer was happy after some minor adjustments here and there.  A special thank you to Craig and Eric for all the hard work.

We picked up a turkey to deep fry at work tomorrow.  By the way...we have no idea how long it takes a 13 lb. turkey to thaw, but hopefully less than 20 hours.  I have no clue how the process of the deep fry works, but Eric (installer) will be taking care of the details.  So we will be having a little pre-Thanksgiving celebration tomorrow at work.  We deserve a little down time.

We have been busy in the shop working on the Endsley job and the Ramsey job.  Ramsey will be installed next week, and Endsley by the end of next week.  We have alot ahead of us on the Ramsey job.  Please say a little prayer for us.  We may have to squeeze in a little weekend overtime, but we will pull it off!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Getting ready for the holidays!

We have been overwhelmed with so many new jobs this fall.  Most of them are kitchen remodel with just a few new homes mixed in.  We have seen a change in the number of new homes being built in Roane, Anderson, Loudon and Knox Counties.  Homeowners are sprucing up, and increasing the value of their existing homes.

With Thanksgiving right around the corner we busy installing the cabinets for a new home in the Claxton area. The style is traditional Cherry raised panel with a custom mixed stain. Hopefully I can get the photos up by the end of the week.  We have 3 jobs in production.  Bornhoeft job is hickory with a provencial stain.  Koprince job is maple - off white paint with the island in a pale green.  Ramsey job is maple with black paint and a burnt red island.  Up next is Holder job which will be hickory with a golden pecan stain.

The guys in the shop have been greatful for the mild weather that we have had this November.  Hopefully it will stay that way so we can stay on schedule.  However....a few snow days would be fun!! 

I have good intentions to get the photos on here over the Thanksgiving holidays.  I know customers, employees, family and friends will enjoy the view!!!
