Back to work!

[Lenny]

Finally, after six months, I am back to work this week!
After completing this project last July ...

It took awhile before the next one was ready for cabinets and interior finish. In the past we would have several such projects overlapping each other.... Here's hoping it will be like that again someday! :wink:

Wow, that is fantastic work. It is beautiful. I always have wondered how those ceiling are made. If that was part of what you did. Every room is done so nicely. In Florida were I am from that detail of work is not usually done. Glad to here you are working again.
Also thank you for all your helpful comments on the site.

Thanks Tom!
I worked on the cabinets and seeing these photos yesterday was my first glimpse at the (nearly) finished product. I usually am in the shop and don't always get out to the site... We have a very talented crew .... Many details go into bringing it all together. As an example take note of the mutin bars on the oak cabinet and how they line up with the bars on the round window it surrounds.

 

[Lenny]

This is the one I was referring to ...


There was a lot going on in this area ... had to match the muntin bars of the round window with the glass doors of the cabinet. There are windows behind each upper cabinet space.

Thanks, Dave and Don!
I must say it is nice to have a reason to get up and go in the morning again! Right now it's just 4 days a week and not everyone got called back ... But it's a start.

Lenny, that's great to hear. Not working would be ok for a few weeks (maybe)
but 6 months...
Congrats and hoping for the best luck on your job!

Yeah John, it had it's moments early on ... and no one expected it would be this long ... Had a couple big jobs fall through at the last minute. The honey-do list kept me busy for awhile but with every trip to the lumber yard there was another $200 bill.

Lenny,
Thank you for giving us some details on the work. It is stuff I would never think of but it really bring the job together in harmony. Things are really picking up in the housing market if Florida. 4 days is good. Not perfect but still good.
