Two exciting happenings today. First, the new (old) treads for the mezzanine stairs are now in. The wood came from some of the old heart pine beams that came out…nice to reuse them and they look great. Second, the kitchen cabinets that Matt Decell and crew have been working on also arrived. They started installing […]

The other day the communal sink arrived. The thing is giant…a bit over 6 feet long…and was a burden to get upstairs. It will be mounted on a heavy wood frame, and we’ll add some river rocks in the bottom of it (for added weight?).

They look great with the new […]

Comments Off on Let there be light
At long last, the glass wall is going up this week. It’s amazing to see how much light is shed into the work space with even just a few panels. You’ll also notice the wood flooring that was laid last week.

Comments Off on Sheet Rocking
