Day to Day...

I just got back from Palouse and the Cooper kitchen remodel...Here are a few pics. The one low slung piece of furniture looking cabinet is the "hoosier" I spoke of yesterday. Look at that period apron sink...it goes very well with the aesthetic of the Victorian era farm house. Issac and his helper, Chuck were working very hard when I left, fine-tuning the cabinets. Thanks for the hard work Issac.

Also this morning we met with Palouse Marble and Granite, a composite solid surface manufacturer in Pullman that offers an inexpensive yet effective alternative to tile for such applications as tub/shower surrounds, vanity counter-tops, and kitchen counter-tops. You can see some of the products they offer at ACS International, a company which manufactures the fillers used to manufacture the solid surface material. From what I gather, the cost is roughly half that of natural granite and is relatively more diverse in it's application. Perhaps we'll have the opportunity to work with Loren and Rick in the future. If customers are interested in the product we can get an estimate easily enough, so don't hesitate to ask.

We'll be setting up at the Inland Northwest Green Fair this evening and the show starts tomorrow. We'll be located near the stage so come by, say "hello" and sign up for a drawing we'll be having at the end of the show where we'll be giving away the book Green From the Ground Up: Sustainable, Healthy, and Energy Efficient Home Construction as well as more locally roasted coffee from Red Finn: Finely Finnished Coffee by Otto Keyes.
