Did you know that years ago when the said 2x4 they actually meant it. This week we began a very extensive kitchen remodel in what appears to be a very old house in Palouse, WA. Drawings were made by Karen Owsley of Moscow and up to this point the crew has a good idea of how large a rough sawn 2x4 piece of 100 year old wood actually is. We've started the project by removing a wall near the kitchen to provide additional space for the new kitchen, after the homeowners have done their worthwhile share of the demolition, and we've added some framing to prepare the space for the plumbers and electricians. Drywall is being delivered Monday morning so Henry Knecht can cover the walls in gypsum wall board. Review the slide show left titled "Cooper Kitchen" for more images.
We do tile...Particularly entire walls in specialty glass subway tiles. Jason Schuling finished installing such a tile in a bathroom Thursday then finished the marble floor before grouting the whole schmear Friday with the help of Henry Knecht. Georgia Carpetworks supplied the tile and the grout used on this project, which happens to be the grout product we prefer to use, is Laticrete Spectralock, an epoxy grout that contains three parts and which is bomb proof. You'll never be dis-satisfied with the long term results of Spectralock.
It's that time of year again, the 12th Annual Palouse Empire Home and Garden Expo this Firday and Saturday and the Kibby Dome. Last year we had a wonderful time meeting patrons and industry professionals alike; if you're at all considering starting projects around your home the small fee to attend shouldn't keep you from browsing the booths at the expo. All vendors are eager to help you get information to help you achieve what you've envisioned or they'll direct you to what can. We'll be located at the North end of the central square next to the presentation stage so please come by, say "hello" and sign up for our drawing to give away a book about home design and a couple pounds of locally roasted coffee.
