Matt has been busy cutting, fitting and gluing tile in the Copper Crown of late. He started with the border tile, which goes all around the room, and has no straight lines. The border tiles are cut down to 2” X 3”. That means lots of fitting and marking, and then trips to the shop to cut the specially shaped tile. All that effort is for good as the floors are looking fabulous! Stay tuned for a peek soon…
Stocking up
After a very busy fall and before an even busier winter/spring construction season, this is the time to regroup just a little. We take inventory of our supplies and place our orders for enough supplies to last through the next year. We like to buy in bulk when we can, for we can negotiate a better price and save significantly on shipping costs. By the end of this month we will have tons of sand, hundreds of bags of concrete additive, pallets of various sizes of Precision Board and glue, consumables for the CNC machines and bins full of every size of screws and hardware. We’ve also gone through our tools to make sure everything is in good working order and replaced as necessary. By buying before the end of the year we often beat the inevitable price increases on most items as well. Once fully stocked we can solely concentrate of our work.
Tall stuff!
The Copper Crown Suite is rapidly coming together and is breathtaking in every way possible. The rooms are difficult to capture in a photo as they are very tall. Where else would you need a twenty-four-foot-tall extension ladder to install a chandelier over the king-sized bed? Below the floor tile is being laid. Downstairs, the painting is proceeding at full speed. The suite is a very busy place that will soon welcome the first guests. Stay tuned…
