There`s hot weather your way too?
Aren`t all cabinets a bit of a custom install?
Did you know that if you want to play you got to pay John.....

To a certain degree they are Morris, but usually you get to take measurements and send them back to the plant and have them made up for the customer, customer gets to wait 6 - 10 weeks for the order. Most times the cabinets have a variety of set sizes and you take the measurements from a collection of sizes and cut spacers to make them fit and then laminate a counter top. What makes them custom is that you only make them on demand, display units are made by company choice. These came from a big friggin house with a huge kitchen and are going into 2 small kitchens and Tom gets a built in china cabinet in the upper suite as a bonus. Hes getting 48' of kitchen craft high end maple cabinets custom made for about $2800 instead of $14,000+, one of the reasons that I have no problems getting work. Pays for me to stay up on my kijiji ads.

Hello everyone.
I am home for a bit...not sure how long.

John what is costing money now?
Did you get the diff done?

Perry i like kijiji as well.
And yes custom kitchens are insanely expensive.
Anyone who wants a dog BC has many great dogs to go to a good home.
The fires have displaced so many.
I shouldn't have but did take 2 myself.
Added to the 3 dogs we already had my house looks more like a dog kennel than it does a place for humans.

My customers usually tell me what they want done a few months in advance so it gives me a good lead time to look for deals, its nice when once and a while I can store the product at their place if I find it before the job starts. Sure hope that I find a house this month end, doesn't help that I'm picky about it, but then again I don't like moving.

It was 28°C but didn`t feel like it with the haze and strong wind. I guess I`m finally getting used to the heat just about the time it`s over for the year. The evenings are cool here too, great for sleep.
Getting lots of rain Gerry? Is harvest under way or is it over?
Everything has an end John, some later than others.
