I've often said, you may be a bit of a jerk on some things, but you are the "GO TO" guy on remodeling and woodworking.

Good craftsmanship, good service, good reviews, (in a national mag) = more business. Congrats on the write up.

Sounds like a flagrant Infidel Capitalist to me,....

All the best.

nope, company was shut down jan 1 2010,  market crash killed it.   I did almost exclusivly 100+ year old homes.  the market went from 300-500 sqft to 200 sqft and it didn't matter if it was falling down or some one dumped 100k into it.

Now that I think of it, along these same lines.  I would guess that everyone on this forum at one time or another has seen some of my work.  Nothing pretty, nothing fancy......nothing worth Better Homes fame..

For eleven years, my company produced all the stainless steel counter tops for Dunkin Donuts, manufactured the food courts for BJ's Warehouse, did the fascia panels for Austin Airports, Ronald Reagan International and right before I left, we did the fascia panels for the new additions at Logan in Boston.

They probably have products in darn near every commercial kitchen or deli counter in the Northeast and central Midwest, Mid and South Atlantic areas as well.

Congrats Tab, Once I did some work on an historic B&B that ended up on the fancy flier for the product manufacturer (got no credit on that one). Maybe you will get more business and can then afford a spell checker. ;)

That reminds me...... all the aluminum parts for one of the Trump buildings in New York was run at the little facility where I used to work......I guess that's my closest claim to fabrication fame.  ;D  ;D  ;D
