Our carpenters got together for a happy hour last Friday. One of our strengths is that we have such a close knit group on the production side. One of our core values is: Support the Team.Everyone in this photo is ready to help each other out when needed, and our design and management teams are supporting the people in the field with clear schedules, information that’s delivered on time, and detailed plans.

Sink bases get wetter than other cabinets. And water wrecks cabinets. I like to use the Watchdog water alarm This little box has two metal dots that form an open switch on the bottom. When the base gets wet, the water completes the circuit, and an alarm goes off. This means you find out you have a leak a lot sooner. If you're like me, you don't do a weekly check with a flashlight to make sure there are no drips from the sink or pipes in your sink base. But a little standing water over weeks or months can do damage. While you're at it, put one near your water heater (especially if it is over 9 years old) and washing machine (and get a flood stop valve and braided hoses).

Secret pocket door leads from one kids closet to another We had two challenges on the first floor of our latest whole house remodel:One was how to get natural light into the two bedrooms that didn’t have any windows. To accomplish this we added transom windows above the closets.The second was how to maximize fun and make it the best hide and seek house in the city. For that, we added secret kid sized pocket doors in between the bedroom closets. Watch the video below to see both of these solutions.
