As noted last month, sheet rocking began in May and now all of our newly framed walls have their skin. Thanks to folks at Lonestar Drywall, it shouldn't be long before trim work is ready to start at 12 North 5th.
Not only does the inside of the walls consist of the insulation (provided by Johnson Insulation) that will assure an energy efficient building, but Kody Shed and Inhouse Systems have added thousands of dollars in hi-tech wiring that will assure that TABA has one of the most state of the art technical facilities in the area.
This will give us the ability to hold future educational seminars onsite and assure us that we won't be limited when making presentations to our members and our visitors.
Since we mentioned trim work above, we can note that Chris Alexander of Texas Tradition Custom Homes, has already started meeting with Weldon Vybiral of Tri-Supply and the folks at Kiella (project directors Brian Fields and Larry Hall) to discuss trim. From the sounds of it, the trim work should be a site to behold.
This will be a true compliment to the outstanding looking cabinetry that Double T Construction has built in donation for bathrooms and kitchen areas of our facility. They've already installed some beautiful cabinetry in one of the restrooms, and the kitchen cabinetry is stored onsite. Double T is also refurbishing some cabinets we had in our workroom.
We can't thank them (or any of our contributors) enough for all of their support, and we can't thank them without also thanking Price Brashear and the folks at Cinco Premium Wood Products for supplying all of the alder and birch materials that went into making the cabinets.
We also mentioned last month that several of our subcontractors have noted to us that they have benefited from their contribution to our building expansion.
In particular Brandon Tarnow of Aspen Air had a great deal to say. Brandon recently noted the following to us:
"Troy, it was our pleasure to donate our time, materials and services to TABA. At Aspen Air we strive to be supportive to the building industry because we fully realize without a strong industry, our success will be limited. Further, the commitment that we made has proven to pay dividends for us. It has furthered our reputation in the community and has directly and indirectly provided us with a number of new clients that we hope to forge long lasting relationships with."
Thanks again Mr. Tarnow!!! We wanted to make sure our members had a chance to read your comments. Brandon represents Aspen Air. Aspen Air provided TABA with 3 energy efficient air conditioning units. Not only did they provide the materials, but they installed the units and the duct work and replaced the older, less efficient unit that we used to have in the building.
