Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays! I always take a few moments to remember what our Independence Day is really about. A group of men who were willing to risk it all, their futures, their fortunes and their lives because they believed in the idea that liberty and freedom were more important than any of that. To me, it’s nothing short of amazing that what started as a rough assembly of untrained men using whatever weapons they could get their hands on managed to become the somewhat more polished Continental Army and went on to defeat the army of what was, at the time, the most powerful nation in the world.

On that day, I also honor those who have fought for us since that time. Those that have come since are no less heroic in their sacrifices for liberty and freedom. They have continued the work started so long ago by those who fought the first fight for our freedom and, in my opinion, deserve to be honored on Independence Day just as much as those who founded our country.

We will be closed today to observe July 4 activities. Back open on Sunday 7/05/09

It seems that all I have been writing about lately are kitchen cabinets in Ramona and San Diego. That’s a good thing for me because I like the fact that we are into a rise in the remodel business. This home I also had shown to you during demo. tear-it-up The counter tops could not look any better than the are. This set of kitchen cabinets are made with quarter sawn oak, standard drawers and pullouts, Blum soft close drawer and door hardware and melamine interiors. The cabinets were rubbed out with a medium colored oil and the waxed with Fiddes. The color of the finished cabinets looks great against the counters.

In our Ramona Kitchen and Bath Design Center yesterday we drew the winner of our free kitchen cabinet and granite. We have emailed the winner and asked if they would come in  for a photo in front of what they have won. This is a display that we will be taking out shortly and then giving it to the winner. The contest was a lot of fun and we will do it again with the next kitchen that we take out of the design center. We had lots of names in the bowl and I had a lot of fun with the drawing. Lynn had the honor of picking the winner.

Click on this link to see the house during demo new-kitchen The new kitchen cabinets in this older Ramona home were just recently manufactured and installed. The project was a smart choice for a person that lost her home in the 2007 Witch Fire. She took her insurance money and paid off her mortgage. She had enough left over to then turn around and buy a house that had devalued during the recent downturn in the real estate market. Pretty smart. The cabinets have standard drawers and K.V. full extension guides along with soft close doors. The work was done by a contractor that we hooked her up with. As usual everything was completed on time. One photo of the kitchen and one of the new nook area. The wisonart counters add a great look at a small price.

After a meeting in our Ramona Kitchen and Bath Design Center our potential  customers called back a few days later and decided to go with the job. The home is tucked away in the Mussy Grade area. I visited the house and measured the bathrooms and hall linen. The new cabinets will be birch raised panel with dovetail drawers and Blum soft close drawer and door hardware. Top of the line stuff. The cabinets will have some spindles and decorative feet. While I was there they let me take a look at their kitchen that they got from Lowes. The cabinets were KraftMaid. This was a complete nightmare for the homeowner. The homeowner ended up finishing the job himself because the folks that Lowes sent out were as uninformed as the Lowes employee who designed the job. The real problem here is that the big box stores just do not care about the end user, so they just walk away.       free-kitchen
