New Shop, New Projects!

Hello everyone, its been alittle while since our last post but that dosnt mean we hav’nt been busy! Developing the new shop has been taking up the majority of our time but we are still fulfilling custom orders. Our latest project was a custom built in storage bench for a remodel job being done by Sturdy Home Improvement.

After over 120 man hours we have finished Eco Building Bargains customer counter! It was a lot of work but nothing MWCGs lead artist Trent Guihan couldn’t handle. And special thank to his brother Tony, Josh St and extra thanks to Justin Kasunick, without these guys this job never would have been completed in the time it was. So as we continu the rest of the EcoBB work order we are glad that the tough jobs are installed and our customer is satisfied. More stuff ahead!

What a crazy couple of months we’ve had! Between our Eco Building Bargins work, customer orders, making plans for our new space, and the holiday season fast approaching we have more than our work cut out for us! But its nothing we can’t handle. By the weeks end our biggest order to date will be complete and things will start to get back to normal (whatever normal means…)

In the next few weeks we will be unveiling our holiday collection of gifts and furniture on our new online store, so check back soon to see the latest!

Back to work for our Lead Artist, its going to be all nighters until our Eco Building work is complete!

Eco Building Bargains conference table gets a treatment of beeswax and orange oil before the clear goes on next week. The beeswax will soak into the oak over the weekend giving a nice healthy sheen to the top.

Eco Building Bargins conference table is ready for a new finish! After being totally disassembled the top had cracked into about 7 different pieces, but humpty dumpty has been put back together again and is one step closer to its new home in the conference room at their new store on Warwick St.

Another current project we are working on is installing a 100% recycled kitchen in the CSRwire.com office on Gasoline Alley. Today we constructed the sink. The cast iron sink unit was purchased at Eco Building Bargins. The base is two old filing cabinets from the office and the frame is a reclaimed 2×8 cut down and attached to the filing cabinets from underneath to hold the base in place and keep the sink from movng around. All in all a very cool piece, plumbing goes in tonight and its done!
