Fast Times @ MWCG!

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!

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!
