Hey Scott that ac thermostat looks just like the one on my ac ceiling unit. Did you relocate yours or did yours actually come with a remote mounted thermostat?

Love that wood look Scott. Very clean looking. Of course my last ranch house was made out of logs with a lot of wood inside.

The "rustic wood" is okay but how are you going to have matching cabinets?  Use pine plywood and dark stain to match?  I wanted to use hickory for my cabinets, but it is not easy to find at a reasonable price.  So I took the easy way out and used oak which is available every where.  It seams dark stain is the latest fad.  

What are your plans, Cliff?

What about Birch?
All of my woodwork is solid Birch and all I'm going to do (after the redesign is finished) is strip it, refinish it and add a bit of Walnut. I built every single cabinet, closet, drawer and roof seam/ceiling panel strip in dad's "other" baby myself. He dared me. But solid Birch with Walnut is beautiful, IMHO

OK...I'm a bit proud. I love building things :)

The choice of wood is not the problem,the stuff is expensive so I need somebody that doesn't cut 3 or 4 times wasting the wood in other words a pro

It was recently mentioned that we could have a new website that automatically sizes your pictures AND allows bigger pictures.  That would sure be nice.  What's going on, webmasters???

Well...yep. But even some non "pros"  know to measure 3 times...check Autocad (if you use it) scale, measure again...then cut :)
I get a kick out of watching people take either a dull, or a totally wrong blade (like metal) to plywood. I think I would be arrested if I saw someone doing the same to beautiful, solid wood.
I wish I were closer to where you are. I would gladly build you anything you wanted just to be able to pick your brain in person.
