Our cabinet maker is extraordinarily talented and a good guy to boot.

CHECK IT OUT

  The install of the library shelving began last week.  

Roy Hoffert, 

kitchen cabinet-maker extraordinaire,

 has designed, crafted and is now installing  the shelving.  

Cabinets are unloaded using a ramp to the porch

The largest of the sections ekes around the newel post & through the library doorway

Floors are protected every step of the way

This old house continues to give Roy a run for his money.  As was the case when installing the kitchen cabinets and the music room shelving, neither walls nor floors are level.  This presents a particular challenge that would have caused many men to run, perhaps screaming, from this job....but not Roy.  While he said he was a little stressed trying to make it work, one would never know it.

Not only has Roy built this piece of furniture from scratch, but also he has had to weave in 2 antique pieces Wallace and I picked up.

Amidst the tools is an old file cabinet and glass doors to an antique cupboard

The library is almost complete.  Stay tuned for final photos.

STEAMPUNK SHELVING

    Guided by Wallace's ideas, Roy Hoffert of Hoffert Furniture and Cabinetry has constructed this shelving to house Wallace's vinyl and CD collection.  Using stock lumber, plumbing pipe, and beautiful heart pine, Roy has done it again!

We are, yet again, fantastically happy customers.
