What takes 9 weeks, 2 men, 1 woman...

...134 hours and 32 minutes 8 seconds, 15 sheets of Cherry MDF board (each weighing 100 lbs), 8 sheets of pure cherry hardwood, 1 roll of cherry veneer, 186 screws, 2 bottles of glue, 27 sheets of sandpaper, 3 cans of cherry/mahogany stain, 2 cans of clear glossy polyurethane, 2 curse words during a painful moment, and 147,632,217 prayers?

Cabinets, Cabinets, and more cabinets!!!

The pictures are kind of dark because I took them when the sun was going down...but there are a few that I took with the flash and they came out better.










Brandon got a phone call from the same guy that he made that gigantic frame for a couple of months ago. He asked Brandon if he'd ever done cabinets before and of course Brandon said "no." He responded with, "want to learn and I'll pay you?"


From that moment on Brandon hired Tucker and together they labored many days and nights (some times even till 2 am or on Saturday for about 15 hours straight). Tina did her fair share of work as well as she handled most of the staining.


All in all it was a good experience and helped us all out financially. We think they turned out beautiful but only time will see (meaning...I hope they don't fall on somebody and kill them!). Just Kidding!!!
