CrossWorks Carpentry.."Where Every Nail Has a Purpose"

 
 
  Little Sebago Kitchen

On this particular job, the plan is to totally revamp the kitchen which will involve the following:

Strip the walls & ceiling and insulate, install new sheet rock, as well install a new coat closet, washer/dryer space, re-locate bedroom entries, build a custom bench for dining nook, new windows, new entry door, total re-wiring and finish off with a brand new fireplace & hearth and re-finished oak flooring. Oh and of course and brand new set of kitchen cabinets with granite countertops and appliances.

So here we go......
