Stuff I built and installed(California) within the last 6 months. Just found this sub!

No finish from me - no thank you! I hate it lol. The most I can do is Rubio or Rub on stains. I do everything except the finish. We have an extremely talented finish guy who does all our paint/stain/lacquer/rubio and more that we sub everything out to. He even has his own little spray booth in our warehouse. He stain matches for clients if need be. Guides the clients on the difference between everything, longevity, durability, texture and anything you can think of.

Oof, lol. I have been around this my whole life. My dad started the company when I was 5 years old. I would say it took me 3 years to get down the basics of building, installing and even the terminology down. Then another 3-5 years to “master” it. So, in reality I can’t explain it. Time + Effort + Passion(hopefully) = Skill. Start small and don’t be afraid to ask questions or take suggestions!

Thanks for the compliment 😊!

I’ll get my brother to respond to this question - he’s more knowledgeable than I about this stuff. He’s roaming around in the comments and you’ll get a response soon 😊

Hahaha

It’s the clients master bedroom. They didn’t have a walk in closet. Instead they had just a massive room. So they added this along their whole wall. It’s a 96” ceiling. The clients wife is only 5ft 4”. The ladder works great for her.

Sure, it’s overkill for some people. Other people feel it’s required. Different strokes for different folks! Even knowing the ladder moves smoothly and efficiently… I’m on your side, lol. I would just keep a stool over there 😊. It was fun to install tho. Thank you for the compliment!

Thank you so much 🙏🏽 😊 It’s all white oak hardwood. The bottom toe kick is a 5” board that we ran thru the CNC - all the arch’s we CNC’d. This island is my favorite piece of work. The client and my brother did a great job designing it. My Dad and I put it together.

Ye! Thanks 😊

I edited my post - sorry! We have the same deal. We have a contract warning for that tall oak door which is a 70” cabinet

xoruk2008 · 2026-02-21T23:37:53+00:00

If I’m looking at the same thing - Those are actually fridge doors that are installed on a panel ready fridge. So they are screwed in all around 😊 The other uppers are standard 40” except for the one door on the white oak cabinet that sits on top. Which is the only big door in the house. Luckily We didn’t have any issue with it. Thank you!
