I got the last of these from the Perdomo booth. You had to buy two of their samplers to get it. Then got Nick to sign it, which was pretty cool.

Looks awesome Jon. Im coming down to Richmond the second week of July if your around i'd love to stop over and see it in person.

That lounge is going to be awesome! Was the wood hard to put down? We are seriously considering doing it ourselves in our home but I don't have any experience with it. We were shooting for some laminate or composite..the real stuff is EXPENSIVE! lol

sweet!

Scott, as far as I'm tracking right now we'll be around in early July. Let me know when you're in town and we can set something up for a visit.

I went with the laminate as well, and it wasn't hard to put down in my opinion. It was my first experience laying it and it went smoothly. My only real suggestion is making sure you have a sliding miter saw because a regular miter isn't big enough to cut through the pieces. Other than that, it is really just cutting it to fit and using the spacers. I think we're going to end up using this in more of the house now that I know how. Real wood is super expensive, I agree. My dogs have totally ruined the real wood we have in the house so I'll never use it again.

....lookin' good Jon!

Staying to box in my fan. The damn right side pulled in on me while hanging and is not level. Driving me absolutely crazy! I will fix with shims doing drywall, but still annoying.

I lined it with window screen to prevent bugs from getting in as well.

Also put in a dimmer switch for the fan, which reduced the nose considerably.

Very nice buddy

icantbejon · 06-06-2012, 07:17 PM
