well thought out, I can't imagine your clients not being thrilled with it. I
really liked the "trapeze" that suspends the mixer. How much cabinet
modification to the
carcass did it take to get that strong enough to suspend the mixer safely? Is
that a purpose built piece of kitchen hardware? It reminds me of some computer
hardware I have installed.

We are usually behind pretty much any trend here, so I am hoping that we will
get back to a trend of being really busy here.

Regardless of a shortage of "hands on" workers, a good contractor makes all the
difference in
the world, and some folk are savvy enough to realize how important the
contractor is to a smooth running project and to delivering a good final
product.

If we are still talking about Swingmans kitchen remodel, the back splash
is 3/4"+ quartz.
