A basement bar

I have one question.
HOW MUCH?
How much did you charge this client for something like that?
Actually more than one. What's the sq. ft. of the place?

Thanks
 
Chris,

I guess as Yuri said what kind of bid does it take for a job of that scale.  The home itself must be a beauty.....Is it just the lighting or are you finishing after you install?  It looks in some if the pictures that some of the work is not finished, like I mentioned it might just be the lighting.  Wow, that's a to proud of, everyone should be able to have the opportunity to work with guys like you and your boss.  Just love what you guys have done. 
 
The house itself is not that big.  Two stories and the basement, maybe 4000 square feet.  The area we are currently working on is about 700 sq ft.  I have not seen the numbers on this side of the project but I heard with the bedroom suite, two bathes, lighting and electronics, about 250,000$.  

We are wrapping up this project and getting ready to start the theater room that was originally estimated at about 250 as well.  We will be there until July.
 
Almost everything attached to the walls was finished on site.  Stain and lacquer on the wood surface, paint on drywall, the floor was prefinished hickory, and the casework was built and finished in a shop.  The painters did a great job, though like most things if look hard enough you will find flaws.  We found nail holes they missed and they found glue spots we missed.  Big picture though the painters did their job, make us look good.
 
Dont be so modest Chriss, you have done stunning work there.  Did you say that was someones house  [eek]  What is it they do for a living ?
Keep the pics coming  [thumbs up]

Fantastic work Chris!

You guys in the US seem to pick up some real nice trim jobs. This coming month I have a small mudroom and boxing in an understair cupboard!

Compared to what you have done that makes me feel about as skilled as a chimp with a chainsaw!!

This is a sweet looking job. Nice stuff.
Did they spray or hand paint the lacquer on site? Are there rules prohibiting spraying on site? Was the lacquer water Borne of Petroleum based?
Thanks again for posting!
BTW, was this your design?

The painters sprayed the lacquer on site.  We were on a different sight at the time so I did not get to see their containment process.  I am certain that the product was not waterborne and that the customer was present for at least part on the time.

It must have been unbearable to be in that house for 24 hours or so.
I was in a house for about 5 min. after painters had stained and sprayed maple on a wine cellar and workout room with post catalyzed finish and it was brutal.
Finish is extremely tough, you can't scratch it.

Here is the missing top for the island that Alex asked about.

The top is huge and heavy.  We took out a basement window to the framing to get it in and it took four guys.

The bulk of the lower section is wenge veneer on mdf for stability.  Both the inside and outside of the piece are wenge hardwood.  The outside is about 5" think.  I wish I had the opportunity to work on it but we had other fish to fry.  At least we got to set it.

The good looking kid in the first photo is Mitch, the man that built this beauty and is also an oldschool Festool guy.
 
That is very nice!
Great project Chris, thanks for sharing.
Were you guys there when they were spraying? Had it one time when painters were spraying a ceramic paint (?), that will make you lightheaded.
 
Chris,

Absolutely gorgeous.  Be glad you didn't have to fill the pores in that Wenge. [big grin]

This is my photo set on this project until the customer furnishes the space.

This section is the "candy bar".  It is the space that both connects via the pass through and separates the main area of the basement and the AV room that we are starting.  The customer wanted a case to display their candy selection and a place to store media.  We are waiting for a decision on the pocket doors above the counter whether it will include glass our not.

The arch pictured in the bulkhead was kind of my entrance exam.  My boss started the radius and had it framed.  He then handed me his jigsaw and a piece of walnut and told me to have at it.  I was not happy.  Definitely not my method to cut a fine piece of trim.  Well I am a carpenter so I use what I have to get the job done.  He was satisfied and I got the job.
