Custom Labor
This customer needed assembly of a metal storage shed. Note that a base (floor frame & floor decking) does not come with the metal storage building kits. We first installed a vapor-barrier, then the frame was built - using pressure-treated wood. Then pressure-treated decking installed onto the frame. The metal building was then assembled on the base.
The manufacturer estimates 2-people for 7 hours - to assemble the building, plus another 2 hours for building a base. This is a total of 16 man-hours estimated by the building manufacturer.
TNT Buildings performed the assembly for the customer in a total of 9 hours (6-hours for 1 person, then 1.5 hours with 2 workers). At current labor rates, we saved the customer $315 in labor vs the manufacturer's estimated assembly time.

Room Renovations
The following photos are of work that I assisted with as a contractor for "Men in Hats" construction contracting. The customer is a company that just moved to a new location, and needed some major office rennovations prior to moving in. Descriptions are below each photo.
 This office received a 2-tone paint job, then oak paneling, chair-rail, and crown-molding was installed, stained, and shellaced. |

 The company's entranceway was plain-looking. So they asked for a fountain to be installed in the planter area. |
 Here's the finished fountain. It has a heavy liner, a fiberglass molded boulder fountain, and water pump. The outer edge of the fountain area was lined with slate stone mortered in - also included it a slate capping of the fountain area. |
 Two Offices were filled out with oak paneling, baseboard, chair-rail, and crown molding. |

 The party room started out as one large open area. The customer requested that we build (a) a kitchen area with 3' tall cabinet area; and a full height wall for the wall-mount cabinets and microwave. (b) A hallway to block off view of the restroom entrance. As a bonus, the archway was made for the entrance. (c) We cut out new door openings for the rest rooms and installed 6-panel doors that were stained and shellaced. |

 Here is an outdoor firepit built for a client in a rural area. Great for sitting around with family and friends. |
