Get Real Martial Arts in Mt. Joy

Okay so along with this business I am also a Mixed Martial Artist. In training for my next fight we have moved to a new location and have to "fight proof" it. We had to stud out the wall so the plywood would be flush with the foundational cinder blocks. This will support us wrestling and falling into the wall a little better than the drywall.

Sink in Table in Lancaster

This is a very unique project. Our client wanted a kitchen sink in a custom built table. It's going to look nice when completed. We built up the height with two layers of 3/4" plywood and then tiled the top.

Tub Surround in Centerville

This job became very interesting. We started out with tile falling off the wall, causing leaks into the basement. When we got to the job there was the small hole. We decided the best thing to do would be to rip the tiles and wall board down to the studs, install Hardibacker then a new tub surround.

Railing and steps in Lancaster

I worked with a cousin of mine on this project in the city. He got this job where we needed to rebuild these steps and railing to meet code.

Bathroom in Landisville

So here we are. The vanity, medicine cabinet and all the furniture was purchased at Bath Barn in Lititz. It was almost an oversight in the show room but was seen as the homeowners were leaving there and instantly they knew these were for there bathroom.

Railing in Steelton

This is the first house of hopefully many that we are working on with a flipper. Our goal is about 1 every other month. This is our third week into this house. I have installed a new 100amp electrical service line and new breaker panel box on this project. Yes it all passed inspection, thanks. We have a few new circuits, one to a new powder room that's been added to the back of the house that will house a stacked washer/dryer combo and a 2-piece bathroom. Another to the gas hot water heater, where the exhaust blower was running off of multiple extension cords stretched across the basement. Anyway, here is the porch railing we decided to go with. We removed the outdated iron railing and are installing this pressure treated railing.

New vanity install in Landisville

Here you can see we are setting the new vanity, medicine cabinet and flylight after we drywalled, mudded, and painted the surrounding area. If you take notice to the baseboard, we matched as close as possible to the origianal baseboards throughout the house. Pics of the completed bathroom coming soon. It is hard to tell but this bathroom has a pale yellow color on the wall that blends everything together quite nicely.

Bathroom Floors in Landisville, PA

This whole project was so much fun. I was not very familiar with Bamboo flooring before this project. It installs just like any hardwood floor would but the gain in the floor is very different. We decided on the horizontally stacked floor. It is also available in Vertically stacked (how the bamboo shoots are engineered together on each plank). We purchased this material from JC Snavely which is just down the road. I purchased the nails there and they allowed me to use there diagonal nailer for free.

Bathroom Vanity in Landisville, PA

This vanity was fun and a bit challenging. At first we were not going to replace the vanity, then the home owners decided too, which was a great decision. But what that did was push the new floor install back a few weeks until the vanity came in. I did not want to rip out the old vanity and install the new bamboo floor and not have a functional bathroom. So once the vanity and cabinetry came in then we were back to it. Homeowners ordered a taller vanity and a taller medicine cabinet with a flylight above it than what was there previously. Add it all together and now I need to raise the "coffin space" above the sink a few inches to make it all fit. It's a lot of extra work but again it is worth to have that show piece of a finished product.
