THE END!










It's been so long but the journey is finally over. The cabinet was built and delivered much to the satisfaction of the group and of the clients. It was a hectic ride but we're so glad that we were able to do something really wonderful for someone else. Hope you enjoyed these last photos and thanks for following along until the end. We really appreciate it.

Cheers, WAM Group

THE RAISING OF THE CABINET.

Today was extremely exciting because it was time to raise the cabinet. When we put the two pieces together and stood it up for the first time we were all so proud of all the work we had accomplished. It finally came together and was an actual, standing, very tall cabinet.

Here are some photos of us, celebrating this victory:

SO CLOSE!

We've accomplished SO much in the wood shop this past week leading up to Thanksgiving Break. The build crew has made significant progress, while the rest of the group has continued on with tying up the other ends of the project and maintaining communication with the WAM staff.

Here are some awesome photos of the progress we've made. So close to being done!

CONTRUCTION, DESTRUCTION.

As construction continues, we've run into some delays along the way, mostly with cutting and making sure each piece fits where and exactly how it is supposed to. We've learned a lot about the overall inner-workings of the wood shop but it does get a little frustrating when things don't go right the first time you do them. But learning....that's the point of the project, right?

Hopefully we can remain positive until the finish, even when things go a little awry every once in a while.




BUDGET.

A HUGE part of this project has been the budget and how we responded to the amount that was given to us. We had to tweak materials, taking every knob and side into account to make sure our deliverable was within the amount afforded to us.

Here is the budget as it currently stands:
