The Final “Lazy Dog Bistro” to “Lazy Dog Apartments” conversion Blog.

OK, this has been a great adventure, I was privileged to make some great friends in Dr Dave Wasilewski and his wonderful wife Denyce, from “18E Real Estate” and “Schuylkill Dental Medicine” I cannot say enough about how great it’s been to work on this project with them.

Both main level apartments are now finished and the  upstairs apartment has a

new laminate floor in the living room & hall. (the left over flooring from the main downstairs apartment). The very spacious upstairs 2 bedroom apartment and the large downstairs efficiency apartment are ready for renting so if you need a great place to live in Minersville, PA. drop me a note and I will hook you up .

If you-all have been following along (most of these last 6 months), I’ve had a running commentary on the construction. Well, there is only so much you can say about hanging drywall and laying flooring. ( if you’ve hung drywall on one project , you’ve hung it all, not a lot of variation between drywall jobs). So the blog posts have sort of petered out during the small apartment phase. ( my apologies if you were following along). That being said, here are a bunch of pics of the finished projects and a very nice testimonial letter.

” All in all it’s been a wonderful journey”. ( this is a line from one of my songs)

I’ve known Bob for several years now, and we’ve worked on a number of projects together. The most recent has been a large renovation project – converting a 2500 square foot commercial space into residential apartments. The work has involved just about every phase of building and remodeling: concrete, framing, roofing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, painting,flooring,trim work and more. Bob is a skilled craftsman and a hard worker. He “gets it” when reviewing plans or discussing ideas for what’s envisioned as the end result, and he is open to suggestions for how to get there. Bob is a real find in the construction world – an honest, hard-working, pleasant guy to work with. He’s reliable, he cares, and he gives more than a fair day’s work for the money you’ll spend. I won’t hesitate to call on Bob for my next project, big or small.
