"Called at 11:30 a.m. and Chris was here by about 12:10 p.m.  Figured out the problem within about 15 minutes.  A switch on our older receiver just needed to be set on another setting.  I asked if he wanted payment now or will he send a bill.  Chris called the boss and the boss said not to charge anything since no parts were needed and it took chris such a short time to figure it out.  I was not even charged for a service call!  He just asked that we spread the word about the company!  You just do not see anything like this very often anymore.  Chris gave me some business cards and I will for sure pass them out to friends and spread the word.
How refreshing it is that a business like this still exists.  I would highly recommend this company and will call them again the next time I need something and will be willing to pay whatever they charge as I know it will be a fair price.
I realize that I just happened t call at a good time and that no company can come out so fast and I realize that most of the time it will cost something.  But they could have easily charged at least a service call and they did not.  This is a sign of a truly outstanding company.  Please use them, they are outstanding!

"The first thing that happened was for Ryan and Julie from Cabinet Clad to visit our house and get an ideal of our remodeling needs.  They would work with us on cabinet style, stain color, style of door knobs, hardwood floors, etc.  We would then sit down with them at their office to finalize the contract and negotiate a price.  The project would start in approximately 5 weeks. 
Cabinet Clad gave me a copy of a project schedule so I knew exactly what was going on.  If changes were being made to the schedule they informed me of the change. The gutting of the kitchen and living room took about 2 days.  They removed everything and hauled off everything.  They removed the soffits in the kitchen and reframed the walls and sheet rocked the walls.  The electrician roughed in the changes needed and the sheet rock personnel got started.  It took longer to mud the sheet rock then projected (about 1 1/2 weeks) however the weather had some reason for the delay.  We picked out the granite at a company in Independence along with the assistance of Julie (their designer). The granite personnel installed the granite in less than one day.  Julie also help us pick out the style of facing needed on the fireplace.  She was very helpful in giving us an ideal of what we needed in design, style and color.   The project was completed pretty much on schedule (about 6 weeks). 
The cabinets were made in Abilene, KS and were excellent quality.  The cabinet personnel did an excellent job installing.  The backsplash tile person and the plumber all did very good work.  The electrician was outstanding adjusting and establishing the lighting and electrical needs of the kitchen and living room.  The sheet rock personnel did an acceptable job, however it took longer than expected to mud the rooms.  Chip (the project manager) was excellent in keeping us on schedule, coordinating all the sub contractors and responding to our changes.   Cabinet Clad completed the remodeling project beyond our expectations.  We love it very much.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Be careful not to drop your voltmeter or multimeter. Even a small fall can affect the tool’s ability to measure with accuracy. Always store your tools in their cases in a cool, dark place. Also, avoid touching the probes to each other while they’re connected to a circuit or another electrical component, and never tamper with anything inside the device.

The NEC requires electrical outlets be installed in a kitchen that has a sink 12 inches wide and 24 inches deep. According to the code, that outlet must be within 2 feet of the kitchen sink. Bathrooms must have at least one electrical outlet, it must be GFCI, and it must be within 3 feet of the bathroom sink.

It might seem tempting to use 14-gauge wires for your outlets, as they can run a little cheaper. But, when it comes to electrical work, it’s best not to cut costs less you overload your circuit. A 12-gauge wire will ensure that you’re protecting the outlet (and your circuit breaker) from any potential overloads that might incur, as it can handle a little more amplitude than a 14-gauge wire.

The copper wire used in knob and tube wiring systems can last up to 100 years. However, it’s considered a dangerous and outdated wiring method because the cloth, fabric, or rubber insulation sheathing can become brittle and fall apart. Knob and tube wiring systems should be inspected if you’re considering buying a home with this type of wiring, or if you have problems with frequently tripping breakers, a sign that you may need to replace them.

GFCI stands for Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, a standard safety addition to home power outlets. In rooms where moisture is more likely, like the bathroom and kitchen, GFCI outlets stop the current when certain kinds of shorts are detected, preventing shocks. Both GFCI and the similar AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets are polarized and have clear indicators on the receptacle where hot wiring should go.
