We have the BEST team!
Set to lift the cupola into place with crane.
Icy trim parts.
I was inspired this morning when on opening my email, I found these pictures of a conservatory greenhouse project we are currently building in the frigid Northeast along with a note from our lead installer on the project, Jim.
Our clients, hopeful that we could design, manufacture and actually complete the installation of their new greenhouse before winter set in begged us to work expeditiously towards that end. They dearly wanted to be able to start to use the room this year. It might actually have been a Christmas present for someone – I don’t know, but that has been requested of us before.
His note: “Team, Crane arrived on time and lift (of cupola) proceeded without incident. Started exterior cornice and pilasters. Had a big daytime high of 28 degrees (F) with a significant wind chill. That stuff you see hanging off the pilaster is solid ice. Jim”
Normally, we would not tackle an installation of one of our conservatory projects in wintery weather unless there was an overriding reason. A project can be successfully built in the cold, even in the snow (we completed an installation in a blizzard once), however the going is much slower and extra special attention must be paid to everyone’s safety and the sequence of assembly steps. Our extremely dedicated team however is up to the challenge when required.
All of us here at Tanglewood realize that the satisfaction of our clients is the most important thing in the end and we are willing to pull together to do what ever is asked and to work a little extra to make them happy, even if it costs us a bit more to do. This is the way I believe a business needs to treat people if it wants to build itself into a great company.
One of the next jobs the team is scheduled to tackle is in Hawaii so we hope that thought helps to keep them warm.
Great job, everyone on the Tanglewood team, thank you!
