This summer we replaced cabinets, repainted, replaced the dishwasher, and added a under the counter refrigerator.
Cabinets, countertops, and window sills were manufactured and installed by Waterworths Woodshop. Painting was completed by Greg Hestekind. Wall repair/remodel was completed by Don Larson. Northwest Electrical completed electrical updates. Dave Larson Plumbing completed the plumbing work. It was great to work with our local contractors. Thank you for your work. The room looks beautiful.
This work was not part of the large voter approved building project. This project was part of our 10 year facility plan where we update and repair items that are in need of repair using Long Term Facilities funds. The refrigerator was purchased with Career and Technical grant funds we received.
