Hi Unregistered, I am Josveek Huligar of Huligar Stone Restoration. It is my hope that a few good craftsmen and craftswomen will call this sanctuary a home. I will try to make this place as appealing to you as possible. We do have a few ground rules (without rules there can only be chaos). 1. Respect yourself and your trade.2.No trade bashing. But, by all means, please debate. It is through the debates that we get to the truth. 3. In your signature, you may not link to any other site. If you supplied your link in your profile, you may put that link under your avatar 4. Do not insult the guests. 5. Your participation is necessary in all polls. This is the only way we can get real feedback.6.You can post pictures of your work. Please, the only work we really care about is the work you do to stone, not on it (nothing inappropriate). 7. You will also be required to be active in this forum. I intend to rid the NSRA Trade area of the hacks and stone-voyeurs by mandating anyone who wants access to the trade lounge to register with their location and trade. If for any reason a person does not participate for duration of 60 days they will be banned from the lounge "No Beer for you". We have guys who are willing to share their knowledge and experience to the public for free. The least you can do is ask the questions. If trade lounge has just one other person, I would be happy if that one person was someone I could exchange ideas with and by doing so better myself. In that way, this site is more about show and tell. 8. The general public will not be allowed in the trade lounge. The trade lounge members are not allowed in the student lounge. The students will be able to view but not post in the general room. All questions for the trade are to be confined to the trade lounge or they would be redirected to the trade lounge. Anyone in the trade lounge can make a reply to the general room once they keep in mind that we are promoting natural stone as a serviceable product. 9. We are craftsmen and women, not politicians. So leave the politics out. MIA, Marble Cleaning Net, NTC, sfa and ISI are all welcome here as long as they respect this forum. There is a room where all may place their ads and do their promotions for upcoming events, a calendar for trade shows, educational classes, and any other type of trade gathering. For all the salespeople, we even have a place for you. You can enter your product up for reviews and the good folks will grade your products. I must warn you. If your product is inferior, the whole world will know, quickly. No news travels faster than bad news. For all the homeowners, contractors, and designers we even have a place for you. The general room is where you can ask as many questions as you want. You may not get the answer you are looking for but you will get the right answer. If there is any way that we can make your visit more pleasurable, please let us know.

Source: REMODELING Magazine Publication date: January 1, 2007 By Nina Patel This bathroom remodel was in a home with 2-foot thick masonry perimeter walls. Demolition revealed a window that had been covered up — leaving a deep opening in the wall. Stewart Davis, design director of CG&S Design-Build in Austin, Texas, decided to design a cabinet to fit the space. The custom cherry cabinet matches the vanity and is 6 feet 6 inches tall, 30 inches wide, and 16 inches deep. The room did not have enough floor space to include all the storage the homeowners wanted, so this solution was a welcome addition to the project. Davis had opted to have the cabinet flush with the surrounding tile wall, but once the rough-hewn tile on the walls was installed, he realized that the variations in the tiles' surface made that design impossible. “If it was drywall, we could have pulled it off,” Davis says. Instead, the crew used narrow trim to create a clean, finished edge. The master bath had no exterior windows, so to add light, Davis chose to extend the 8-foot ceiling by going up to the existing rafters and adding a skylight and gable window. “No matter how much lighting you add, it cannot take the place of natural light,” he says. The motorized awning window in the gable is controlled by a switch in the bathroom. More...
