Brookwood Hills Remodel

noreply@blogger.com (Hardline Homes) — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 16:24:00 +0000

The most unique part of this job is the island that cantilevers out 8' from the wall. The picture on the left is the rough steel, and the picture on the right is with the top installed. We are still not done, so it will get even better.

The stainless steel top was installed this morning. If the picture looks like the island is just hanging in mid air, then you are looking at it correctly. We engineered this to be rated for over 250 lbs of weight.

HGTV Day 9: Completion Day

noreply@blogger.com (Hardline Homes) — Fri, 07 May 2010 13:29:00 +0000

All right, finished right on schedule! The wrap party was last night. The homewoner's parents even flew in from California on a surprise visit. The overall experience was great for everyone. The homeowner's are thrilled, HGTV has shot one more successful episode, and Hardline is proud to have our name associated with this project.

HGTV Day 8:

Almost Complete...

This is a shot of the memorial tree planted in memory of the home owner's brother. The episode will explain the significance of this tree in detail.

On a separate note, i believe the camera-man kneeling on the ground was / is the camera-man for Survivor.

This picture has no relevance what-so-ever. I just wanted everyone to meet Tillman Douglass, the beautiful mind who created the Hardline website. And when I say everyone, I do mean all 6 loyal followers of the Hardline Blog. I'm hoping to get my mom to join us and make 7.

You are looking at the cantilever island where the cooktop will be installed. The big tube sticking down from the ceiling is the vent hood. The cantilever island will be wrapped with Stainless Steel and is rated for a 235 pound man to sit on the end of it with only 1/8" of deflection. This baby has been field tested and passed with flying colors.

HGTV Day 6

This picture shows the completion of the driveway and retaining walls. This project is too wet to get any love today. No Sunshine = No Cameras.

HGTV Day 6

noreply@blogger.com (Hardline Homes) — Tue, 04 May 2010 15:30:00 +0000

Here is a before picture on the left and a current picture on the right. We have poured the driveway, built the retaining walls, installed some brick in two different places on the front of the house, and built the front porch. Next phase is to remove and replace the shutters, paint, and landscape.

HGTV - Day 2

noreply@blogger.com (Hardline Homes) — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 19:39:00 +0000

Day 2 consisted of forming and pouring the 'stamped' brick portion of the driveway border. The driveway will have a stamped brick outside border with a standard broom finish interior. The concrete you see on the ground will be pressure washed later this afternoon to reveal the 'red' brick tint. The 'grayish' look in the picture is a powder that allows the brick pattern form to be pulled off the wet concrete and to help seal the color. Unfortunately no camera action today, just work as usual.

HGTV - Day 1

noreply@blogger.com (Hardline Homes) — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 19:33:00 +0000

Ready, Camera, Action:

Here is a glimpse of the shooting for Day 1 of construction. The host of the show is standing in the blue/white shirt far left at the bottom of the stairs and the homeowners are on the top step next to the front door. It took a tremendous amount of time to move all of the Hardline & HGTV groupies out of the way, but eventually we were successful and able to start forming the driveway. More pics to follow.

Hardline to Television

noreply@blogger.com (Hardline Homes) — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 15:14:00 +0000

Don't know if any of you have ever watched HGTV's 'Curb Appeal, The Block' but Hardline will be the General Contractor for an upcoming episode. We are very excited about the opportunity to market our company through this station. If you have never seen the show, you can check it out at http://www.hgtv.com/curb-appeal-the-block/show/index.html

I do not know the programming date for the episode, but we will starting construction mid April at the job site on Lindbergh Drive. The schedule for construction will last only about 2 weeks from start to finish.

At my first meeting with the producer, she told me very politely if i was looking for this to be my big break into television I probably didn't need to be on this show. In other words, you wont be on camera a lot. So were going to leave the television to the professionals and just handle the construction. I don't think you're going to see much of us on television (unless its the side of our head as we walk across the job site) but then again we have faces for radio anyway.
