I can honestly say that I’ve only been kicked off a property during a project—here in Woodstock. This hotel was such a disaster, literally falling apart right under the owners’ feet. On this property, we reluctantly tackled the lobby and restaurant space, even though that was not what the owners were looking for, hence the request to leave. Chris Anna and his team from C+A Custom Builders were amazing troopers, so we stayed and finished the project though—clearly not wanted. I was so thrilled with how this space turned out. We found reclaimed lumber to create a mantle that suited the original stone fireplace and to frame out the new walls in the restaurant.
