Carlisle partners with Crown Point in contributing a little something to Homes for Our Troops
We were delighted when our good friends at Crown Point Cabinetry asked us about building materials for a project they were doing for Homes for Troops, a favorite group of Crown Point’s president Brian Stowell. Back in May, Brian came to us looking for some Antique Heart Pine for cabinets he would donating to the organization. We rustled some up for his project, which is now well underway and the cabinets are due to be installed in the new house very soon.
As you’ll see by this blog post over at Wood Shavings, Crown Point has been working with Homes for Troops for some time now, having completed five projects with them. Homes for Troops raises money, finds building materials and recruits skilled labor to build adapted homes for members of the military who come home from their tours of duty with injuries. The most recent project is for a young man who is now paralyzed from the upper chest down as a result of sniper fire in Iraq.
This particular home will meet a very high standard for energy efficiencies and being environmentally friendly. Crown Point handcrafts universal cabinetry from Carlisle’s responsibly reclaimed Antique Heart Pine. Production for the home for Visnu Gonzalez (upper left) in New Jersey is underway now at Crown Point headquarters (left). The cabinetry includes such adaptations as open areas under the counter space and cabinets that are shorter than standard. There are also pull-down features to the upper cabinets, according to Crown Point’s designer Melissa Billings.
Crown Point Cabinetry has been our partner for a while. We provide them with reclaimed wood for use in making their wonderful cabinets. We often work together when there’s a trade show, by using their cabinets in our booth and our floors in their booth. It’s a great partnership and we’re delighted to have gotten involved in this worthy cause with them.
