Because I Can

Constant change is happening daily at the REX Project. James Ray Arnold*cq head framer, and his framing crew can take credit for that. Their team effort and work ethic are beyond all my expectations. On a regular basis, James will phone me (I switched to an unlimited minute package) and suggest different ways to safe money and build our home more efficiently. For example, our original plans showed a partial enclosed staircase. We wanted an open stair case so changes needed to be made. Instead of bulldozing ahead and charging us an arm and a leg, he spoke with Mike Perrotti*cq our number one plumber, and they decided that it would be less expensive to relocated the plumbing rather than rebuild the structure of the building. Savings, close to $500.00

It’s also the little things that make a big difference. James’s crew spends time recycling everything they can, no garbage is tossed around, and the attitude is always positive. They will take the time and rummage through smaller pieces of wood instead of cutting up new boards. That is saving me money on new lumber.

Growing up in my household, we were not allowed to say the word “can’t” and I believe that way of thinking has given me the courage to try new things. And believe you, me, the REX Project is definitely something new.
