HGTV's Beyond the Box Program featuring
Grand Contracting, Inc. to air Wednesday, October 27th, 9:30pm MST Tune into your local HGTV programming for details Also featured in the Sky Hi Daily news, copy and paste link below: http://www.skyhidailynews.com/article/20080926/NEWS/809269951/1079  Grand Contracting, Inc. has been selected by HGTV to be featured in a new show called "Beyond the Box." The focus of this new television show is beautiful homes that have materials or products used in creative ways to bring  about savings. Homeowners featured make their homes work within their budget, whatever that budget is. Some of the savings and creative use of materials that this 2005 Overall Parade Winner (featured on this web site) utilized was its use of barnwood siding, reclaimed from an old weathered school house and then later used as a dairy barn. This reclaimed lumber is not only unique, but the 100-plus-year aged siding requires little or no maintenance, thus adding future savings since it never needs to be restained or repainted. This house was also chosen for its use of beetle-kill lumber; that was then distressed, stained dark and then secured with old fashioned cut nails, for a rustic-elegant great room floor. And all 52 windows were also distressed, stained and then glazed, in-house, to create the look of reclaimed windows and trim, but at new build costs. The  grout in the fireplaces and exterior stone were also made wider to copy the look that a farmer would have created when building his own barn foundation. This widened grout gave the home the old west look they were seeking while reducing the amount of stone needed. Being in the Parade of Homes created large savings, as well, as manufacturers, suppliers, subcontractors and vendors reduced costs for the chance to highlight their products. This home, built by Grand Contracting, Inc. and designed by Scott Munn of James K. Pool Architect and Associates, will be the anchor home on a one-half hour episode. The show will be in high-definition, with lots of sweeping, stunning photography. The show is reputed to raise the televison production quality bar, showcasing amazingly creative homes, but shot in a sleek, contemporary style.  The series "Beyond the Box" is scheduled to air in the beginning of 2008, possibly sooner. Stay posted to this site for more information. The air date and time will be posted when known. Photos feature Isabel and Mike Conger, Vice President and President of Grand Contracting, Inc., and a camera crew from High Noon Entertainment, for the Home and Garden Channel (HGTV). |
