It’s amazing what you can accomplish in single day. We refreshed this tired @airbnb unit in the historic Oriental Hotel with a 8” rustic white oak ‘natural’. Extremely quick turnaround for our customer. They are happy, we are happy 😊

About the Oriental Hotel:
“The Oriental Hotel is an excellent example of a late nineteenth century Victorian Italianate hotel, and is notable as the work of the prominent architect John Teague. Elements relating to Teague's design include the extensive use of tall upper storey bay windows and distinct ground-storey arches - made possible by the use of cast iron columns - and reflect the state-of-the-art architectural idiom of the 1880s. The value of this design lies in its classical detailing, ironwork ornamentation, and prominent open facade, which set the Oriental Hotel apart from other historic hotels in the area.

Begun in 1883, this building is notable as one of the first hotels in the Old Town District. Its 1888 expansion, which doubled its size to include additional rooms, unique cantilevered corner bay windows, and a west facade over Oriental Alley, reflects a continued belief in the economic prosperity of the competitive hotel industry which thrived in Victoria's late nineteenth century economy. The attention to detail of this hotel's remarkably intact interior and exterior features reflects the fashionable standards of Victoria's earliest first-rate hotels.

The location of the Oriental Hotel is also significant, as it reflects the early grandeur and multi-functionality of the Yates Street commercial district.”

In the U.S. alone, an estimated 251 million tons of consumer solid waste is generated annually but less than a third is recycled or composted. And as much as 40% of this waste comes from construction projects, which produce a surplus of unused building materials, according to Earth911.

At @plankandsaw we are mindful of this and do our part to reduce construction waste in our community. By separating job site cardboards, soft plastics, and sorting other related materials to recycle whenever possible to minimize our environmental foot print.

2/2 - Restoration work is not a straight line from start to finish. You must carefully assess and strategize, look over the whole project, and figure the process. A daily conference with our team and client, we may change our tactics depending upon what the floor is asking of us. Like any new project or phase in life, you must take time to sit back and just look, recalculate if necessary. With thought, care, skill and attention to detail the results will speak for themselves.

#EarthDay is the day when we celebrate the environment and look to the safeguarding of the planet. To mark this Earth Day we look back at @plankandsaw founder, Zech Inkster’s history of working with wood 🌍🌿🌳

It’s safe to say that wood has been part of Zech’s life since childhood, from grade school woodshop class to a summer job in a sawmill at the North Island community of Sointula. Now after 28 years of specializing in hardwood flooring he is known to be one of the foremost experts in Western Canada in regards to engineered wood flooring, solid wood flooring, and all methods of installing and finishing wood flooring. In 2005 Zech pioneered the introduction of 2-ply engineered wood flooring to Western Canada. By traveling to Perugia, Italy to study the Guglielmo Giordano technology. And then implementing that knowledge and working with the AIBC (Architectural Institute of BC) as an educator. For years he provided accredited CES (Continuing Education System) seminars for building professionals on the advantages of engineered wood flooring; both environmental and structural. Zech strongly believes the first step to building green is to purchase quality flooring materials, real wood, that will last a lifetime.

Zech’s mission statement;
"It is my goal to make a difference in improving the quality of construction by providing a quality building material with knowledgeable and honest service"

Teamed up with our old friend Mylan of @e_n_g_i_n_e_e_r_e_d_stairs on this project. They put the floor in and we came after to work our magic on the finishing. Always special when you get to collaborate with a peer. Shouts to Mylan and to the folks at @wilsoncommons (their home) for asking us to get involved, was super fun and turned out great!
