A Custom Carved Stone Tub

A custom tub you say? That’s what we do!

The Kelly’s tore down an old house and are using the foundation for a new custom home.

When the Kelly’s said they wanted to build their house around a custom stone tub, we had no idea what we were in for.

The Kelly’s travel to Bali quite often.  On one of their trips, they found this stone tub and had it shipped back to the States.  When they started making plans for building they specified that they would need special engineering for this tub.  With construction underway, the day came when we organized to have the tub put in.  Wow, is that the tub? 

The guys sizing it up.

With the hole in the floor, the rock surround finished on the backside and the tile ready, we started securing the stone tub to the crane. Ready, lift!














The tub weighs how much???  6300 lbs.!  That was double what the plans were engineered for.
Hold up! 


As Erik called the engineer, the guys started to work on the trusses.

   










With adjusted specifications for added floor support, we were ready to go.

  

Up and away.  Almost there!



  

We did it!!



The Kelly’s were very relieved!

We are so excited about this project.  Not only did we have a great adventure getting this tub in, the Kelly’s have been so great to work with and have a lot of fun, unique ideas for this custom home.

Stay tuned for more updates and pictures.
