   Those guys are famous in Nu Joisey.  Their TV spokesman is a fat hairy guy wearing a fairy costume who flies (on wires of course) through an old kitchen, waves his magic wand and POOF, a new set of cabinets appears. 

    

   They sell a lot of kitchens around Hoboken, Secacus, Teaneck. 

    

   I was this far from becoming one of their "primo installers" but I got elbowed out by a relative of the hairy fairy.

   (small delicate cough) Perhaps just a whisker?<gdr>Received & read Book 7! And a VERY satisfying read it was. For some reason, I now want the Series in the original language.

   Yes. I'm a sad victim of hairy fairy nepotism.

   Yeah, I gotta give that guy credit.  He has a fine tenor voice.  That's probably why they hired him, cause he doesn't do much for the fairy costume.  But he sings the Figaro aria while flying through the kitchen.

   When I went for my job interview, they had a life sized cardboard cut-out of him right inside the entrance to the showroom.  He had his usual angelic smile, while a recording of his Figaro solo played from a tiny speaker hidden in his left armpit.

   There was this place in South Portland, Maine, a couple of towns north of me called the Hu-Ke-Lau.  It was a Chinese Restaurant that had some funny commercials.  My dad was a loan officer for Key Bank, and he knew the owner well.  One of the commercials had the owner, Sonny, flying around in his "space wok."  It was so funny, loved that commercial when I was a kid.  Your Kitchen Magic guy immediately reminded me of that.  What a good memory!

   Dustin,

   Are you related to the Chairman of the Board, another Maine man, the infamous Piffen?

   Yep.  And there isn't a virgin pine left in that part of the state, either.  Knock wood.

   I am almost inclined to tell you guys my favorite Presque Isle jokes, but don't think this is the right place.  If you don't know, Presque Isle is a town way up in northern Maine.

   Hehe, virgin pines

   This thread hasn't produced more than one straight answer to the original question so why not?  Unless they're raunchy.

   Thanks for putting that image into my head. Now, how do I get it out?

   Do you have any sense about the quality of the cabinets?  My friend is in Massachusetts and he tells me the price quoted is pretty high.  He's not opposed to paying top dollar, but wants to make sure he gets a quality job.

   Anyone out there who can recommend a kitchen cabinet maker in or around Andover MA? Thanks.

   May I suggest that you start a new thread asking your last question?

   I think this one has died from lack of interest, though I tried my best to keep it alive. ;-)
