Is there a carpenter in da house?

[Glock 'em down]

Mrs. GED is wanting some cabinetry done and an island built in her kitchen. We can't seem to find anybody around here who wants to work. We need somebody close the the Holdenville area, but, push come to shove, someone from the OKC area will work too (if the price is right). She wants something like this...

That in Tulsa would cost ya 50-100 thousand worked on a few 4 or 5 years ago.

I have confidence in you if you will youtube it.

you could have the carpentry shop at Jess Dunn build it, but you have to handle installation

I’m thinking you need to be looking for a general contractor and not just a carpenter

If she wants new plumbing in the island, probably, but a cabinetmaker can do almost all of that work.

Wording in the OP leads me to believe that there is no island existing. The picture provided shows a sink so I'd assume the Mrs is wanting one. I've never met a cabinetmaker who is a licensed plumber let alone a master excavator to get the drain and supply to the center of the room. Also,
Sink or not you'd still be required to have electric to meet code. That is another licensed trade Im not sure I'd trust a cabinetmaker to do. There are also other contractors who might need to be involved. Just my 2c

No sink, no electric. She just wants an island in the middle of our big ol kitchen/dining room.

By code. You are required to have electric outlet(s) in a island countertop that serves a kitchen

Hmmm. That doesn't sound right to me. I have a dining room table in my kitchen and it doesn't have electricity ran to it. What's the difference?
