The Matsons of Chanhassen worked with Destiny Homes of Chanhassen to
remodel their kitchen. The challenge of their six-sided home made the remodel challenging but they love the results. A point of local
trivia--their home was once owned by Kevin Sorbo who starred in the
popular 1990s TV series "Hercules."

They take turns holding the bags steady for their sparring partners. Overhead, from a speaker, Johnny Cash’s gritty weathered voice provides a fitting soundtrack.
