The Kitchen

The wood frame above the cabinate over the stove will be sheetrocked in to hide the exhaust vent pipe. There will be space on either side. For plants. Oh joy.

Oops! Poor planning on the designer's part. I think it will be OK with a travel stop on the drawer.

Inside, getting close.

Most things are installed. There is electricity and the gas should be in this week. There are still a few lights to install, some detailing, and the final paint.

Outside. Landscaping!

Except for the gutters and some repair work the outside is about done. The grass is brown and dormant. Bermuda grass seems to be standard here. In California we pulled it as weeds. It does survive the freeze.
