This week saw the kitchen go from an empty room to this:
Here are some shots of the process. The soapstone guy, Tom, cut and fabricated the stone in our driveway.
Next week Tom will be back to drill holes for the plumbing fixtures and oil the soapstone which will turn it black and bring out the green striations.
The yards are coming along nicely as well. They finished the last of the rock pathways.
Then they put down landscape fabric.
And finally the decomposed granite.
The compaction took most of the day Friday.
They put bumps in two places just for added bike riding fun.
And we are now ready for planting, which should happen this week since we walked through Laramee’s nursery and picked out plants this morning.
In the backyard, they finished the trenching and laid down the new sprinkler system. Friday it looked like this.
But by the time they left on Saturday, it looked like this.
Next up back here is a little grading, hardscape (boulders, stepping stones, etc.) and lawn.
