The rework of the front planter area continues. I was able to get the sub-grade work wrapped up and started back filling. I extended the perforated drain line to include another few feet around the foundation perimeter, which was not the biggest deal from a drainage prospective, but it moved the clean out to a location that did not interfere with our front porch. So overall it is a win win. A little better drainage and a lot better configuration to accommodate the finished porch.
Cheryl helped me pull wires for the new high and low voltage boxes. I still need to get the outlets and breakers to hookup power, but there is not much more to do. We need to pour a small slab and do final grading.
The end effect on the surface does not look very different than how it was a month ago, but in terms of drainage, irrigation, and other general functionality it is significantly better.
Cheryl spent the day specifying the cabinets for our "design appointment" tomorrow. It does not sound like much, but figuring out all the details to make things work is not a trivial task. I spent a few hours with her verifying things and figuring out how to optimize available storage. We are excited about the configuration we figured out for our kitchen island.  |
