We’ve had Santa Ana winds this week and they turned the power off Wednesday afternoon and didn’t turn it back on until early Thursday morning. Fortunately, the people working on the earth moving were able to keep working.
The counter people have been busy this week. We have full counters in both kitchens and the bathrooms. The first picture below is of Ted’s prep sink in the foreground and Nina’s washing sink on the lower level in the background. As you can see in the second picture, the counter is two heights, so that we have the high counter for Ted to work on and to have stools at the far end, and a lower height on the side with the dishwasher and large sink for Nina.


In the apartment, they finished the kitchen counters there too. The apartment bathroom counter has the same dark grey counter.


The concrete staircases have dried and lightened in color. The long one that goes from the garage to the apartment and then on up to the deck has lights in it.

There are a couple of pictures of the bridge to the backyard as well. The staircase at the end of it is at the same height as the backyard, but there is currently still a ditch between them. There will be a bridge to connect the bridge to the backyard.
