The metal copper-colored roof has been installed over the front door. It isn't completely finished, but this photo gives a good idea of what it will be like. We noticed the materials had been delivered about a week ago, so we were anxious to see what it would look like.
The kitchen is ready to be templated for the granite counter. The fabricator is coming out on Monday to template the granite. The beverage center is now installed correctly and the doors on the cabinets that will have glass in them are now on. The electrician has been busy putting the pot (can) lights in the ceiling and every now and then you can see a switchplate that has been put on.
I just figured out that the doors on the angled cupboards actually open! I thought these 2 areas on each side of the island were empty space, but I was wrong. I'm not exactly sure what I'll put in there...
All the kitchen drawers (and master bathroom drawers) will be full extension - they will open all the way so you can easily access things in the back of the drawers. For us, that also means the drawers are all soft-close because our cabinet company doesn't sell one option without the other.
When we lived in North Carolina, we had some doors that could swing in either direction and if you pushed them slightly past 90 degrees, they would stay open. We asked for those hinges in the new house on the kitchen pantry door, on the double door between the family room and great room, and on the door between the hall by the stairs and the entryway. When we went out to the house today we were surprised to see these HUGE commercial swinging door hinges. The doors swing in both directions, but they don't stay open when pushed past 90 degrees.
We met with our KD's tile guy today. He will be doing the stone and tile work in our master bathroom. He was looking at the kitchen before he left and pointed out that we might have an issue with the granite counters/outlets/window moldings on the window walls. The countertops are 1.25" high and are supposed to continue up the wall for a 2" backsplash. With the outlets located like they are, there isn't any room for the 2" tall granite backsplash. He suggested several different solutions. We're not exactly sure what we will do there yet, but we're glad that he pointed out the issue to us.
