As we close in on being able to move into The Garage Mahal, we see here (1) the newly-installed pantry door; (2) the workbench and tool storage area (it only took me 3 years to get organized); and (3) management hanging around in case there are any dog biscuits involved.
A look out a living room window across the courtyard reveals a stunningly functional and newly-installed door leading into the master bedroom suite. The courtyard is going to look nice with murals, climbing roses and a fountain.
Typical of what I'm working on this week are smaller jobs such as (1) the controls for the whole-house fan and (2) running a cold water line towards the kitchen. Small stuff, but it adds up - at least in theory.
Another small project is prepping the main kitchen wall for finishing. At the bottom of the photo, you can see one of the studs attached to the wall with adhesives prior to putting up sheetrock. After getting the 2x4 studs on, we are ready to lay cement in to fill in and smooth out the window sills.
As the sun sets slowly over this, our own small chunk o' Empire, we take a last, lingering, loving and certainly loquacious look down the length of the living room from la cocina. I think we can safely say we are on the final leg of our race instead of on our last legs...
