Very nice! How did they strike off the concrete on the sidewalk along the wall
to make it level?
Deck nearing completion.
The bench seat will have 4 hinged tops and has been sized to store all the propane and charcoal and wood chips nice and dry and out of sight.
Signed the contract today for the kitchen redo. All new cabinets full length to the ceiling. All real solid wood or plywood, no fiber board, particle board or strand board. Full length drawers on ball bearing self closing slides, 2 lazy Susan's, 2 spice pull outs and an extension over the fridge area.
Granite countertops with full length matching back splashes all the way to the cabinets and a granite windowsill, a new sink and all the demolition and installation.
No plumbing, no floors, no appliances. Work starts May 26.
Eleven grand! Woo-hoo, one third of the previous quote -

It's granite, not quartz, so it will need sealing. They did have quartz, but the patterns were kinda bleak. Granite is their thing. You don't get your choice of 5 different woods and 200 different stains. The back splash is not as thick as the counter tops. The sink is not molded into the counter top, it's just a SS sink.
The cabinets are good sturdy construction with solid wood fronts and doors and drawers. The rest is plywood and that's good enough for me. It's a real walk in and see and feel the product brick and mortar store with a CA contractor license and in business since 2005. 5 star Yelp helps too.
Yes, I thought the first quote was way too high and so did Kelly and her very high end friend. This does seem a bargain and since all the people there are Asian I think the stuff is all coming from China. But I have never had a problem with Chinese goods quality wise so I'm good to go. Signed on the dotted line, I'm committed.
