Morning All:[p]While it isn't quite done, we have made some progress on getting the new Egg kitchen completed. The picture below shows the progress so far and the link covers how we got to this point. It will probably be a couple of weeks more before everything is in place, but the anticipation is half the fun.[p]P5130013.jpg[p]Lawn Ranger, how are you at making drawer pulls? I'm going to need six plus two pulls for the sink doors. I'll get in touch with you shortly via email.[p]Have a GREAT day!

    I guess this means you'll never move.

    SSN686,
    cool logo on your floor! BTW is that a floor drain strip running across the floor? I assume those are mullions in the background so will your room be screened in? If so are you planning to have a ceiling fan or is your roof going to be open thus the need for the floor drain strip?

    Morning Ron:[p]Yes, that is a floor drain strip. The contractor thought it worked better than trying to "connect" the old slab with the new slab (click on the link in the original post to get a better idea of what we started with). Plus as you can see in the pic below, it will be screened in with an open roof (the drain will help during the Florida downpours).[p]P5130008.jpg[p]The screening hasn't been installed yet on the panels at the back of the cabinets in order to have access to install the electrical runs and make it easier to install the counter-tops when they are ready.[p]Have a GREAT day!

    Morning Wardster:[p]Yes, I have definitely been called worse! The "tile" is really acid staining of the concrete slab. It came out better than I expected, especially the "egg" in the middle of the floor (that was Kathy's idea). Here is a better pic of the egg logo.[p] P5130006.jpg[p]The drain strip was white so I tried to match the color of the floor, but didn't quite make it. If I find something later that matches better I may try again, but this looks better than the bright white.[p]Have a GREAT day!

    oh the fun you'll have in there! That is one lovely addition and I bet you'll be seeing more of your neighbors now.

    Morning hayhonker:[p]Thanks for the kind words! We do plan on having a lot of fun with the addition. As for the neighbors, one night about six months ago I had a couple of pork butts going overnight. I had woke up about 3:30am to answer the call of nature and decided to check on the butts also. While I was checking the egg I heard this voice say "What you got cooking there?" At first I had no idea where the voice was coming from, but my neighbor was up and outside at that hour also and just looked over the fence when he saw the light on the porch come on. I almost jumped through the roof when I heard him. So watch out for those neighbors during an all-nighter.[p]Have a GREAT day!
