Casa Roa is still in the thick of the finishing details.
Late this week, the concrete company arrived to place the forms for the cement pads (at the entry ways) and the new sidewalk from the house to garage. The actual cement pour has been delayed until Monday afternoon. Once the concrete is set and dry, the remainder of the work on the front porch (stairs, exposed aggregate coating, railings, finish stonework, etc.) can be done. The Casa Roa tour guide was busy inspecting the forms for the new sidewalk. She approves, particularly of all the new gravel that was brought in.
The highlight of this week's work was the installation of the cabinet doors and hardware. I've included some photos below. As you can see, we went with a traditional shaker door with a v-groove in the middle panels. The plumbing fixtures and lighting (not yet installed) as well as the appliances should give the kitchen a contemporary edge to finish it off. I've never had so much storage space in a kitchen. It's awesome!! There are still a few drawer fronts to install but its still looking great!

The painters are back in full force now that the finishing carpenter is done installing the shoe moulding. I believe the house is getting a good cleaning this upcoming week to get rid of the dust from all the woodwork. That means that we're almost ready for lighting. The tile installer will continue as well and may be finished up this week. Here's hoping that its a progress-filled week at Casa Roa!!
