Kitchen Plan #1

Prior to the framing process starting on the house, our contractor asked that we have the following picked out and ordered: cabinets, flooring and lighting.

Labor Day Weekend

This weekend was great! I had the opportunity to fly down to Blue Mountain Lodge, my Dad's hunting and fishing outfit, on the beautiful Alaska Peninsula.
