Update and outdoor kitchen

Hi all. Apologies for the lack of info. I've been traveling a lot and haven't had a chance to blog. But I'll try to catch you all up with where things stand. We have yet to sign a contract with our builder but are getting close. The house designs (which are a part of the contract) are nearly complete now. We hope to get the contract finalized in the next week or so and then signed by all of us. Once that's done, our contractor will break ground...hopefully by mid-May.

We did get all the rogue elm trees removed from the building site last week...and they are spreading mulch over the area that will become the production garden. This will help designate the area as one for the builders to stay off of...so they don't compact the soil with heavy equipment.
I am particularly excited about my outdoor kitchen. Our concrete counter guy is also going to do the outdoor kitchen, including a nice bench, etc. I decided on a built-in American Outdoor Grill with side burner. It will be so sweet to cook outside much of the year! Karin is afraid we will have wasted our money on the inside kitchen. :) Not a chance! Here is a picture of what the outdoor kitchen will look like.

Here are some pictures of the outside of the house. We like how the grounds have evolved. lots of private gardens to enjoy!


More soon, I hope!
