We're finally back on track and hoping to finish the room by the end of some year. (You'll notice I don't indicate which one.)
As I am writing this post, Mike and Steve are wiring. Our next inspection will focus on the electrical work in the addition (we recently passed the plumbing inspection.)
After months of indecision and testing out a cardboard mock up, we purchased a hood for above the stove. It's quite sleek, I must say, although not nearly as attractive as its cardboard predecessor. The top portion will eventually be encased in stainless steel.
A couple of weeks ago, Mike and Steve finished tearing out the last of the old ceiling.
