Most exciting, of course, is to see the kitchen coming together! With custom-made cabinets (that will be painted in an Indigo Blue), and the refrigerator already installed (right, hidden with the panels), this room has made the most progress in August.
Just a week ago, the cabinetry was being manufactured by CNC mill, which is shown below carving the "almofadas", or panel medallions:
The arrival of the appliances signaled that habitation is near! With a suite of kitchen appliances from Bosch and Siemens, and laundry from AEG, our German-centric machinery should aim to please:
Other progress includes repaired interior doors, air conditioning vents and equipment, wooden moldings and baseboards on the walls, and near-complete plaster-work:
