Plaster on the Range...

Terrrible Title heh? Oh well.
Plaster, Stucco..? Whatever you want to call it, (most people call it plaster when it’s on the inside and stucco when it’s on the outside) the living area is 85% complete! Mark brought a four-man crew yesterday and had at it. We are amazed of the change. Almost no more AAC block to look at…..It is a good thing. In fact, it's wonderful. This really defines our living space and we can’t wait till it is all shaped up and ready to paint. Mark thinks this floor and bedroom floor will be done by end of next week.
Next, we had our stove/range delivered today. Well, it’s OK. Due to building codes we were not able to retro in our Viking Stove that sits in our house in Portland because it is not designed to vent downward and that is what we need. Why? Because we did not want a vent hood that came out of the ceiling that would partially block our view – and overall we thought it would look pretty bad going all the way up into the lofted ceiling…. Expensive too… This is a nice unit. A Jen-Air. But, it just isn’t our Viking that we just loved cooking on in Portland. We liked the style of the Viking better as well. But, so it goes. We’ll see if we can still cook yummy meals. We think it also does not look as good right now and will look much much better when we have the island around it…
All for now. Oh, by the way…… We can not believe the weather…. Hot and dry and clear. Of course it is, last year when we needed it to be dry they were calling it Junuary because of all the rain and cold, and collapsed tarps and complaining contractors (big babies!)….
