The countertops are in – a quartz called Carrara Breve (3 cm thick).

There’s an 18 inch overhang by the breakfast bar; supports will be added along the wall in addition to some metal brackets.

At one point, this overhang was supposed to be 15 inches, but that idea got lost somewhere. Thus the edge of the counter doesn’t line up exactly with the wall as planned. Is anybody except me going to notice? No.

Both interior and exterior are making good progress.

Interior

The interior trim was added, including doors and closet dividers. Note that the bedrooms have 9 ft ceilings, so both interior doors and closet doors are 8 ft tall.

The window sills stick out about an inch. On the two larger windows, the sill sticks out about 3 inches to create window seats.

The kitchen cabinets have been installed, and they look beautiful. As the kitchen divides the great room, we finally get to experience the proportions of dining and living area. There’s extra space on the dining side, that could have been made tighter, but it looks like the whole layout will work well.
