Kitchen Cabinets and Bedroom Closets
and  30 November 02 Update
 
The cabinet maker has begun his work.  Here are my concept drawings for the kitchen cabinets and the bedroom closets (or do you call them wardrobes?).  Jesus, our cabinet maker, will turn them into reality.
 


This is the view toward the sink.


This is the view toward the island.

This is a typical kitchen plan.

These are the bedroom closets.  From the left they are for the boy's room, the girl's room, and the parent's room. 
 
These custom wooden units fit into the niches built into each room.  They extend from floor to ceiling.
 
There are drawers on the bottom, a center closet section for hanging clothes, and a top shelf section for little used items (hiding Christmas presents?).  The closet doors will have mirrors on the inside surface.
 
Both the kitchen and bedroom units will have a natural wood finish.
 

Jesus is starting a kitchen wall cabinet.

 

After the plaster is done and the floor is scraped clean, an inch and a half (4 cm) of fine concrete is poured and carefully smoothed to make a finished floor ready for the tile.
 

 

The plaster guys are installing the drop ceiling below the air condition-ing ducts and making a plaster wall were needed..
